Kentucky has allowed 83 points through 7 games.
I wondered how long it had been since they'd done that well, and found...
2007-4 games, 93 points.
2006-4 games, 86 points.
2005-3 games, 98 points.
2004-4 games, 108 points.
2003-4 games, 90 points.
2002-5 games, 114 points.
2001-3 games, 100 points.
2000-3 games, 83 points.
1999-3 games, 105 points.
1998-4 games, 119 points.
1997-4 games, 121 points.
and I finally got tired of typing all these out, so I'll skip ahead. The last time the Wildcats allowed fewer points through 7 games was 1977. The stingy '77 UK squad only gave up 81 points through the first 8 games.
That team's 111 points through 11 games will be tough to equal. Florida will likely put the kibosh on that goal in just a few days.
A couple other years of note
1994- 2 games, 87 points and 3 games, 146 points.
Combined 1949 and 1950 teams, 24 games, 143 points.
Does that make anybody besides me wonder how different UK football history would be if Rupp hadn't chased Bear Bryant off the campus?
