What's Next for Kentucky Football: Open Week, Then Tennessee at Neyland on Nov. 7

Vanderbilt is handled. Kentucky beat the Commodores 34-17 at Kroger Field on Saturday night, and our full breakdown is in the BBT final. That's six straight wins, a 7-1 record, a 5-1 mark in SEC play and first place in the SEC, per ESPN's SEC standings.

Next up: the open week. The Cats don't play Saturday, Oct. 31. Then it's a trip to Neyland Stadium to face Tennessee (6-2) on Saturday, Nov. 7. Kickoff time and TV haven't been set yet, per ESPN's Kentucky schedule. We'll update this page when they are.

After Knoxville, Kentucky hosts Florida on Nov. 14, goes to Missouri on Nov. 21 and closes at home against Louisville on Nov. 28. Four games left, and the Cats control their own path.

Our Take: A bye week at 7-1 is a good problem to have. Get healthy, get rested and get ready, because Rocky Top in November is the kind of game that defines a season. GO CATS.
