Kentucky football: Prediction for every game on Wildcats 2022 schedule
By Eric Thorne
An angry Rodriguez will pile up yards in final four games starting with Mizzou
Venue: Faurot Field
City: Columbia, MO
Overall Matchup Record: Kentucky leads the series 8-4
Last meeting: Kentucky won 35-28 last year
It’s doubtful Kentucky will experience a lot of fireworks in its next two games but they are the take care of business games the Cats must win.
Kentucky has scored a combined 87 points in six trips to Columbia, however, 35 of those came in 2016 for an average of 14.5. If you take away the 35 it’s a mere 10.4 over the other five games. Stoops is just 2-2 in Columbia.
Yawn.
There has been a bit of bad blood between these two and for some reason, some Missouri players are claiming they hate Kentucky and it’s a bigger rival than Arkansas. Not really sure about that one.
The Tigers will once again make things difficult for Kentucky after they travel to South Carolina the week prior as they try to move up from the SEC East cellar Kentucky once occupied with Vanderbilt.
If Chris Rodriguez misses the first four games of the season he is going to make teams pay on the back end. Look for him to put up some hard-nosed numbers and touchdowns.
Kentucky leaves Columbia with a 21-17 victory
