2012 Kentucky Wildcats Football Preview

The Kentucky Wildcats compete in the Eastern Division of the Southeastern conference. The Wildcats football program is one of the oldest in the country, going back to 1881. Kentucky joined the SEC in 1932, and have won two conference championships. In 1950, Kentucky won their one and only national championship. Located in Lexington, Kentucky, the Wildcats play in Commonwealth Stadium, which can hold 68,000 at capacity. Kentucky has played in 14 postseason bowl games in their history. They have never had a Heisman Trophy winner. The Wildcats have not had much success in the conference since it split into the two divisions, never winning the East.

2012 Kentucky Wildcats Outlook

The Kentucky Wildcats are picked to finish in the bottom of the SEC East division, with odds and experts reflecting that at 100/1 to win the conference championship. Looks like this won't be Kentucky's year, but stranger things have happened. Improvement will definitely need to start on the offensive side of the ball, as the Wildcats ranked 117th in the country in points per game at just over 15. That is almost dead last in FBS.
