Kentucky will battle the Auburn Tigers under the lights at Jordan-Hare Stadium. The SEC just announced game times for Saturday, Nov. 1 and the Cats vs. the Tigers will kick off at 7:30 p.m. ET. It will air on SEC Network.

Auburn is also winless in the SEC, coming off a double overtime loss at home vs. No. 16 Missouri. All four of the Tigers’ SEC losses came against ranked opponents. Hugh Freeze’s seat is hot as they head to Arkansas this weekend. In conference play, Auburn ranks dead last in scoring, averaging 12.3 points per game; however, the Tigers are tied for sixth in scoring defense, holding SEC opponents to an average of 20 points per contest.

Auburn is 28-6-1 vs. Kentucky all-time, winning four straight, including last year’s 24-10 victory at Kroger Field. The Cats last traveled to Auburn in September 2020, the season opener during the abbreviated COVID season, a 29-13 Auburn win.
