22+ hour, 40+ min ago (296+ words) Entering Rivalry Week, Kentucky hadn't played a competitive game since the start of the month when it ground out a 7-point win over Auburn. Kentucky still has not played a competitive game. After back-to-back runaway wins to climb within a single victory of bowl eligibility, Kentucky closed out the 2025 season with consecutive blowout losses. The final nail in the coffin of this season and, perhaps, the Mark Stoops era, was hammered vociferously into place by rival Louisville on Saturday with a 41-0 shutout. The 41-point margin represents the largest win for Louisville over Kentucky in program history. The shutout is the first in the series since 2004, and Kentucky's first in any game since the Music City Bowl on Dec. 31, 2022. Kentucky was outgained 440-147. Kentucky ran 26 times and gained 40 yards. Quarterback Cutter Boley was sacked 6 times. He was picked off twice. He completed…...

2+ week, 3+ day ago (265+ words) Kentucky guard Jaland Lowe injured his right shoulder during Thursday's team practice, according to a report from KSR's Jack Pilgrim. The severity of the injury is unknown, according to KSR.

Lowe made his season debut for Kentucky against Valparaiso on Nov. 7. He played 18 minutes and scored 6 points to go with 5 assists.

1+ mon, 2+ week ago (308+ words) Kentucky guard Otega Oweh and the Wildcats basketball team is gearing up for the start of the season, and there are high expectations as the Wildcats enter the season ranked as the No. 9 team in the country. Not only is the media thinking big on Kentucky, but Oweh also believes this team can be special. When asked about what the team's goals are, he said the team is going after a championship. "We have guys who goals and aspirations to win it all," Oweh said on SEC Tip-Off. "We have Denzel (Aberdeen) who won it. We can lean on him for that advice. On top of that, everybody is hungry and eager to get No. 9. I feel like that is what we owe BBN. Like J-Lo (Jaland Lowe) said, the lineage is winning championships." Oweh is one of the best…...

1+ mon, 2+ week ago (229+ words) The Kentucky Wildcats are once again in the midst of a failing season on the gridiron, and the little patience that UK fans had for head coach Mark Stoops coming into the year is quickly evaporating week by week. It's become clear to many in Lexington that Stoops is simply no longer the answer for a Wildcats' program that desperately wants to take that next step in the SEC pecking order, even if he's been the architect of their resurgence over the past decade or so. RELATED: Attention sports fans in the Bluegrass State: SDS has your guide to Kentucky sportsbook promos so you can get in on the action today!

1+ mon, 3+ week ago (278+ words) The Wildcats' recruiting class took a hit on Thursday morning when they lost a 3-star commitment from the Peach State.

The Kentucky Wildcats lost to the Georgia Bulldogs 35-14 in Week 6 of the 2025 college football season. Less than a week later, an offensive lineman from the Peach State has decided he wants to play somewhere other than Lexington. On Wednesday evening, OL Tyreek Jemison told Hayes Fawcett of Rivals that he was decommitting from Kentucky. Jemison, a Dallas, GA native, first committed to the Wildcats back in June.

1+ mon, 3+ week ago (351+ words) Kentucky radio insider Matt Jones said on Wednesday that he believes the Wildcats football program can afford to pay head coach Mark Stoops a $37 million buyout if Kentucky finishes 3-9 or even 4-8. Right now, the Wildcats are going nowhere in 2025, with the team off to a 2-3 start that includes an ugly 0-3 record in the SEC. A home loss to Ole Miss followed by lopsided road setbacks against South Carolina and Georgia have left Stoops and Kentucky at the bottom of a very good conference, and there are rumors swirling about a possible buyout of Stoops" contract. The 58-year-old Stoops has made this far in Lexington. He"s the longest-tenured head coach in the SEC after taking the Kentucky job in 2013. But after a 10-win season in 2021 and back-to-back winning seasons in 2022 and 2023, the Wildcats limped to a 4-8 record last year and…...

1+ mon, 3+ week ago (155+ words) Kentucky is coming off a 35-14 loss to Georgia in Week 6, and is now 2-3 on the season. The Wildcats are 0-3 in SEC play, and have a brutal two-game home stretch coming up against Texas and Tennessee. On Sunday, multiple reports surfaced that offensive coordinator Bush Hamden was set to be fired in the coming days. However, Kentucky Sports Radio founder Matt Jones refuted that on social media. Not sure where everyone is getting the Bush Hamden being fired but I am told that isn't the case The Wildcats' offense has been struggling this year, outside of the 48-point performance against Eastern Michigan earlier in the season. In the three SEC losses, the Wildcats are averaging only 16.7 points. If there is any positive from the offense, is that freshman quarterback Cutter Boley has shown some potential early in the season. Kentucky is…...

1+ mon, 4+ week ago (288+ words) By Lee Ann Herring-Olvedo All eyes will be on Sanford stadium on Saturday where the No. 12 Georgia Bulldogs (4-1, 1-1) are eager to be back after a heart-wrenching loss to Alabama, falling just short at 24-21. On Saturday, they will host the struggling Kentucky Wildcats (2-2, 0-2 SEC), who also faced disappointment last week with a 35-13 defeat against South Carolina. As for who will win this game, the odds from ESPN's Football Power Index (FPI) heavily lean toward Kirby Smart and his Bulldogs. Per FPI, Georgia has a 90.3% chance of victory at home against the Wildcats. Quarterback Cutter Boley has had his struggles early in the season. During last week's game against South Carolina, he managed only 124 yards on 10-of-19 passing attempts with no touchdowns and two interceptions. Meanwhile, running back Seth McGowan has been a bright spot for the Wildcats, carrying the ball 17 times…...

2+ mon, 2+ day ago (222+ words) Georgia will look to avoid doing something it's only done three times in the Kirby Smart era: lose back-to-back games. After a 24-21 Week 5 loss to Alabama, the Bulldogs will look to get back in the win column. They'll welcome Kentucky to Sanford Stadium in Week 6. And, according to Circa Sports' odds released on Sunday afternoon, the Dawgs have opened as a 20-point favorite. Georgia went on two-game losing streaks twice in Smart's first season in 2016. It didn't lose back-to-back again until 2018, when it lost the SEC Championship Game and the Sugar Bowl a month apart. Meanwhile, Kentucky dropped to 2-2 in its Week 5 game with a 35-13 loss to South Carolina in Columbia. The Wildcats have alternated wins and losses thus far in 2025, opening the season with a win against Toledo before losing to Ole Miss. They then topped Eastern Michigan before…...
