We are officially just one day from the kickoff of Kentucky Football’s 2026-2027 season.
Under the leadership of first-year head coach Will Stein, the very much new-look Wildcats seem poised to flip the script from their past several seasons.
After going 9-15 over the last two years and barely notching a winning record in the two seasons prior, a change was needed in Lexington.
Stein and his Wildcats open the season tomorrow against Youngstown State (1 PM ET on SEC Network+), where Kentucky is a significant
favorite to start the Stein Era on a high note.
ESPN’s Football Power Index is giving the Wildcats better than a 93% chance to win with the point spread set at 22.5.
The Wildcats have taken the only previous matchup between the two programs, winning 31-0 back in 2022.
While there are so many new faces on this Kentucky team, the talent is there following Stein’s success in the transfer portal.
So, let us know your game predictions in the comment section below!
