The Auburn Tigers and the Kentucky Wildcats are opening their 2020 seasons against one another at noon ET this past Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium. After a 9-4 record last year and an appearance in the Outback Bowl, Auburn is coming in with an eye to spark another quality season. While UK was not exactly top dog last season, they did wrap up the year with a winning record of 8-5.
A couple defensive numbers to keep in mind before kickoff: The Tigers were ninth best in the nation in rushing touchdowns allowed, finishing the 2019 season giving up only ten. As for UK, they ranked first in the nation in passing touchdowns allowed, closing the year allowing only nine overall.
Auburn has the odds in their favor, so they'll need to guard against complacency. These early season matchups can go either way as both teams get back into playing shape.
