Benefit of opening season on road

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – Opening up the season at home is nice.  You have your crowd, your fans all cheering you on.

Except, what happens when it doesn’t work and there’s a letdown?

The energy quickly evaporates from the atmosphere.  The season is doomed.  That’s the naysayer mindset and it turns out quick following a first game loss.

So perhaps there’s a benefit to opening up on the road?  Especially for the football Cats at Southern Miss this Saturday at 4 ET on the CBS Sports Network.
