Comments
This is one of the better matchups of the weekend. Two very different teams meet in Lexington. Kentucky can improve to 4-0 in the SEC with a win. LSU is fighting to stay above .500 in its overall record. Kentucky’s not flashy, they don’t have a bunch of speedster 5-star players but they have tough players and strong offensive and defensive lines. Kentucky is on a roll right now while LSU is realizing that the 2019 national title (one they may lose) is a distant memory.
