The Cats are getting a much needed rest today.

Good morning, Kentucky fans. The Wildcats are off this week as they recover from an injury laden first half of the season. They are enjoying a much needed rest after a big home win over the Mississippi State Bulldogs.

Will Levis is particularly beat up as he nurses a foot injury as well as a shoulder injury. It will be of the utmost importance for Levis to get as close to 100% as possible before heading on the road to face the Tennessee Volunteers in Knoxville next week.

This season has been a mix of highs and lows. The highs being winning on the road at Florida and beating a high octane offense in a must win game at home. The lows are giving the game away at Ole Miss and suffering a disaster of an upset against South Carolina.

It’ll be interesting to see how this team responds to the ups and downs. We have seen flashes of how good this team can be but there have been some head scratching moments that included turnovers and undisciplined penalties.

Today we get to relax and enjoy college football without the worry of losing on a Saturday.

Enjoy today because the Cats are back next Saturday.
