Stein's Wildcats Face Tough Early Tests | Kentucky Wildcats Football News

Kentucky football’s future is here, with Will Stein taking the reins after 13 seasons under Mark Stoops. Known for his offensive flair, Stein kicks off his tenure against Youngstown State before facing a brutal early schedule — Alabama, Texas A&M, South Carolina, and LSU (now coached by Lane Kiffin). The Wildcats get a brief reprieve at home against South Alabama, then tackle SEC powerhouses Oklahoma, Tennessee, and Florida — the latter featuring a homecoming for former coach Jon Sumrall. The season ends with Missouri and a high-stakes, emotionally charged rivalry clash against Louisville, where Stein’s personal history adds weight. Expect a challenging campaign: five wins, seven losses. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
