Kentucky visits Austin today to take on the Texas Longhorns for only the second time ever. The only meeting between the Wildcats and UT was in 1951. Also in Austin, the Longhorns beat Kentucky that day 7-6. We’re guessing today’s game will be a little bit higher scoring.
The Wildcats are led by Junior QB Brock Vandagriff. The Georgia transfer has passed for 1,542 yards this year with nine touchdowns. Texas QB Quinn Ewers has 1,898 yards and 21 TDs.
Kentucky is coached by Mark Stoops, the younger brother of former Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops.

It is Senior Day and a classic trap game before one of the biggest games in recent Longhorns history. But Texas can’t overlook Kentucky, who have upset one of the SEC’s best teams in Ole Miss and came within a point of taking down Georgia as well. Texas has been more solid at home in the second half of the season than on the road. The Horns should take care of business and shake off the Wildcats in the second half.
Prediction: Texas 35, Kentucky 17
