Kentucky plays at Oklahoma on Saturday, Oct. 17 at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. ET (6:30 p.m. in Norman) on the SEC Network.
Where each team stands
Kentucky was 4-1 overall and 2-1 in the SEC in Will Stein's first season. The Wildcats beat Youngstown State 45-13, lost 45-17 to Alabama on Sept. 12, won 31-21 at Texas A&M on Sept. 19, beat South Alabama 45-21 and won 35-34 in overtime at South Carolina on Oct. 3. They were outside the AP Top 25 in the Oct. 4 poll.
Oklahoma was 2-2 and 0-1 in the SEC in Brent Venables's fifth season. The Sooners beat UTEP 51-0, lost 17-10 at Michigan on Sept. 12, beat New Mexico 14-6 and fell 41-13 at No. 2 Georgia on Sept. 26. They were also outside the Top 25. Their Oct. 10 date was the Red River Rivalry against No. 1 Texas at the Cotton Bowl.
The tailgate
Heisman Park, on Jenkins Avenue east of the stadium, is where Oklahoma tailgates, wagon and all, on a campus that takes its trophies seriously. Back in Lexington, Kentucky fans gather at the Bluegrass Lots, the K-Fund lots outside Kroger Field on a blue Saturday.
What to watch
Kentucky has the better overall record and the better conference record. Oklahoma is still looking for its first SEC win.
