The Wildcats should be slightly improved in 2014, but it won’t be by much.
Second year coach Mark Stoops has several areas of concern he’ll be addressing this fall.
Kentucky, much like Tennessee, has a quarterback battle on their hands.
The job will likely belong to either sophomore Patrick Towles or true freshman Drew Barker.
Whoever wins the job will be stepping into a less than ideal situation.
Kentucky is on their way to being a better football program, but with an influx of youth, it will be a couple of years before they get past the four win threshold.
