Kentucky takes a beating from Alabama: 4 things to know and postgame banter

The Kentucky Wildcats fell to 3-5 on the season after losing to Alabama 63-3 on Saturday. The Cats showed some promise early, moving the ball on the Crimson Tide almost at will. However, that did not translate to points and Alabama capitalized on all of Kentucky’s many mistakes to get the blow away victory.

Per the usual, Kentucky convincingly won the time of possession battle through the first three quarters (before Bama started graciously running out the clock). But looking at the box score, that is almost the only category where the Cats were competitive. A litany of mistakes, missing several top players, and abandoning a solid game plan all led to the Wildcats looking as if they did not belong on the same field as Bama.
