After a terribly disappointing start to the season, Big Blue Nation is finding it hard to rally support for their Wildcats on the gridiron. As if losing to Southern Miss wasn’t bad enough, Kentucky got smoked in Gainesville last weekend by a score of 45-7 – extending the 30-year losing streak to the Gators.
Kentucky returns to the friendly confines of Commonwealth Stadium this weekend against New Mexico State, however, it does not appear the Wildcats will be benefitting from much of a home field advantage.
