How to watch the Kentucky vs. Southern Miss football game

The Kentucky Wildcats will open their 2024 season at home against the Southern Miss Golden Eagles. Kentucky is a 28-point favorite in this game, but Southern Miss is a team that has given the Wildcats trouble beating in the past in 2016. This is a much worse Southern Miss team than it was then, and a much better Kentucky team as well, so many aren’t worried about this week one matchup or the Wildcats.

This matchup with Southern Miss will be the first opportunity for Kentucky fans to see Brock Vandagriff throw the football in a Kentucky uniform. This game is the Wildcats’ only easier matchup before the schedule gets tougher, as the Wildcats play South Carolina and Georgia at home over the next two weeks.

Last season, the Wildcats had a lot of preseason games before the schedule became more demanding, but this season coach Mark Stoops and his team cannot afford that luxury.

Kentucky fans have to hope that this game against Southern Miss is far from close and that the Wildcats can dominate from start to finish. If Kentucky can win this game and the matchup against South Carolina, there is a slim chance that College GameDay will be in Lexington for the matchup against #1 Georgia.
