Just when Kentucky football fans thought they were at their lowest after two consecutive losses, to Vanderbilt and the Florida Gators, the Wildcats dropped a third straight, this one to the Auburn Tigers. Auburn hadn’t won an SEC game this season, but came out on top 24 – 10.
The Kentucky defense didn’t have its best showing, and gave up 328 rushing yards, but it was the offense that, once again, couldn’t get going. They managed just 224 total yards and 10 points.

The loss almost certainly ended Kentucky’s hopes at making a ninth straight bowl appearance. At 3 – 5, they would have to win three of their last four games, and they have the Tennessee Volunteers and Texas Longhorns both still to play.
