Talk about a program defining win. Kentucky was already feeling good after earning bowl eligibility last week, but the one over Louisville is a program changer for Mark Stoops and Wildcats.

Remember when Kentucky was 0-2, and we (I) were pretty sure that Mark Stoops would be fired at the end of the year and Kentucky would continue to not get over the hump? Well the Wildcats made sure that wouldn’t happen, and they stopped Louisville and their potential Heisman winner, Lamar Jackson. The victory over Louisville is huge for Kentucky, it shows that this program is turning a corner and just might challenge for SEC East titles in the near future. A win over the Cardinals gives Kentucky all the confidence they need to go win their bowl game and continue elevating the program.
