Game time, TV set for Texas at Kentucky
The SEC announced that the Texas Longhorns’ next matchup, taking on the Kentucky Wildcats, will take place under the lights at 6:00 PM Central, broadcast on ESPN.
The Longhorns have never made the trek to Lexington in their two matchups against the Wildcats. Last year, Texas hosted Kentucky, blasting them 31-14 and was in command the whole time. The only other game between the two took place in 1951, with the Longhorns coming away with a 7-6 victory.
The Wildcats are currently 2-3 on the year, including back-to-back three-touchdown losses at the hands of South Carolina and Georgia. However, Kentucky is coming off a bye week, as embattled head coach Mark Stoops tries to right the ship and get himself off the hot seat. Their only wins on the year came against two G5 opponents, a 24-16 season-opener against Toledo and a Week 3 blowout of Eastern Michigan.
Texas, coming off a massive win over rival Oklahoma, has a chance to climb out of the cellar both nationally and in the conference after high preseason hopes. The Longhorns have no margin of error as they finish out the regular season, as they head into their third of four weeks away from Austin to open up conference play.

Ohio tornado warnings: what residents should know
Severe storms June 17 in Ohio: know tornado watch vs. warning, safety steps, shelters and alerts.
A tornado was confirmed to have ripped through the Florence area during the overnight storms June 18.
The National Weather Service in Wilmington released a statement June 20 saying a tornado traveled eastward 6.2 miles across the Northern Kentucky city, 10 miles south of Cincinnati. It had estimated peak winds of 100 mph, which classifies it as an EF1 “moderate” tornado on the Enhanced Fujita Scale.
The tornado’s path goes mostly through residential areas, and the first evidence was found on Landings Way where several trees were snapped at their trunks, the weather service reported.
The tornado progressed east, crossing Interstate 71/75 and then seemingly dissipating on Tallwood Circle where multiple large branches were downed, the final known instance of damage.
Along the way, the tornado uprooted multiple trees and snapped branches, damaged several buildings and businesses, and snapped a large power pole near the intersection of U.S. 42 and Dream Street, according to the weather service.
How many tornadoes have been confirmed in Greater Cincinnati, beyond?
As of 1 p.m. June 20, the weather service has confirmed that apart from the one in Florence, two other tornadoes touched down in Greater Cincinnati on June 18:
- An EF2 “significant” tornado that traveled about 9 miles from Dearborn County, Indiana, to Boone County, Kentucky.
- An EF2 “significant” tornado that traveled just over 5 miles from Franklin County, Indiana, to Butler County, Ohio.
A few other tornadoes have been confirmed outside the Greater Cincinnati region, including an EF2 that traveled 23.6 miles from Scott County, Indiana, to Trimble County, Kentucky; an EF2 that traveled 9 miles across Pike County, Ohio; and one in Grant County, Kentucky, just north of Williamstown.
The weather service said details on the Grant County tornado will be released later on June 20.
