Kentucky vs. Ball State updates: Live NCAA Football game scores, results for Saturday
Live scores, highlights and updates from the Kentucky vs. Ball State football game
The Ball State Cardinals will hit the road to start their 2023 campaign against the Kentucky Wildcats. Kickoff is scheduled at 12:00 p.m. ET on September 2nd at Kroger Field.
Kentucky finished last season ranked 23rd in the nation in fourth down efficiency, having averaged 54% over the course of the season. Ball State, on the other hand, didn't do so hot: they were ranked 127th with 35%.
Looking forward to Saturday, Kentucky shouldn't be too worried about this matchup, as the experts have them favored by 25 points. They finished last season with an 8-5 record against the spread.
Kentucky ought to be happy about their advantage in the spread: the team was a solid 4-2 when favored last season. A bettor who placed a $100 dollar bet on them to lose every one of the 13 games they played last year would have netted $827.84. Sadly, Ball State will open their season as the underdog, and the team was 3-6 as such last year.
