On Senior Day in 2023, No. 8 Alabama rolled into Kroger Field as an 11-point road favorite against Kentucky. The Crimson Tide rolled to a 49-21 victory on that November Saturday afternoon in Nick Saban‘s final season in college football. That was third consecutive non-cover for UK against ranked foes.
We’ve seen the Cats hit another gear since that game. Over the last 23 months, UK has faced eight ranked teams. Mark Stoops has led his team to pair of outright upsets against top-10 foes but has also created a ton of good games.
