TEAM HISTORY

Sitting just below .500 all-time wins, Kentucky’s football team historically has not achieved what its basketball team has achieved. I probably didn’t need to tell you that, but in case you didn’t know, now you do.

Bear Bryant coached there once. As you’d expect, Kentucky claimed the national title for the 1950 season when Bryant was coach, even though they didn’t finish #1 in any major poll. This should be the least surprising thing ever.

SERIES HISTORY

The overall series sits at 28-6-1. We’ve lost only once since our last loss in 1966.

We do things like this to Kentucky:

Last season’s game saw Auburn score 24 unanswered points to overcome a 10-point deficit. It started like any Freeze-led Auburn team, with initial disappointment that leads into a final underwhelming sense that we could do much better and simultaneously much worse.

WHAT TO WATCH

Watch to see if the offense has another 100-yard rusher. If we do, then watch to see if we can crack the 24-point ceiling. Auburn should be able to win every game if the offense can break the 24-point mark because the defense has only given up 24 points 2 times all season.

PREDICTION

I can’t pick us to lose. I can’t because I don’t want to.

Auburn 28, Kentucky 17
