I went to the Bama - Kentucky game yesterday (63-3 Tide) and while it wasn't much of a game, it did provide some benefits.
First, nobody on the Tide squad got hurt.
Second, given the score differential, we saw plenty of action from the 4th and 5th running backs and they were both impressive with good speed and moves. Each got a TD. And that was with the 3rd string o-line. Lots of subs on defense too.
Third, saw our QB of the future, Bryce Young, throw his first touchdown pass of his career. In fact, his first pass of the game was perfectly dropped over the receiver's shoulder (who was well covered) on a dead run. Nice touch. I assume our present QB Mac Jones will go pro after this year (has one season of eligibility remaining) and Bryce will take over. Mac is in the run for the Heisman. He's come a LONG way in the last year from "maybe he'll get drafted" (or stay for his final year) to "likely first rounder" (he gone).
So the game was a nice prep for Auburn next Saturday (which will be our last home game of the year).
One last note: coming down the spiral ramp at the end of the game from the upper deck, I saw 6 charter-style busses in Kentucky Blue/KY logos parked next to the stadium where the visiting team's equipment truck/18 wheeler normally parks. And the truck was there too along with a bus-style RV in Kentucky blue. Makes me wonder if the team came to Tuscaloosa from Lexington in the busses to save money in this covid season. Usually in a situation like this, a team flies into Birmingham an hour away, stays in the hotels there the night before the game, charters busses to take them to T-town, play the game, then the busses take them to the airport. So my hat is off to the KY players if they had to bus back and forth from Lex.

PS - i assume the busses were for the players and the RV bus was for some of the coaching staff/HC.
