Will Stein defends Kenny Minchey after struggles vs. Alabama

Kentucky was hoping to pull off an upset against No. 12 Alabama on Saturday at Kroger Field, but those hopes fell short after the Crimson Tide took the lead in the third quarter and held it for the remainder of the game. Alabama went on to win 45-17, with Kentucky failing to score a single point in the second half.

The Wildcats' second-half struggles were evident throughout, as Kentucky's possessions ended with a punt, fumble, turnover on downs, punt, turnover on downs, and another fumble.
