The Kentucky Wildcats are all set to host the Youngstown State Penguins in their first encounter of the season. Kentucky is 2-0 for the season, representing the Southeastern Conference (East). Similarly, Youngstown won their game last weekend against the Dayton Flyers. Both teams are now 2-0 coming into this game.
The Wildcats are confident about this fixture as they have performed quite effectively so far. However, they would like their offense to click a little more than they did in the previous games. Kentucky wide receiver Dane Key and defensive back Keidron Smith were among the scorers. The highlight of the game was a 55-yard touchdown; a pass made by Dane. Kentucky will look to better themselves on offense today.

The Penguins have also started their campaign on a very positive note. They won their last game by 49-16, quite a handsome margin. Demeatric Crenshaw was clearly the MVP of the game, securing 230 yards and 5 TDs. He was just unstoppable that night. Their wide receiver, Bryce Oliver, also had 2 TDs to his name. Although Youngstown is a non-FBS team, they are showing their potential. It would be great to see how they fare against the Wildcats.
