What to Know

The Kentucky Wildcats and the Miami (OH) RedHawks will face off at 7 p.m. ET Sept. 3 at Kroger Field to kick off their 2022 seasons. UK ended up 10-3 last season and capped things off with a win over the Iowa Hawkeyes in the Citrus Bowl, so they are on the hunt for another strong season. Meanwhile, Miami (OH) was on the positive side of .500 (7-6) last season and is hoping to kick off an even more successful year.

A couple last-season offensive stats to keep an eye on: The Wildcats were 29th best in the nation (top 11%) in overall offensive touchdowns, finishing the 2021 season with 51. The RedHawks displayed some offensive firepower of their own as they ranked 18th in the nation in passing touchdowns, closing the year with 32 overall (top 7%).

UK has the odds in their favor, so they’ll need to guard against complacency. These early season matchups can go either way as both teams get back into playing shape.
