After a 9-6 start with real bubble concerns after losing the first two SEC matchups, Kentucky has put together a five-game winning streak and some solid momentum going into a crucial stretch on the road against back-to-back ranked opponents. Up first? The Vanderbilt Commodores, who needed some momentum themselves after losing three straight coming off a perfect 16-0 start to the season. They earned some breathing room with a blowout win at Mississippi State over the weekend.
Can UK turn five into six — then potentially seven in Fayetteville on Saturday? One game at a time, but KSR has everything you need to know about this battle between the Wildcats and Commodores.
