How will you define this season a success?
Winning Game One
While this might sound like a very basic answer, I think that getting off to a good start this season is more important than ever. The Cats cannot afford a slip up in week one, even if that means escaping with a three point win. On paper, Kentucky is much better than Southern Miss and while they shouldn't play with the mentality that they are better, it is something that needs to be preached. A big win is a key week one.Beat Florida
Do I really need to say anything else? It has been too long. There really isn't anything else to say.Win Eight Games
It has been 10 years since the Cats have been able to pull this off and I think that this season is their best shot yet. If you look at the schedule below, unlike most years, there isn't a game that you can immediately rack up a loss. Does this mean I am saying that they can go undefeated? No, but eight wins is more than possible.Beat Louisville

This should be a given goal for Mark Stoops and company. A bowl, like the Tax Slayer Bowl, should be a goal every season, but soon enough we could start looking at other top-tier bowl games. A trip back to Jacksonville or to Nashville for the Music City Bowl would bode well for me. So there you have it, there are the five keys to a successful season for me. Go ahead and let me know how wrong I am in the comments section below or on Twitter @GormleyKSR. In the meantime, I will leave you with a simple question, how many WINS does Kentucky need for you to consider this season a success?How many wins does UK Football need this year for you to classify this season as a success?
