Monday Headlines: Kentucky is still chasing greatness

Good morning BBN.

While the Kentucky Wildcat’s loss to Georgia likely ended their SEC East title hopes, a historic season is still very much within reach for Mark Stoops and his Cats.

Remember, Kentucky has just three 10+ win seasons in program history (11 in 1950, 10 in 1977 and 10 in 2018), so hitting that mark this season would make for a banner season, even if the Cats did just accomplish it three years ago.

If Kentucky loses just one more game and finishes with a 10-2 mark, then winning the bowl game would lead to the Wildcats’ first 11-win season since the 11-1 team in 1950.

But looking at the rest of the schedule, the opportunity is absolutely there for Kentucky to win out and finish 11-1, which would be the best regular-season finish in program history.

Do that and win the bowl game, then we’re talking about the program’s first ever 12-win season.

So yeah, while Kentucky may not win their division, the history that is still within reach absolutely exceeds that.

But first thing’s first. Get rested up during the bye, and beat Mississippi State.

Kentucky lost to Georgia again. What can the Wildcats still achieve this season?
Whether the timing of the bye is more positive or negative ultimately will depend on the outcome of Kentucky’s next game. Does a week off, after a loss viewed by millions across the country, distort the team’s focus? Will that disappointment lead to a hangover, as it did in 2018 when UK traveled to Tennessee and got rocked? Or do the Wildcats wipe the blood off their chin and regroup with authority?

SEC Power Rankings: Ranking every SEC team after Week 7
On Kentucky: "I am not going to punish the Wildcats too much for losing to Georgia. The Bulldogs are the best team in the country, by far. They shut down Kentucky’s running game, which has been its bread and butter all year. The SEC’s leading rusher, Chris Rodriguez Jr., was held to 7 yards on 7 carries. That’s how good the Dawgs are on defense. This still can be a special season for the Wildcats. They’ll have a chance to get back on track on Oct. 30 at Mississippi State after an off week in Week 8."
