Look: No. 8 Kentucky Rocking Familiar Look on Saturday Night Against NIU

It's back to blue and white for the Wildcats on Saturday

The No. 8 Kentucky Wildcats will sport a familiar look on Saturday night, as they welcome the Northern Illinois Huskies to Kroger Field. 

Defensive lineman Octavious Oxendine is pictured wearing a blue helmet, blue jersey and white pants: 

Kentucky has worn this combination twice this season, first in its 37-13 win over Miami (OH) to open the season, then again last weekend in its 31-0 shutout of Youngstown State. 

The UK football twitter account released a hype video for Saturday's contest, which you can find here.

Kickoff between the 3-0 Wildcats and the 1-2 Huskies is set for 7 p.m. EST.
