What there is to know
The Kentucky Wildcats will stay at home one more week and host the Northern Illinois Huskies at 19 p.m. ET on September 24 at Kroger Field. UK should still be riding high after a big win, while the Huskies look to right the ship.
The UK got on the board against the Youngstown State Penguins last week, but Youngstown State never followed suit. The UK was the clear winner by a margin of 31 to nothing over Youngstown State. The contest was pretty much decided at halftime, when the score had already reached 21-377. British QB Will Levis threw it as he passed for two touchdowns and 35 yards on XNUMX attempts in addition to hitting a rushing touchdown.
Meanwhile, the Huskies fell short against the Vanderbilt Commodores last week, losing 38-28. WR Cole Tucker put up a good effort for the losing team catching four passes for two touchdowns and 88 yards. Near the top of the highlight reel was Ethan Hampton's 70-yard TD bomb to Tucker in the third quarter.
The Wildcats are the favorites in this one, with an expected margin of victory of 26,5 points. They've been consistent moneymakers against the spread when favored (2-0), so they might be worth a quick bet.
The United Kingdom's win took them to 3-0 while the Huskies' loss brought them down to 1-2. Two defensive stats to keep in mind as you watch: UK have yet to allow a single passing touchdown. As for NIU, they rank 30th in the nation in rushing touchdowns allowed, with just two on the season.
