Kentucky, Auburn Adjust Squads Ahead SEC Clash Amid Key Injuries, QB Competition

Kentucky football faces significant challenges for their upcoming game against Auburn, with several key players ruled out, particularly in the secondary, which could weaken their defense. Auburn, despite a 4-4 record, is favored to win due in part to Kentucky's struggles and injury issues, although Kentucky's quarterback Cutter Boley and running back Seth McGowan remain potential threats. Auburn's quarterback situation is uncertain, with head coach Hugh Freeze yet to decide between starters Jackson Arnold and Ashton Daniels, though Daniels has recently shown promise following Arnold's inconsistent performances. Auburn wide receiver Cam Coleman is questionable but expected to play after recovering from an ankle injury, which could bolster Auburn's offensive capabilities. The game, set at Jordan-Hare Stadium, will test Kentucky's depleted squad against a favored Auburn team looking to improve its SEC record. Both teams' injury reports and quarterback dynamics will be critical factors influencing the matchup's outcome.
