For those who were around that 10-7 victory over Tennessee has faded into memory.
There have been 17 straight league losses since the win, a frustrating string of close and lopsided defeats sandwiched around a coaching change. But the Wildcats believe they're close to putting an end to the streak.
They were oh-so-close against Florida, the triple-overtime loss at Florida two weeks ago has stoked Kentucky's hunger to finally seal the deal Saturday against Vanderbilt (1-3, 0-2). The Wildcats (2-1, 0-1) enter as 17-point favorites, a rare scenario that speaks volumes about the programs' differing fortunes but doesn't have Kentucky players thinking ahead.
