TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Jalen Hurts went to his star receiver after a first half of misfires and missed opportunities with a simple message: Lets settle down.It worked wonders.Hurts threw two third-quarter touchdown passes to Ridley, and Ronnie Harrison scored on a 55-yard fumble return, in No. 1 Alabamas 34-6 victory over Kentucky on Saturday night.The Crimson Tide (5-0, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) overcame a week full of potential distractions and a slow start to run away from the Wildcats (2-3, 1-2).He actually came to me and said we need to calm down, Ridley said. Hes one of those guys. I think hes like the Jameis Winston guy. Just like hes very cool when somethings going wrong, hes like, `Calm down, calm down and lets just keep going. And I answered him, `Youre right, lets play.The Hurt and Ridley Show took over the second half, hooking up on scoring passes of 10 and 19 yards and plenty in between.

I didnt think we sort of imposed our will in the first half how we could have or should have or wanted to, however you want to say it.Kentucky couldnt overcome two first-half fumbles, the first coming in Tide territory.We had a chance to do some things and go up by at least six and we gave up the turnover there early, Kentucky coach Mark Stoops said. That we cant do.Hurts couldnt produce any big plays in the passing game until the opening drive of the third quarter. He rolled toward the right sideline and found Ridley wide open for a 46-yard gain. Two plays later, he did the same thing and again Ridley was open -- this time in the end zone.THE TAKEAWAYKentucky: The Wildcats scored first but couldnt get anything going offensively, getting outgained 488-161. Stanley Boom Williams came in averaging 116 yards a game and finished with 22 yards on nine carries.Alabama: The defense sparked the Tide when Hurts and the passing game werent clicking. Alabama had four sacks. Harris logged only two carries and big-play receiver ArDarius Stewart sat out the second straight game with a knee injury.NON-OFFENSIVE TDS: Rashaan Evans stripped the ball from quarterback Stephen Johnson and Harrison scooped it up and sprinted to the end zone in the second quarter. Alabama leads the nation with five defensive touchdowns and seven non-offensive TDs.JOHNSONS NIGHT: Kentucky quarterback Stephen Johnson was 13 of 22 for 89 yards, lost two fumbles and was sacked four times. Saban said Alabama noticed he was a little loose with the ball.I was just trying to make something happen and I didnt hold the ball like I should, Johnson said.POLL IMPLICATIONSAlabama could lose some ground at the No. 1 spot with No. 5 Clemson and No. 3 Louisville clashing in a much more meaningful game.UP NEXTKentucky hosts Vanderbilt in a matchup of SEC East teams in need of a win.Alabama visits No. 20 Arkansas to begin a three-week stretch against ranked teams.----APs college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.orgStefon Diggs Jersey Color Rush .
