After taking their second bye week of the season, the Kentucky Wildcats are set to return to the field this weekend as they host the No. 21 Texas Longhorns at Kroger Field. The game is slated to kick off at 7 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on ESPN.
Entering the matchup, Kentucky holds a record of 2-3 for the season and has struggled in the Southeastern Conference, sitting at 0-3. The Wildcats are looking to bounce back from their previous game where they suffered a 35-13 defeat against Georgia.
On the other side, the Texas Longhorns come into this contest with a 4-2 record, standing at 1-1 in conference play. They are riding high after a significant victory against their arch-rival Oklahoma, winning that game 23-6.
This encounter marks an intriguing moment, as it represents only the second time Texas will compete in the Bluegrass State. Their first visit occurred in 1993 when they faced Louisville and lost. This history adds an additional layer of excitement for both teams as they prepare for what promises to be a compelling matchup.
Fans will be eager to see if Kentucky can turn their season around at home, while Texas looks to build momentum on the road.
