The Kentucky Wildcats are looking to move to 4-o as they start conference play against the Vanderbilt Commodores.
On Monday, coach Mark Stoops talked expects to see a fired up Vanderbilt team that is coming off a tough loss.
“They are coming off an extremely tough loss, coming in 2-2,” Stoops said. “They had an opportunity to win the game, but missed a field goal and lost in the last second.
With Stoops’ relationship with Vanderbilt coach Clark Lea, he knows the Commodores will be ready to go on Saturday.
“Knowing Coach Lea like I do, and Clark, he is going to have that team ready to play. I saw it a year ago and said it in the press conference on Monday a year ago, I watched the energy they play with. I watch how hard they play, how physical they are, any time you do that if gives you a chance to win.”
