Top-ranked Alabama will take travel to Lexington, Kentucky to take on the Wildcats Saturday evening at 7 pm, but although they've had a perfect season so far, they're dealing with suspensions.

Nine of Crimson Tide (5-0) players have been suspended for different off-the-field issues since defeating Notre Dame 42-14 on Jan. 7 to win the BCS championship for the third time in four years.

Safety Clinton-Dix is the latest suspension for the team, but that didn't stop the Crimson Tide from their latest victory against Georgia State, 45-3.

However, the suspensions haven't necessarily affected the team's performance on the field. The Crimson Tide have outscored opponents 101-9 in three games since beating No. 6 Texas A&M, 49-42.

"We just don't worry about it," quarterback AJ McCarron said. "It's not affecting me as a person. It has nothing to do with me. It has nothing to do with anybody else. It's whoever it's going on with. Us as a team, we can't let anything like that affect us that we have no control over."

Over the past three games, the Crimson Tide have yielded an average of 219.7 yards -- 37.3 rushing.

First-year coach Mark Stoops is looking forward to going up against UK.

"It will be a great challenge like I said, but something that we'll embrace," Stoops said. "I just hope we continue to understand that we can win these games."
