ESPN RECAPNo. 12 Alabama overcomes halftime deficit to beat Kentucky 45-17
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- , Keelon Russell threw for 188 yards and a touchdown to help No. 12 Alabama beat Kentucky 45-17 on Saturday in the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams. Russell overcame two interceptions in the first half as the Crimson Tide (2-0) overcame a 17-13 halftime deficit, outscoring the Wildcats (1-1) 32-0 in the second half. ″(It was) far from a perfect game,” Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer said. “It wasn’t this crazy energy that we had to have (after trailing). I felt like it was kind of almost just getting locked in, getting refocused, and just knowing the game was going to be ours. We’ve just got to go out and execute.” Alabama won its ninth straight over Kentucky, a streak that began after the Wildcats had a 40-34 overtime victory in 1997, ending a 75-year losing streak to the Crimson Tide.
