Kentucky Wildcats

This season of Kentucky football is fascinating to watch as an outsider. For starters, before last season was even finished, Texas A&M was seemingly set to hire Mark Stoops, then the A&M fanbase revolted demanding better so the Aggies chose Mike Elko. Now Stoops claims he turned the job down while Texas A&M says Stoops was denied.

After all of the chaos this offseason, the Wildcats entered the season with darkhorse potential after bringing in a haul in the transfer portal. In Week One, the Wildcats dominated in a game that ended early due to lightning. Then in Week Two the Wildcats laid an egg getting dominated by South Carolina and they now have to host the Georgia Bulldogs.

The Wildcat fanbase may start to clamor for a change at Head Coach especially after Stoops flirted with leaving. Stoops has finished 7-6 the past two seasons and based on how the Wildcats have looked thus far getting back to that record may even be a stretch.

Oklahoma Sooners

Last Weekend, Oklahoma fans had to sweat out what was almost a disastrous loss to the Houston Cougars. This weekend Oklahoma is tasked with facing a Tulane team that can play with the best of teams thanks to their talent at the skill positions. If Brent Venables loses this game things could get ugly this season in Norman. Now, Oklahoma should win this game but, if they don't they can only lose once with Texas, Alabama, LSU, Tennessee, Ole Miss, and Missouri all on the schedule.
