The Kentucky football is always difficult to peg in the pre-season. After eleven seasons under Mark Stoops, you never feel like the Wildcats are going to be among the SEC elite, but you also never feel like they are going to be among the league’s worst. Stoops has made it to year 12 by giving the basketball mad Kentucky fans just enough football success to keep them happy. He’s won ten games twice and had just one losing season since 2015. Usually, his teams win seven or eight games and go to a bowl, then get out of the way of the basketball team.
