Happy fourth of July, everyone. While the holiday has been full of grilling, fireworks and cool drinks in the mid-summer heat wave, it’s been 244 years since our first Independence Day, and it’s important to remember what we’re celebrating.

With that being said, we have just 60 days until Kentucky Football Eve. There’s been a great deal of hype surrounding the team and expectations for the Wildcats are relatively high. Kentucky is ranked No. 20 in ESPN’s early Top-25 rankings.

Another 10-3, big bowl game season seems to be the goal for most UK fans. But is that goal attainable? Below we’ll take a brief look at the 2022 schedule and analyze the outcome of each game Kentucky has scheduled for this season.
