That game against the Aggies will be on the SEC Network Alternate Channel. The matchup with the Florida Gators was previously announced as the featured SEC on CBS game for Week 2. At the very least, UK should come out of that three-game stretch with a 2-1 record, and the Florida game may very well come down to the wire once again.

Week 1 can’t get here soon enough.
