Today is a huge day in the Bluegrass, as the Kentucky Wildcats host the Alabama Crimson Tide in a big-time matchup at Kroger Field.
Will Stein faces his first major test as head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats, as the 12th-ranked Crimson Tide come to Lexington.
An amped-up crowd is expected to fill Kroger Field today, as the Wildcats look to pull off the upset and earn a massive momentum swing in the early part of the season.
The Wildcats are coming off an impressive win in Stein’s debut as head coach,
defeating Youngstown State 45-13, while the Crimson Tide also had a strong showing in Week 1, defeating East Carolina 48-10.
Today is a major opportunity for Kentucky to take a leap forward in front of a hyped-up crowd and what is expected to be a large national audience, with the game kicking off at 3:30 this afternoon on ABC.
