The 1967 Kentucky Wildcats football team were an American football team that represented the University of Kentucky as a member of the Southeastern Conference during the 1967 NCAA University Division football season. In their sixth season under head coach Charlie Bradshaw, the team compiled a 2–8 record (1–6 in the SEC).[1]
On September 30, Kentucky running back Nathaniel "Nate" Northington became the first African-American scholarship athlete to play in an Southeastern Conference game in the Wildcats' home game against Ole Miss.[2][a] His debut was bittersweet as it came the day after the death of Greg Page, an African-American defensive end who had arrived at UK alongside Northington. Page died from complications of a paralyzing spinal cord injury suffered in an August 22 practice.[4] Northington only played for three minutes before suffering a separated shoulder, and the Wildcats would lose 26–13.[4]
