Good morning, folks! We’re halfway to another Kentucky football gameday — and this one will be the first real test of the Will Stein era. No. 12 Alabama comes to Kroger Field on Saturday. SEC Nation will be in Lexington to cover it all.

Kalen DeBoer hasn’t coached against CJ Baxter for three years. The last time was when DeBoer was coaching Washington, and Baxter was playing for Texas. That was 2023 in the semifinal round of the College Football Playoff.

But traveling to Lexington for an SEC road game against Kentucky is a completely different challenge, especially with a young quarterback making his first road start. Alabama is currently favored by around 10 points.

The first massive game of the Will Stein era is here and the Kentucky head coach wants Kroger Field rocking.
