SEC Nation coming to Lexington for LSU-Kentucky

I would argue that Kroger Field will never be as electric as it was on Saturday night, but next weekend is definitely going to give Kentucky’s epic upset win over Florida a good run for its money.

The No. 16 ranked Kentucky Wildcats (man, that feels good to say) will bring its 5-0 undefeated record back to the home field when the LSU Tigers come to town on Oct. 9 for Homecoming. But Ed Orgeron’s squad won’t be the only special guest in Lexington. SEC Nation, which is the Southeastern Conference’s version of College Gameday, will set up outside of Kroger Field next weekend.

This will be the first time of the 2021 season that SEC Nation comes to Lexington. Kentucky is currently a 3.5-point favorite to beat LSU.

Kentucky was actually featured on SEC Nation already this season when the ‘Cats took down South Carolina last weekend in Columbia.

The Marty & McGee show will get things rolling at 9 a.m. EST before the SEC Nation crew takes over at 10 a.m. The last time SEC Nation featured a Kentucky home game was when the ‘Cats fell to Florida, 29-21, in 2019. The show did not travel in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

SEC Nation features famous personalities such as Paul Finebaum, Tim Tebow, Roman Harper, and Jordan Rodgers, along with Laura Rutledge as the show’s host.

Kentucky and LSU will kickoff this Saturday, Oct. 9 at 7:30 p.m. EST on the SEC Network.
