No. 10 LSU vs. Kentucky: How to Watch, Odds, Injuries, and More

Heading into week six of the season, the LSU Tigers find themselves as one of the top-10 teams in the country, but will hit the road for just the second time this year in a critical conference matchup.

They will face off against the surging Kentucky Wildcats, who have two SEC wins already, and will look for another statement win in year one of the Will Stein era.

Here is how to watch the Saturday night matchup between the two teams.

Last Season: Despite a 4-0 start, the Tigers would fall to 5-3 after an embarrassing home loss to the Texas A&M Aggies that would result in the program opting for a head coaching change, and would finish 2-3 the rest of the way for a 7-6 record. The Wildcats would go 5-7 on the year, finishing conference play 2-6, leading to the program letting go of tenured coach Mark Stoops.
Series History: The Tigers lead the all-time series 39-16, but the two programs have met just three times since 2008.
