There has to be some rule about playing games with so many days rest.

No matter the schedule, the sec schedule will always be brutal, and actually imo the sec power teams of old are down some, but that wont happen long therefore getting 6 wins will always be tough.

That's true GB!

Not a bad sec schedule - very manageable. Will play only 4-5 ranked teams.

bb12, we are almost in the top 25 which hasn't happened for a long time. Go Cats

I count eight home games. That can't be right!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 10-15-2014, 02:36 PM:

TT, It's right and the last time we had 8 home games was in 2007.

Here are some other interesting notes about the 2015 schedule. I can see a "very" good season for the Cats next season if we continue to get recruits like have had the past few years plus those 8 home games in front of a completely sold out Commonwealth Stadium.

•UK has eight home games in 2015, the most in a single season since UK also had eight in 2007.
•It will be Kentucky’s first-ever meeting against UL Lafayette and Charlotte. Charlotte is currently a FCS Independent school, but will play its first season as an FBS team (Conference USA) in the fall of 2015.
•For the second consecutive season, the UK-UofL game will be on the final weekend of the regular season. Prior to 2014, the UK-UofL game had been played early in the season since the series renewed in 1994. The 2015 game will be the 22nd straight year the two rivals have met.
•Kentucky and Tennessee will face off in the month of October for the first time since 1909. It will only be the fourth time in UK’s 125-year history it has faced Tennessee in the month of October.
•It will mark the 111th all-time meeting between Kentucky and Tennessee, the most for UK vs. any one opponent. The two teams have met annually since 1919, except for 1943, when Kentucky did not field a team.
•Kentucky will start SEC play against South Carolina for the first time in program history. UK had opened SEC play each of the past six seasons against Florida.
•The Wildcats will have a four-game home stretch from Sept. 19 to Oct. 15, marking the longest home stand since the 2001 team started the season with four straight home games.
•UK’s open date will be Saturday, Oct. 10. UK has had two open dates each of the past two years.
•Kentucky’s game against Auburn will be on Thursday, Oct. 15. It will be the first Thursday home game in program history. UK has played several Thursday road games over the past few seasons (2007 at South Carolina; 2011 vs. WKU in Nashville, Tenn.; 2013 at Mississippi State).
•It will be Kentucky’s first meeting against Auburn since the Tigers’ National Championship season in 2010.
•UK’s permanent SEC West opponent, Mississippi State is on the schedule for the 26th straight season.
•Kentucky and EKU will meet for the first time since 2009. UK leads the series 3-0.
•UK ends the regular season with consecutive non-conference games for the first time since it entered the SEC in 1933.
