LEXINGTON – Courier Journal Kentucky football beat writer Jon Hale picks each game on the Wildcats’ 2020 schedule:

There are legitimate reasons for Kentucky fans to dream of a season-opening upset win at Auburn, but the Tigers’ plethora of impressive offensive playmakers offers a difficult test for a UK team that might not be clicking on all cylinders yet as quarterback Terry Wilson shakes off rust in his first game in more than a year. The fact that depth in UK’s defensive secondary was apparently hit by COVID-19 testing and contact tracing is also concerning.
