Week 2 was good to Kentucky.
Not only did the Wildcats improve to 2-0 with a 26-22 win at South Carolina on Saturday, but they also extended one of the most interesting streaks in college football while also ending one of the more embarrassing ones.
The victory gave Kentucky its 18th consecutive win in Week 2 of the regular season.
It also ended the program’s 22-game losing streak in road games, giving Mark Stoops his first win away from Commonwealth Stadium.
Kudos to the Wildcats!
