Kickoff Time, TV Network Announced for Kentucky vs. Texas

The Horns hooked the Sooners at Red River. It’s putting this week’s game between Kentucky and Texas on a bigger stage.

There were two options for Kentucky vs. Texas. They would either get the 7:45 SEC Network Special or a 7 PM kickoff on ESPN. After a dominant performance at the Cotton Bowl, Texas and Kentucky will play at 7 PM ET on ESPN. Missouri and Auburn have been relegated to the SEC Network after both Tigers fell on Saturday.

This Saturday will be the first time Texas has played a football game in Lexington. The Longhorns won the previous two meetings between these teams in Austin. It is just the second night game of the season at Kroger Field and the first opportunity for Big Blue Nation to do the Kentucky Football-Keeneland Daily Double.

Kentucky has only won two of its last 16 SEC games, including eight straight losses. Big Blue Nation is starving for an SEC win. Hopefully, fireworks will fly when the Horns play at Kentucky for the very first time.
