Overview
- Kickoff is Saturday at 6:30 p.m. CT at Jordan–Hare Stadium with TV coverage on the SEC Network.
- Hugh Freeze has an open quarterback competition, and Kentucky’s Mark Stoops said he is preparing for both Jackson Arnold and Ashton Daniels with no major scheme change expected.
- Stoops highlighted Auburn’s defense as very physical, noting the Tigers rank sixth in the SEC in total defense, top five in scoring defense and top two against the run.
- Kentucky is 2-5 overall and 0-5 in SEC play, with QB Cutter Boley at 66.5% passing for 1,215 yards and nine TDs, RB Seth McGowan leading with 476 rushing yards and seven TDs, and Kendrick Law topping receivers at 302 yards.
- Auburn is coming off a 33-24 win at Arkansas with 230 rushing yards and enters as a double-digit favorite, and most outlets still project the Tigers to a bowl with a win putting them one victory from eligibility.
