When most people think of the Kentucky Wildcats, they think of a blueblood basketball program.

Well, this year Wildcats’ football team is undefeated at 6-0 and heads to Athens, Ga., on Saturday to face the No. 1 ranked Georgia Bulldogs. If the Wildcats beat the Dawgs, it would go down as one of the biggest wins in school history.

Nick Roush of Kentucky Sports Radio joins host On3 Senior Recruiting Editor Jeremy Crabtree on the Over the Middle podcast to tell us more about one of the biggest transformations in college football.
