Challenges for Kentucky
Kentucky is playing a team it has defeated in six straight games of the series. Vandy has a terrible defense allowing opponents 37 points per contest on average. That said, Vanderbilt has played the toughest schedule in the SEC. They do lead the league in defensive touchdowns with three. Kentucky can’t afford to be complacent with Vandy.
Saturday‘s game kicks off at 11:00 AM CT (12:00 PM ET). Watch this SEC football game on the SEC Network.
