Kentucky travels to Southeastern Conference rival Vanderbilt on Saturday, hoping to become bowl eligible with the eventual goal of becoming the first Wildcat team in school history to make four-consecutive bowl appearances.

The Wildcats are coming off a 37-12 win over intrastate foe Eastern Kentucky in which they captured a school record 18th-straight non-conference victory. The current win streak broke the mark set from 1954-60 of 17 straight wins. Vanderbilt looks to rebound after a 27-3 loss to top-ranked Florida in The Swamp.

Quarterback Morgan Newton threw his first two career touchdowns against EKU while setting career highs with 20 completions on 29 attempts for 187 yards. He was named SEC Freshman of the Week. Tailbacks Moncell Allen, Alfonso Smith and Donald Russell all gained over 60 yards on the ground and scored a rushing touchdown. Russell's 79-yard score marked UK's longest offensive play this season.

UK's defense registered multiple interceptions for the third consecutive game. Free safety Taiedo Smith led the team with a career-high six tackles. Defensive end DeQuin Evans recorded three tackles-for-loss for the second time this season.
