Kentucky's recent stage fright at LSU hasn't changed players' belief that they can handle the national spotlight.

The Wildcats just want to make sure they perform better against top-ranked Mississippi State in Saturday's nationally televised homecoming showdown.

After six games of doing many things right, Kentucky (5-2, 2-2 Southeastern Conference) regressed during a 41-3 blowout loss to the Tigers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The Wildcats now aim to regain the execution and poise that helped them play well in previous matchups against the SEC's stronger teams.

The Wildcats led twice at Florida before losing 36-30 to the Gators in three overtimes, gaining resolve they believe helped them rally twice from 14-point deficits to upset South Carolina

Kentucky's challenge is regrouping from the LSU setback against the Bulldogs (6-0, 3-0).
