At the buzzer: Kentucky football suffers 49-21 defeat in home finale against No. 8 Alabama

Kentucky football (6-4) suffered a 49-21 defeat against No. 8 Alabama on Saturday, ending the home slate for the Wildcats.

The Wildcats entered the game on the back of a 24-3 win away at Mississippi State, which snapped the “Starkville streak” for the Cats and head coach Mark Stoops.
