Can head coach Mark Stoops and the Kentucky football team continue its success and get to the postseason for a fourth consecutive time?

The Kentucky football program had its first 10-win season since 1977 and arguably its best year since Bear Bryant led them to a Sugar Bowl win in 1950.

Head coach Mark Stoops did it the right way; he recruited guys that fit his system, and he developed them.

So last season he had an experienced, senior-laden team that won a lot of games. Is the expectation to wait on young guys to develop and every 3-4 years win nine or 10 games? This season will answer that question.

How will the Wildcats do this season? Can they make it to a fourth straight bowl game, or will they take several steps back after losing so many great players from last season’s team?

Here’s a look at their offense, defense and a prediction on their season record.
