Will Stein leads Kentucky to victory in debut against Youngstown State

Kentucky Football secured a 45-13 victory over Youngstown State in the head coaching debut for Will Stein.

True freshmen receivers Kenny Darby and Prince Jean both recorded touchdowns in the win. The game held significant emotional weight as the program honored Nic Smith and featured Stein’s father as the honorary captain. Looking forward, the team prepares for a scheduled matchup against Alabama. Stein expressed frustration with the team's offensive tempo during specific segments of the first half, emphasizing that he demands a higher standard of execution regardless of the external conditions or in-game circumstances.
