Kentucky's strong first half gives UK fans plenty of optimism and excitement for the rest of the season.
Kentucky has long been looking forward to this moment. In a sold out home game in a newly renovated stadium, the Kentucky Wildcats put their patented Air Raid offense on display, creating a palpable buzz and excitement that has fans thinking "bowl game".
The game, however, was closer than many Kentucky fans would have liked. Kentucky faltered in the second half, blowing a 23-point lead only to see a tie game with 5 minutes remaining. Fans are both optimistic and pessimistic after Saturday's win over Louisiana-Lafayette.
