The Southeastern Conference revealed its seven opening weekend football games on Monday, and Auburn must be furious.
The Tigers got absolutely hosed when the SEC announced Kentucky as Auburn’s opponent in Jordan-Hare Stadium for the season opener. Auburn has known for six years that it would have to play Kentucky in 2020, but today the game was moved from October 3 (Week 5) to the first game of the season, in place of Alcorn State.
For Auburn, this means lining up with one of the league’s most experienced teams with little time to prepare. Kentucky’s locker room is full of familiar faces, like at quarterback and on the offensive line, where UK is strongest.
