Kentucky Wildcats CFB Week 10 Betting Lines
So far, this has been a season of extremes for the Kentucky Wildcats. The lowest point of the season was a 31-6 home loss to the South Carolina Gamecocks. But two weeks later, head coach Mark Stoops and his Wildcats won on the road against the heavily favored Ole Miss rebels. Late on, Kentucky has fallen on hard times and has lacked a credible offense. This week brings a difficult but not impossible task on the road against the Tennessee Volunteers. Tennessee has also had its issues offensively but has a strong defense.

Kentucky football welcomed the Auburn Tigers into Kroger Field on Saturday night. The Wildcats were looking to bounce back after losses to Vandy and Florida, and it wasn't much better against the Tigers, as they fell 24-10. With the loss, Kentucky's bowl eligibility this season is now against the wall. The Wildcats started with a 10-0 lead in the first quarter, but Auburn scored 24 unanswered points and never looked back.
Now, Kentucky's season just took another blow. A 3-5 overall record and 1-5 in the SEC is not a recipe for a bowl game. Unless something unexpected happens, it doesn't look good for Kentucky's bowl eligibility hopes. The Wildcats have now gone winless at home this season with a 0-4 record in SEC play, the first time since 2013. Kentucky is also now 2-11 in their last 13 SEC home games.
It seemed to be a regular occurrence this season, but Kentucky's offense didn't look the part. The Wildcats started the game with a 10-0 lead, but then it was 24 unanswered points by Auburn and the Wildcats never looked the same since. Quarterback Brock Vandagriff threw for just 120 yards and had an interception. During the second half, Vandagriff was benched, and Kentucky decided to try out the backup, Gavin Wimsatt, which didn't turn out much better—credit where it's due, though. Dane Key had 87 yards on four catches Saturday night. All in all, the Wildcats offense stalled ever since the performance in the first quarter. Adding to the frustrating statistics mentioned earlier, Kentucky hasn't scored more than 20 points in an SEC game yet this season.

Although best known as a basketball school, the University of Kentucky has an interesting football history. Kentucky won a national championship in 1950 and has two conference titles. It would surprise many that the late great Bear Bryant was the head coach for the only natty in school history, winning the SEC title that same year. Fran Curci was the other head coach to lead Kentucky to an SEC title.
Kentucky has had some big-time players in its history, with stars such as Lynn Bowden, Max Duffy, Josh Allen, Derek Abney, James Whalen, Tim Couch, Art Still, Sam Ball, Lou Michaels, Bob Gain, and Babe Parilli.
Other notable head coaches were Jerry Claiborne, Hal Mumme, and Rich Brooks.
Current head coach Mark Stoops has produced eight consecutive bowl seasons and two final rankings of 18th or better. Stoops has 73 career wins, the most of any Kentucky coach.
