UK crushes Youngstown State, and Penn State Gameday at Wrigley Field

September 6, 2026 · Yahoo Sports

College football season is back, and the Will Stein era is underway in Lexington!

Visit newsbetsport.bond for more information.

Stein won his first game as head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats yesterday, defeating Youngstown State 45-13. It was a solid debut for Stein, as Kentucky scored touchdowns on its first three offensive possessions of the game and built a big lead early on the way to a dominant win.

There is certainly a different vibe with UK Football with Stein at the helm of the program, and while yesterday’s performance wasn’t perfect, there is plenty of optimism moving forward with Alabama coming to Lexington next Saturday.

It’s also a big weekend for UK Volleyball. Craig Skinner’s squad will take on Penn State in a very unique matchup today, with the match taking place at Wrigley Field in Chicago.

Kentucky is off to a strong start this season, with the only loss coming to Pittsburgh, but a top-15 Penn State team will present a challenge for Kentucky this evening.

The action gets underway at 7:00 this evening and will be broadcast on FOX.

Tweet of the Day

In the past Kentucky has struggled to find balance in the offense & was always very predictable. I love how Coach got all of our playmakers involved & showed a variety of looks. This is what we’ve been missing.
