KSR Today: Almost Football

The return of college football is about 36 hours away. Week zero appetizer was a nice appetizer. The main course begins Thursday night. Kentucky football fans have a little longer wait, but we’ve got plenty for you until the first game of the season kicks off at Kroger Field.

Kentucky Football Prediction SZN

It’s that time. The Kentucky Sports Radio used some collective brain power to predict every single game of the 2025 football season. If the majority rules, these Cats will finish 5-7. Only Jacob Polacheck believes Kentucky is in danger of repeating another 4-8 campaign, while a few believe Kentucky will return to postseason play once again.

Zach Calzada: Clark Kent or Superman? BOTH!

The Kentucky quarterback has referred to himself as a game manager. That label is a reminder that he doesn’t have to be a hero for this offense to succeed.

“I gotta be Clark Kent until it’s time to be Superman,” Zach Calzada told KSR on Tuesday. “It might be in game one and it might not be. I’m just playing within the system and doing whatever the team needs me to do.”

Calzada and Seth McGowan made it clear that they aren’t taking Toledo lightly, but are directing the focus on themselves. Do your job the right way, and the rest should take care of itself. The offense spoke on Tuesday. Tonight, we’ll hear from Brad White and the Kentucky defense before Adam Luckett and I preview the Toledo matchup with a game-week edition of 11 Personnel.
