The Kentucky Wildcats wrap up SEC play this week when they face Tennessee before turning their attention to another team from the Volunteer State.

While the opponent may not measure up to what’s been a loaded SEC slate, this is still going to be a special game for Kentucky, who will be honoring one of the greatest senior classes the school has ever had. Guys like Derrick Baity, Josh Allen, Jordan Jones, Chris Westry, Darius West, Mike Edwards and George Asafo-Adjei came to Kentucky when it was an SEC bottom-feeder, but have carried it to being one of the league’s best teams as their finish their SEC careers.

This also could be the final home game for junior running back Benny Snell, who could leave for the 2019 NFL Draft following the season.

All of this is why Kroger Field should be packed with fans looking to cheer on these guys in their final game in Lexington.
