Kentucky Starting 6-1?
It may be a little hard to believe, but with a win tonight against LSU, Kentucky would be 6-1 on the season, after just 4 wins combined the previous two seasons. A 6-1 start to the season would put this Kentucky team in exclusive company in program history. Here are a list of past Kentucky teams, post-World War II, to start a season 6-1 or better through 7 games and how they fared the rest of the season:
• 1949: Started 6-1, went 3-2 the rest of the season for a 9-3 overall record, lost to Santa Clara in the Orange Bowl
• 1950: Started 7-0, went 4-1 the rest of the season for an 11-1 overall record, defeated Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl
• 1977: Started 6-1, went 4-0 the rest of the season for a 10-1 overall record, couldn’t play in a bowl game due to probation
• 2007: Started 6-1, went 2-4 the rest of the season for an 8-5 overall record, defeated Florida State in the Music City Bowl
