Kentucky vs. Southern Miss updated odds ahead of Week 1 matchup
![Kentucky vs. Southern Miss updated odds ahead of Week 1 matchup Kentucky vs. Southern Miss updated odds ahead of Week 1 matchup](https://cdn.vox-cdn.com/thumbor/ZLIns_vq0rI-iTw4YxED7v2VUBY=/0x571:4000x2665/fit-in/1200x630/cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_asset/file/25590332/usa_today_23015901.jpg)
It is finally football time in the Bluegrass.
After a long eight months, the Kentucky Wildcats will return to action on Saturday at Kroger Field as they welcome the Southern Miss Golden Eagles to Lexington.
The BBN is excited to see the new-look roster take the field, especially on the offensive side of the ball. How will Bush Hamdan’s offense look in Lexington? Will Brock Vandagriff become a standout in college football? Both of these are great questions as Saturday’s matchup approaches.
Southern Miss comes into the game with a new starting QB in former Florida State transfer, Tate Rodemaker. After a rough season in Hattiesburg last season, the Golden Eagles will be looking to make some noise early this season. I’m sure all of us in the BBN also remember the trouble that Southern Miss has caused the program in the Stoops era, namely the upset win in 2016 at Kroger Field.
Luckily, at the moment, the oddsmakers at DraftKings think this game shouldn’t be close. At the moment, the Cats sit as 28-point favorites, with the O/U set at 50.5 points.
Do we think the Cats cover? Are we going for the early-season under?
Should be a fun first full weekend of college football.

CLAY COUNTY, Ky. (WYMT)— Since the COVID-19 pandemic, hospitals throughout the country have faced a large number of position vacancies.
However, according to a 2023 report by the Kentucky Hospital Association, hospitals are seeing that number lower.
CEO of the association Nancy Galvagni said hospitals are focusing on ways to get the younger generation to fill the vacant positions.
“Our members are looking at how can they design benefits that are going to be more attractive to a younger workforce,” she said.
While the number of vacancies is decreasing, Galvagni said the number of vacancies is still too high and there is more work that needs to be done.

Alabama football injury update: Latest from Kalen DeBoer before Western Kentucky
![Alabama football injury update: Latest from Kalen DeBoer before Western Kentucky Alabama football injury update: Latest from Kalen DeBoer before Western Kentucky](https://www.al.com/resizer/v2/KQCZQFRPPJG6BORDAICDIM7G3I.jpg?auth=e52d86b5abd32b9716b263e572dedc32a531f049f6bb28accae8d6e1368873df&width=1280&quality=90)
Kalen DeBoer started the first game week with good news on the injury update front.
DeBoer was asked to provide an injury update Monday on starters Jaeden Roberts and Jam Miller, and he seemed optimistic about both. DeBoer said Roberts and Miller are expected to practice and “be ready to go” for Saturday against Western Kentucky.
Meanwhile, on backup linebacker Jeremiah Alexander also dealing with an injury, DeBoer said “would not probably expect him” for Saturday.
Miller has been banged up during some of the latest preseason practices, and Roberts sustained an injury during the second scrimmage.
Miller is expected to start at running back this season, and Roberts is expected to return to his starting spot at right guard again this season.
Alabama is set to face Western Kentucky on Saturday (6 p.m., ESPN) at Bryant-Denny Stadium to kick off a new era of football with Nick Saban no longer the coach for the first time since 2006.
