Kentucky is the talk of college football right now — in a good way — which is a pretty surreal experience for just about everyone. Over the course of the last month, the Cats have slowly proved the haters — and an emotionally scarred fanbase — wrong, turning in convincing win after convincing win over league foes, two of them ranked. Best start since 2007, best SEC start since 1977, No. 13 in the AP poll, Heisman candidate…a quick scroll through KSR is enough to make you want to pinch yourself.
More impressive than Kentucky’s success is how they’re achieving it; not with a gimmick as in years past, but with suffocating defense and an unstoppable run game.
