UK football will face little resistance in season opener

By Joshua Huff

This Saturday will mark the first meeting between UK and UL Lafayette, and if the Cats hold true to predictions, the contest will be a lopsided affair in favor of UK.

The Ragin’ Cajuns, however, are not your typical mid-major opponent. Unlike UK, they have had four-straight nine-win seasons – joining Oregon as the only two teams to win nine games and a bowl game in four-straight seasons – and despite entering the 2015 season with more questions than answers, another nine-win season isn’t farfetched.

UL Lafayette’s journey back to nine wins will begin with a mountain of an obstacle.
