The Kentucky defense gave up 49 points and 444 total yards against No. 8 Alabama, the Tide earning 17.8 yards per completion and 6.9 yards per play in the 28-point route. A perfect 5-5 in the red zone with seven touchdowns, 7-11 on third down, essentially zero pushback from the opening kick. Par for the course this season against opposing offenses with a pulse.
And though the offense found the end zone three times — something just two other teams have done this season (Texas and LSU) — Liam Coen’s unit didn’t do the Wildcats any real situational favors in the loss.
