Will Kentucky finally make a bowl this year?

The answer is no. They will be lucky to win 3 of their non conference games, and the only possible SEC win for them is Vandy, and even that's not a given.
Stoops shouldn't be able to survive a 4-8 season after his abysmal tenure so far. But it's Kentucky so who knows, they'll probably give him an extension if he keeps it close against Louisville.
Here's their schedule, which is tough as always because it's Kentucky and any game they play will be hard.
Southern Miss
@Florida
New Mexico State
South Carolina
@Alabama
Vanderbilt
Mississippi State
@Missouri
Georgia
@Tennessee
Austin Peay
@Louisville
I see maybe 4 wins, gonna be a struggle though.

Yes. I think they will.

They SHOULD win 7 games with that schedule.

It really comes down to what the new coaches at Mizzou and USCe do, in my opinion.
Southern Miss - W

Austin Peay - W
@Louisville - L
I see 6 most likely losses on the schedule so they have to win both those games. Definitely doable if those coaches don't turn around two programs that were going the wrong direction quickly last year.

Southern Miss is often a pretty good team that can give fits to lower level SEC teams. They scored 28 last year in a close game with Nebraska. New Mexico State and Austin Peay are two of the worst teams...ever, so those are gimmies.

Aren't you moving to Lexington??

Another football pre-season, another Stonehog thread about UK.

They have done a good job recruiting. I'm surprised it hasn't shown up on the field.
Might be coaching?

absolutely not. They'll be battling for not last in the east

I would say there is a decent chance UK is bowl eligible this year. If they aren't... well then Kentucky gets a new Head Coach, or most certainly should get a new HC.
Stoops has stockpiled some talent but this should be a bowl or bust year for him.

Beginning your obsession with UK early this year. Well done.

Obvious answer, who cares

Stoops has his players. Should have five or six wins heading into Louisville finale. Mizzou, vandy, USC are winnable you would think given the rebuilding going on. Beat the cupcakes and viola, bowl game. In stoops defense Kentucky is just a tough football job.

I think they get 6 wins out of that schedule. 7 if they pull off a big upset
