'CATS WIN ONE FOR JERRY
KENTUCKY 1
i GEORGIA
Unlike on the previous two occasions, this time Kentucky coach Jerry Claiborne was able to run off the field with his head held high, after his 'Cats upset No. 11 Georgia 16-10. The victory marked the first-ever win for Claiborne over Georgia's Vince Dooley. And not since 1977 had Kentucky defeated the Bulldogs in this annual conference battle. Kentucky will enter Saturday's game with Division 1-AA Southern Illinois with a 3-4 mark, 1-3 in Southeastern Conference play. Southern Illinois is coming off a 10-9 loss at the hands of rival Northern Illinois. Southern Illinois, 4-3, and Kentucky will kickoff their evening affair at 7:30 p.m at Commonwealth Stadium. After Saturday's game, the Wildcats have only three battles remaining on their schedule. On Nov. 5 Claiborne's squad will entertain Eric Jones and his Vanderbilt Commodores. Kickoff has been moved to 7:30 p.m. Next, will be the 'Cats' final home game of the season, as Galen Hall's Florida Gators come to Lexington for an afternoon visit. And the regular season finale will take place in Knoxville, (Nov. 19) against the struggling Tennessee Volunteers. Many experts believe the 'Cats have a golden opportunity to win their final four games, thus finishing with a 7-4 record. However, don't mention 'bowls' around Claiborne. All he's concerned with right now is a showdown with Southern Illinois. Please see pages 12-13 for more on last Saturday's upset special.
