Alabama football is set to face Kentucky Saturday at Kroger Field in Lexington. The game gives the Crimson Tide an opportunity to clinch the SEC West with a win.

UA would also seal a trip to Atlanta Saturday if Ole Miss falls to Georgia. However, an Alabama loss would likely crush its hopes of making the College Football Playoff.

The game is scheduled to kick off at 11 a.m. CT on Saturday. It will be aired on ESPN.
