If Kentucky can knock off 14th-ranked Mississippi State on Saturday night at Kroger Field, it would snap another negative streak in the program’s history.
As we all know, the Cats (finally) defeated Florida 27-16 on Sept. 8 in Gainesville, not only ending that nightmare of a 31-game losing streak against the Gators, but also accomplishing a win over a ranked team. Florida was 25th in the AP college football poll that week.
If UK can beat Mississippi State, it would be the first time the Cats would have beaten two ranked teams in the same season since 2007.
