Toledo at Kentucky

When: 12 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 31 at Lexington, Kentucky (Kroger Field)

How to watch: SEC Network with Taylor Zarzour, Matt Stinchcomb and Alyssa Lang

Outlook: This is the first time Kentucky and Toledo will face each other.

The Wildcats are coming off a 10-win season, but a lot of the impact players from that team are gone. Now, Mark Stoops has the added pressure of trying to maintain excitement for Kentucky football without players like Benny Snell Jr. and five of the top seven receivers from last season.

Toledo dropped a 35-32 heartbreaker to Florida International in the 2018 Bahamas Bowl, but do return former Kentucky running back Bryant Koback and quarterback Mitchell Guadagni to the 25th-rated offense nationally last season.

The Last Line: While I see the Wildcats winning this, I also see the Rockets making it interesting.
