Building Upon Recent Success

The Kentucky football program has made least and bounds since the genesis of the Mark Stoops era. Enhanced recruiting tactics and a slew of great game planning have out the Wildcats in position to make some noise in 2017. In a conference like the SEC, winning every year is easier said than done. Fans can say all they want about Stoops, but the man has been the resuscitation that was needed in Lexington.

With eight out of the ten names on this list returning in 2017, Kentucky Football looks to take the extra step in the program’s development. Next thing on the list? Increasing the win column and adding a bowl victory to the resume.
