If you were to ask any Kentucky fan what team would be a dream opponent to see the Wildcats play at Kroger Field, you would hear many folks’ response be “Duke.” The hatred from basketball spills out into every aspect of these two rivals.

Getting the chance to see the Blue Devils and Wildcats play on a football field would feel almost surreal. There have been many years I’ve hoped for this to be the bowl matchup that Kentucky would get. How about we make it a regular season game instead?

When looking back at the history between the two on the gridiron, Duke owns the series with a clean sweep 0f 4-0. The last meeting came in 1933. Somebody get coach Stoops on the phone ASAP. We need to fix this immediately!

dark. Next. Looking ahead to Ole Miss
