Kirk Herbstreit has big-time praise for Kentucky after win over Mississippi State
The Kentucky Wildcats picked up perhaps the win of the week in the SEC, beating Mississippi State 28-7 on Saturday night in Lexington.
Behind a four-touchdown effort from star RB Benny Snell Jr., the Wildcats looked dominant, improving to 4-0 on the season.
After the game, ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit said he thinks the Wildcats should shoot up in the AP Poll rankings this week:
Congrats to @UKCoachStoops and @UKFootball on an impressive and dominating performance against Mississippi St. Cats taken names and a team that needs to be ranked in the teens this week.

Indeed, the Cats will probably make an appearance in this week’s Poll, but Herbie thinks it should be in the teens, not just at the bottom.
We’ll find out soon, as the poll is due to be released on Sunday afternoon. There’s a good chance Herbie’s prediction comes true.
