Fresh off the heels of a win over then No. 12 Florida in Gainesville, now No. 9 Kentucky sets its sights on its annual FCS opponent with this year’s sacrificial lamb being the Youngstown State Penguins.
Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops has scheduled at least one FCS opponent every year of his tenure at UK, dating back to 2013, with a single exception of the 2020 Covid-19 conference-only season.
While Wildcat fans may be used to the likes of Tennessee Martin, Eastern Kentucky and most recently Chattanooga, Youngstown State is a team Kentucky has never played during the entire history of either program.
