Tonight the SEC Network will unveil the 2017 football schedule for Kentucky. Eleven of the opponents are already known, it's just a matter of solidifying dates.
On the schedule includes non-conference home games against Louisville, Eastern Michigan, and a road game to open the season at Southern Miss. The SEC tilt includes home games against Florida, Missouri, Ole Miss, and Tennessee while the road games include at Georgia, Mississippi State, South Carolina, and Vanderbilt. Kentucky has one remaining non-conference game to schedule which will more than likely be an FCS school of some kind.
Reminder: The WIldcats' 2017 football schedule will be released tonight at 8:30 p.m. on SEC Now.
