On Saturday afternoon, Kentucky lost to Alabama. The good news was that this wasn’t one of those “the sky is falling, Kentucky is screwed beyond belief, just go ahead and cancel the rest of the season” kind of losses. Instead, it was more one of those “Kentucky is everyone’s Super Bowl, if they don’t come to play every single night on the road, they can get beat,” games instead.
No, the Alabama loss isn’t about doom-and-gloom, but it did once again spotlight some weaknesses for the Wildcats that seem to show up every now and again. For one, Reid Travis can at times struggle against other team’s length down low, and it happened again this weekend.
