Kentucky started its season with a disastrous loss to Southern Miss in which a squandered a 25-point lead, then followed with a 45-7 loss at Florida. The Wildcats have shown some signs of life in winning their last two, and that’s about all they will have to do to cover at Alabama on Saturday. A porous defense allowed just 268 yards last week in a win over South Carolina. The Tide aren’t usually inclined to run it up against an inferior opponent, as they scored just seven in the second half of last week’s 48-0 win over Ken t State.
