Comments
The marquee basketball SEC school takes on the marquee SEC football program. But this is football, not round ball. Kentucky has been way below expectations this season. Meanwhile, the Crimson Tide is about where we expected. An explosive offense, decent defense and 6-0. I think Kentucky will put up a decent fight but Bama wins by double-digits.
