The warm up is over, and Kentucky football goes from a week one matchup against an FCS team to one of the best programs in the country in week two. Today, the Wildcats take on Alabama in coach Will Stein's first big test since taking the head coaching job.
The Kentucky offense is talented, and has the potential to put up some points in the game. Quarterback Kenny Minchey had a great debut last week, and the offensive line was as good as advertised, opening up big run lanes for the trio of Wildcats running backs.
For the Cats, though, the game will come down to how well the defense plays. They struggled to rush the passer last time out, and gave up some big plays. Against a team like Alabama, those plays turn into points.
