Smith, No. 1 Alabama rout short-handed Kentucky, 63-3

Associated Press  

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama didn’t quite look like itself at first after an extended period on the sidelines, but it scarcely made a difference on the scoreboard. DeVonta Smith caught nine passes for 144 yards and set the Southeastern Conference career record with two more touchdowns in the top-ranked Crimson Tide’s 63-3 victory over short-handed Kentucky on Saturday. “I know you’re going to look at the score and say, ‘Man, there’s not a lot of good things.’ But there was,” Kentucky coach Mark Stoops said. “Early in the game, I thought our guys were playing extremely hard, extremely physical.” Smith broke Amari Cooper’s SEC and Alabama record with his 32nd touchdown catch, a 10-yarder from Jones in the second quarter. Kentucky played without leading rusher Chris Rodriguez, guard Luke Fortner, tight ends Justin Rigg and Brenden Bates, and linebackers Jamin Davis and D’Eryk Jackson.
