USA Today breaks down Kentucky football’s 2023 schedule

Jim Brown of USA Today Sports has an early breakdown of Kentucky football’s 2023 schedule.

Here’s a look at the 2023 schedule:

Here’s an excerpt from the article:

Kentucky Football Schedule What To Know: What does it all really mean?
Overall, though, this isn’t that bad a schedule.

Going to Georgia is obviously a bear, but Florida, Tennessee, and Alabama are all in Lexington. That, and it helps that the team isn’t exactly extending itself in non-conference play.

It gets that rivalry game against Louisville, but it starts the season against Ball State, Eastern Kentucky, and Akron.

Those should be three layups before going to Vanderbilt. Roll through that, and then it’s about the home game against Florida. Get to 5-0 and that makes that brutal second half of the slate a tad nicer.
