Kentucky Wildcats News: UK Football beats Texas A&M and Louisville Volleyball Gameday
The Cats get the first signature win of the Will Stein era and UK Volleyball has a huge matchup this afternoon
On September 19, 2026, the Kentucky Wildcats' football team secured a significant victory against the 9th-ranked Texas A&M Aggies, defeating them 31-21 at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas. Head coach Will Stein's team demonstrated a remarkable turnaround from their previous performance against Alabama, where they struggled in the second half. However, yesterday, the Cats showcased a strong third-quarter performance that outscored the Aggies 21-0 and outgained them 196-20.
Kentucky's defense played a crucial role in the game, making key plays early on to keep the Aggies off the scoreboard until late in the first half. The Cats responded with a touchdown with just under two minutes remaining in the half, leading 7-7 when the game went to halftime. In the second half, the Wildcats continued their dominance, outplaying the Aggies dramatically, ultimately winning the game convincingly.
This win marks a strong start for the Will Stein era for Kentucky football, as the Cats now have a chance to climb to 3-1 with a victory against South Alabama the following week. Additionally, on the volleyball front, the 4th-ranked UK Wildcats will face off against the 3rd-ranked Louisville Cardinals, a rivalry matchup that will take place at Historic Memorial Coliseum in Lexington, Kentucky, today at 3 p.m. ET.
This is a significant game for the Wildcats, especially as they aim to recover from a recent loss to SMU in the Bahamas. The match is expected to draw a large crowd, with tickets sold out, and will be broadcast on ABC.
