Come get your Kentucky vs. Southern Miss hype video!

Jack PIlgrimby:Jack Pilgrim08/30/24

It’s time, folks. At long last, Kentucky football is here, starting with the season opener vs. Southern Miss on Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for 7:45 p.m. ET on SEC Network, the start of year 12 for Mark Stoops in Lexington.

The Cats hold firm as 27-point favorites at Kroger Field, a chance to open the season with a bang against a program that has given Kentucky fits over the years. And with a schedule this tough, you can’t really afford slip-ups in the games you’ve got to win. This one is included in that category.

Need something to help calm your nerves in the 24 hours-plus leading up to kickoff? The Kentucky video team has you covered with the very first hype video of the season.

UK star cornerback Maxwell Hairston narrates the minute-long clip, breaking down the 246 days it’s been since we’ve seen the Wildcats suit up.

“It hasn’t been a full year, but a lot has changed. One thing has stayed the same: you, Big Blue Nation,” he said. “You’ve been patiently waiting to hear those six words, and after all this time, the wait is finally over. It’s football time in the Bluegrass.”

Indeed it is. We’ll see you at Kroger Field.
