Coaching opposites will attract when Alabama hosts Mississippi State. At the beginning, are extremely different NCAAF bets personalities. Bulldog coach Mike Leach has numerous interests beyond football. In fact, he never likes to discuss football. Nor does Leach work 24/7/365 like his contemporaries.

In particular, he is a recruiting machine. Yet both coaches are successful.

Coach Mark Stoops tasked No. 22 UK to do better. And the Wildcats rebounded from a sluggish outing with a winning performance. Chris Rodriguez Jr. rushed for 196 yards and two fourth-quarter scores.

At the same time, Will Levis returned from a one-game absence to throw a go-ahead touchdown pass. Rodriguez had a career-high with 30 carries. And he had a season-high in yardage in his third game back from a suspension. He rushed for touchdowns of 16 and 7 yards. In turn, Rodriguez became the fourth Kentucky player to break 3,000 in a career.

Certainly, Kentucky sorely needed his second score for insurance. Following Emmanuel Forbes’ 59 yards interception return for a touchdown to get the Bulldogs within 20-17.

Chase McGrath kicked a 40-yard field goal as time expired to give No. 6 Tennessee a win for the ages over No. 3 Alabama. The field goal was not a work of art. To illuminate it was a wobbling knuckleball. Still, it counted.

Previously, Hendon Hooker drove the Vols 45 yards in 13 seconds to set up the winner. An 18-yard pass to Ramel Keyton and a 27-yard hookup with Bru McCoy set the stage for the payout.

Of major concern was that the Tide had 17 penalties for 130 yards. That total was the most during the Saban era. Bryce Young, a game-time decision because of a sprained right shoulder two weeks ago, completed 35 passes for 455 yards and two TDs for the Tide.
