After that disheartening experience last week watching Florida score 19 unanswered fourth quarter points to steal another football victory in the waning minutes (or perhaps as many of us might be prone to suggest, the resurgence of Kentucky’s uncanny ability to not win big games they should), I thought it might be interesting to turn to historical precedents to see how the outcome of the Mississippi State game might foretell the success (or lack thereof) of the remainder of the football Cats’ season.
I collected data on the outcomes of 41 Kentucky/Mississippi State games all the way back to 1950.
