2008 Kentucky Wildcats Football

2008 KENTUCKY WILDCATS FOOTBALL PREVIEW

The 2008 Kentucky Wildcats football season looks to be a down one. After two straight appearances (and victories) in the Music City Bowl – a return bowl trip does not look likely in 2008.

Reason: One main one – Star quarterback Andre Woodson is gone. He was drafted in the 6th round of the NFL draft by the New York Giants. And, UK will not replace him.

Kentucky finished the 2007 football season with an 8-5 record. The Wildcats had 2 amazing games at Commonwealth Stadium. First was a 3 overtime win against then undefeated and top-ranked (and eventual national champion) LSU. But, the second amazing game was a 4 OT loss to the Tennessee Vols (despite Woodson throwing for six touchdown passes and 430 total passing yards). Both of those games were amazing. Earlier in the season, the Cats beat rival Lousiville in a great come-from-behind win. And the season ended with a nice bowl win against Florida State.

Kentucky is lucky that they have (by SEC standards) a relatively weak schedule in 2008. They are fortunate to not have to play either Auburn or LSU. But, they are still left with games against Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, South Carolina, Mississippi State and, of course, they stat the season at cross-state rival Louisville. If UK could manage to pull out one of those 7 games and run the table with the rest (including Arkansas and Vandy), they could make it to a bowl game.

We just don’t think it will happen; not with a new, untested sophomore QB – and only two 2008 Preseason All-SEC players (Defensive Lineman Jeremy Jarmon and Offensive Lineman Garry Williams); both 2d teamers. They lost all their great receivers except for Dicky Lyons.

Bottom line prediction: 5-7, 5th in the SEC East.
