The 6-foot-7, 255-pound quarterback will start Saturday for Western Kentucky against the Crimson Tide at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Finley faced the Tide once at Louisiana State University in 2020 and twice at Auburn University in 2021 and 2022.
He suffered a loss in all three meetings. Finley did not have success at LSU and Auburn, but he turned in marquee production at Texas State in 2023.
