2011 Kentucky Wildcats football team 2011 University of Kentucky football season
The 2011 Kentucky Wildcats Football Team represented the University of Kentucky in the college football season of 2011–2012 . The team, led by second-year head coach Joker Phillips , played their home games at Commonwealth Stadium, now known as Kroger Field , in Lexington , Kentucky , and competed in the Eastern Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC).
While the Wildcats ended the season at 5–7 and missed out what would have been their sixth consecutive bowl appearance, they finished on a high. The Wildcats' season-ending 10–7 victory over Tennessee , their first over the Volunteers since 1984, ended what was then the longest current losing streak against an annual opponent in FBS at 26.
