Now we get to see just how well the University of Kentucky football team handles success, something that's not an everyday occurrence in the Commonwealth. After last Saturday's victory over arch-rival Louisville, UK Football has a nice little buzz about it. However, the Arkansas Razorbacks are eager to knock these good vibes out.

In an interesting twist, the ranked team in this match-up is not Arkansas. On Monday, UK found itself ranked 21st in country, the first time the football team has been ranked since 1984. The Hogs, on the other hand, found themselves outside of the Top-25 following their 38-34 loss to Nick Saban's Alabama rebuilding project -- a fact that undoubtedly fuels the Razorback fire as the Cats come to town.
On the surface, this match-up will probably be billed as Darren McFadden, the do-anything-and-everything running back for Arkansas against André Woodson... and this isn't necessarily wrong. If either team wants to succeed, their stars are going to have to play big. However, from a UK fan's perspective, the match-up I'm focusing on is the how UK defense does against McFadden, the deserved Heisman favorite.
