Kroger Field in Lexington, Kentucky

2 Players in major-college football history have scored more points than Alabama K Will Reichard, who set the record for career points by a kicker with six extra points in the Crimson Tide’s 42-28 victory over LSU last week. With 502 points, Reichard replaced Austin Seibert, who had 499 points for Oklahoma from 2015 through 2018, on the top of the kicker list. The players with more points than Reichard are QB Keenan Reynolds, who scored 530 points for Navy from 2012 through 2015, and RB Kenneth Dixon, who scored 522 points for TCU from 2012 through 2015.

2 Alabama players have had at least 150 rushing yards and 150 passing yards in the same game, including QB Jalen Milroe in the Crimson Tide’s 42-28 victory over LSU last week. Milroe had 219 passing yards and 155 rushing yards against the Tigers. The first Alabama player with a 150/150 game was QB Tyler Watts, who had 231 passing yards and 162 rushing yards in a 37-36 loss to South Carolina on Sept. 29, 2001. Three other Alabama quarterbacks have had at least 150 rushing yards in a game – Steadman Shealy with 190 in a 24-7 victory over Mississippi State on Nov. 3, 1979; Walter Lewis with 156 in a 21-3 victory over Cincinnati on Oct. 23, 1982; and Jalen Hurts with 154 in a 41-10 victory over Fresno State on Sept. 19, 2017. In those games, Shealy had 42 passing yards, Lewis 61 and Hurts 128. (Halfback Harry Gilmore had 216 rushing yards against Kentucky on Nov. 3, 1945, and is sometimes listed as a quarterback. He had 50 passing yards in the 60-19 victory over the Wildcats.) Milroe also ran for four TDs against LSU, becoming the ninth Alabama player with at least four rushing TDs in one game (with Shaun Alexander doing it twice). Milroe is the only quarterback on the list.

4 TDs have been scored by the Kentucky defense this season, tied for the most in the nation. The Wildcats have returned three interceptions and one fumble for TDs. Two other SEC members – Arkansas and Tennessee – as well as Kansas, Michigan, Notre Dame and Ohio State have four defensive TDs this season.

5 Interceptions have been made by Kentucky CB Maxwell Hairston during the 2023 season. He also leads the SEC with 131 interception-return yards and has scored TDs on two of his interceptions this season.

10 Of Alabama QB Jalen Milroe’s 13 TD passes in 2023 have covered at least 29 yards. (The other three were 10-, 15- and 19-yard passes.) Six of Milroe’s 11 40-yard completions have gone for touchdowns this season, and his average gain of 10.4 yards per pass ranks second in the nation to LSU QB Jayden Daniels, who has an average of 11.3 yards per pass.

26 Years since Kentucky defeated Alabama. The Crimson Tide leads the series with the Wildcats 38-2-1, with Kentucky’s victories coming 6-0 on Nov. 18, 1922, and 40-34 on Oct. 4, 1997. Alabama has won the seven meetings since the 1997 game.

29 Consecutive victories for Alabama when the Crimson Tide’s game kicks off at noon or earlier local time. Alabama’s most recent loss with a noon or earlier kickoff came on Dec. 31, 2004, when Minnesota defeated the Tide 20-16 in the Music City Bowl.

48 Solo tackles by Alabama S Caleb Downs this season, twice as many as any other Crimson Tide player has and second in the SEC to the 49 of South Carolina LB Deebo Williams. Downs leads Alabama with 76 total tackles in 2023.

97 Rushing yards are need by Kentucky RB Ray Davis to become the 11th player with a 1,000-yard rushing season for the Wildcats. Two of the players had two 1,000-yard seasons – Sonny Collins in 1973 and 1975 and Rafael Little in 2005 and 2007 – and one had three – Benny Snell Jr. in 2016, 2017 and 2018. Kentucky’s other 1,000-yard rushers have been George Adams in 1984, Mark Higgs in 1987, Moe Williams in 1995, Artose Pinner in 2002, Stanley “Boom” Williams in 2016, Lynn Bowden Jr. in 2019 and Christopher Rodriguez Jr. in 2021.

232 Victories at Alabama and 60 at Kentucky for coach Paul “Bear” Bryant. Bryant holds the Crimson Tide record for coaching wins, and he held the Kentucky record, too, until current coach Mark Stoops passed him. Since he became the Wildcats’ coach in 2013, Stoops has compiled a 72-62 record. From 1946 through 1953, Bryant had a 60-23-5 record at Kentucky. Bryant had a 232-46-9 record at Alabama from 1958 through 1982. He has 30 more victories with the Crimson Tide than the No. 2 coach on the list, current coach Nick Saban, who has a 202-28 record at Alabama since 2007.

305 Games have been played by Alabama since it was most recently shut out. Alabama’s scoring streak is the third-longest in SEC history and the 13th-longest in major-college football history. Alabama’s most recent shutout loss came 9-0 to Auburn on Nov. 18, 2000. The Crimson Tide is one game away from tying for the 12th-longest scoring streak. Air Force scored in 306 consecutive games from 1993 through 2017.

667 Yards and six TDs on 115 rushing attempts by Kentucky RB Ray Davis in the Wildcats’ six conference games this season. Davis leads the league in rushing yards against SEC competition in 2023.
