2016 Kentucky Season Preview
The 2015 Kentucky Wildcats football team finished the season with 5 wins and 7 losses for the second consecutive year. Mark Stoops will be leading the team for his fourth year and is striving for the Wildcats' first bowl showing since 2010. As Kentucky enters the 2016 season the offense looks promising with the most returning starters in the SEC. The offensive line will be anchored by senior center Jon Thoth, with Drew Barker predicted to join him as the favorite for starting quarterback once the 2016 football season starts. The biggest question mark for Kentucky coming into 2016 will be on defense with a young team taking on that side of the ball. The SEC schedule is never easy but crucial games from the Wildcats 2016 schedule will be at home against South Carolina, Vanderbilt and Mississippi State.
