Turning the Tables

The Kentucky Wildcats now have the pressure of repeating the same success that they achieved in 2016. Fans will have insanely high projections as well as expectations. The Wildcats only lost a handful of Seniors who were major contributors. Along with the transfer of Jeff Badet and the early departure of Boom Williams, Kentucky does have some question that need to be answered.

A look into what could be the key contributors on the Offensive side of the football starts with this list of players along with, of course, Benny Snell.

As the Spring Practice season creeps up on the Kentucky Football team, it will be interesting to follow the headlines as news is reported from camp. Stay tuned for more thoughts and projections for the 2017 season. Go Big Blue!
