Last Season

The 2021 season for the Kentucky Wildcats went much better than expected, as the team finished the year with a 10-3 record. All three of those losses did come in SEC action, and that kept them from being in the mix for a conference title.

Kentucky did win their final four games of the year, including a win over Iowa in the Citrus Bowl.

Wildcats Key Losses Heading into 2022

The biggest losses for the Kentucky Wildcats on the offensive side of the ball come at the wide receiver position. This is a team that is going to have to improve offensively, and losing two playmakers isn’t going to help.

Wan’Dale Robinson had 104 catches a season ago, but he will now be playing on Sundays in the NFL. Josh Ali has also moved on, taking away another option.

The defense is also going to take a hit this year as defensive end Josh Paschal has graduated. The team could be without ten starters from a season ago, and that will have an impact.

2022 Kentucky Wildcats Team Preview

Mark Stoops has done a terrific job at the University of Kentucky, and he now has his team ready to compete on a year-to-year basis. Kentucky doesn’t have as many NFL players as some other schools, but they will have more than enough talent to be successful.

The offense should have another big year behind quarterback Will Levis, and he could be a Heisman Trophy candidate. The defense was dominant in 2021 as well, and that group should be able to apply pressure throughout the year.

2022 Kentucky Football Schedule

The 2022 non-conference schedule for the Kentucky Wildcats could be one that leads to plenty of wins. The toughest test in the non conference will come in the season finale as the Wildcats take on the Louisville Cardinals.

Kentucky won’t be able to avoid tough teams in the SEC as this league will once again be the best in college football. The Wildcats do play Georgia at home but will be on the road at Ole Miss and Tennessee.

2022 Wildcats Regular Season Win Total Prediction

Most of the talk surrounding the SEC is about Alabama and Georgia, but Kentucky is not a team to overlook. This team is good enough to contend with every team in the SEC, and they won’t have much trouble against a number of teams on the schedule.

Kentucky is winning at least eight games, but they have the potential to get close to double digits.
