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.
PENDLETON CO., Ky. — A woman was killed, and two juveniles were seriously injured Friday night in a two-vehicle crash in Pendleton County, Kentucky State Police said.
Police said troopers responded to a two-vehicle crash near the 2600 block of US-27 around 9 p.m. Friday.
Troopers found that 67-year-old Sandra Barker was driving a 2015 Chevrolet Equinox north on US-27 when she crossed the center line and struck a 2018 Ram truck that was being driven by a 57-year-old man.
Barker was pronounced dead at the scene, police said. Two juveniles, who were passengers in the Ram truck, were transported to the hospital with serious injuries. Police did not say if the 57-year-old driver of the truck was injured or not.
Troopers said the investigation into the crash is in the early stages, and it’s being reconstructed by Kentucky State Police’s Post 6 in Dry Ridge.
Troopers were assisted by the Pendleton County Coroner’s Office, Pendleton County EMS, Pendleton County Fire Department, Southern Campbell EMS, Northern Pendleton Fire/EMS and AirCare.
