Kentucky Football and Mark Stoops are 5-1, on the cusp of being ranked nationally, and have a nice path to a magical season laid out. However, you can only take it one game at a time, and that game is in Starkville, Mississippi.
So, what is *really* on the line this weekend for the Wildcats? If they were to lose the game, they would be 5-2 with three games ahead of them they are likely going to be favored in… not a bad set up.
However, there is something much bigger at play than just a win or a loss for this team and the Stoops Era: perception.
