Kentucky is set to take on in-state FCS opponent Eastern Kentucky in a reunion of sorts in Week 2 of the 2023 college football season.

EKU coach Walt Wells was a quality control coach at Kentucky in 2018 and 2019. There’s also quarterbacks coach Maxwell Smith, who threw passes for the Wildcats from 2011-13, and tight ends coach C.J. Conrad, who played tight end at Kentucky from 2015-18.

The Wildcats opened their season with a 44-14 win over Ball State. North Carolina State transfer quarterback Devin Leary completed 18 of 31 passes for 241 yards with a touchdown and an interception in his debut.

The Colonels are looking to rebound from a 66-13 loss to Cincinnati in which former Florida quarterback Emory Jones scored seven touchdowns for the Bearcats.
