Alabama Will Be Routed in Massive Upset, Simulation Says
The Alabama Crimson Tide is playing an opponent they've traditionally dominated on Saturday, but some think they'll lose by a lot.
Alabama Crimson Tide, a historical powerhouse in college football, faces Kentucky Wildcats in an early-season SEC matchup this Saturday. The Tide, favored by ten points, is aiming to avoid an upset, as Kentucky hasn't beaten them since 1997. This win would be the third for Kentucky, with the previous victories coming in 1922 and 1997.
The simulation from Yahoo Sports, using College Football 27, predicts a massive upset, with Kentucky scoring 42 points - the most they've ever scored against Alabama. This would be historic, as Kentucky's previous highest score against the Tide was 27 in 1988. Kentucky's defense, including preseason All-American safety Bray Hubbard and star pass rusher Yhonzae Pierre, could make it difficult for the Tide to score.
Head coach Will Stein is banking on his fans to create a wild, intimidating environment, urging them to arrive early, stand up, and scream obscenities at the Tide. He believes this kind of fan support could disrupt the Alabama offense and confuse first-year starter Keelon Russell.
