Kentucky hosts Alabama at Kroger Field for SEC opener

Kentucky hosts the 12th-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide at Kroger Field today in the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. ET with the game broadcast on ABC. Kentucky enters the matchup following a 45-13 victory over Youngstown State in the debut of head coach Will Stein. Alabama comes to Lexington after a 48-10 win against East Carolina in Week 1. Kentucky defense plans rely on slowing down Alabama quarterback Keelon Russell and forcing turnovers to remain competitive. This marks the first major SEC test for Stein as head coach while Alabama looks to continue momentum from its season-opening performance.
