KSR Gameday: Kentucky Hosts EKU at Kroger Field

The Kentucky Wildcats return to Kroger Field Saturday afternoon to host their neighbors from Richmond. Walt Wells and the Eastern Kentucky Colonels will make the short drive up I-75 for an intrastate matchup that kicks off at 3 pm EST.

The Colonels hope this trip up I-75 works out better than the last. EKU kicked off the season with a 66-13 loss to Cincinnati. The Bearcats rolled up 650+ yards of offense and held EKU to just 3-of-11 on third down. It was an ugly affair that highlighted the Colonels’ porous pass defense, something Devin Leary and Liam Coen will try to exploit this afternoon.
