First off, I did not realize one of UK's starting ILB was hurt in May and just left rehab a day or 2 ago. Hopefully the young man can get his life back and get out of his wheelchair. They havent said what it was or how he was hurt, just that its a serious medical condition. Football comes second to the health and well being of the players on the field. I hope he fully recovers. If you see a number 22 without a name Saturday, it is to honor Chris Oats.
We all saw the game Saturday so there's not much more to say about the game that hasn't been said already. At this point, I don't care who's playing or who I am a fan of, as long as UT wins.
Overall, they arent very optimistic, but hopefull and moreso throwing predictions against the wall hoping to be right.
3-7, maybe 4-6 if everything works out perfectly. Either way, a massively disappointing season seems to be coming....
I put all the predictions in one quote. This is from their thread thats similar to Freaks Score Contest.
UT 31
UK 17
/UK 30
UT 21
UK 24
UT 29
UK - 34
tenn - 24
On what they do not like about UT.
Fulmer and their stadium is basically just a pile of $%&* sky scraper and as @RocknRollCats said, the bleachers are horrible.
Rocky Top
Their fans singing Rocky Top
Their fans
You could be awarded a Noble prize for mathematics if you could make an accurate prediction how many times their band will play Rocky Top in the course of a season.
Tennessee has a puky shade of orange that I hate. But a 1970 Hemi Orange Barricuda would be my first purchase if I ever hit the lottery, actually, I'd probably buy a new Hellcat Challenger first. Can't actually hate on Rocky Top either, because I love the Osborne Brothers.
But, make no mistake, I hate the UT Volunteers!!!
Go Smokey!!!
I hate their mascots an old dog that goes around pissing on truck tires
How I wish every opponent saw UT---Can we go back to the 90's?
I will not talk trash until we can actually beat them
Not taking away from their W Saturday, but their O didn't exactly light the place up. Guess you dont need to if your D forces 6 TO's.
Tsk I couldn’t believe when I saw the stat line and it read 157 yards of offense, I thought it would be impossible to win but hats off to Kentucky. Never seen anything like that in a stat line
That’s what 6 INTs will do for you. Really Kentucky should’ve won by 40 but I’m not going to complain because they won. On to the next one.
I was wondering how their could be a 46 yard safety for Miss St
Not that it makes much difference but the yards lost on the bad snap, 50 or so, comes off he O total.
In recent years UK has run for over 400 yards in a game twice and lost both, must be some kind of record.
This was funny
You all just ought to be glad Stoops finally opened up the offense.
UK and Gran’s GP going in needs to be run, run and run some more.
Wilson
C Rod
Rose
Control the time of possession and man handle the Vawls with the BBL!
Smashmouth ole school football Sat at high noon!
And if we need to punt we have Duffy!!!
LFG!!!
We need to have Terry and Joey and the RB running a heavy wildcat offense. If out Qb can hit a few passes then so be it. But UT QB Situation is only just a little bit better than Mstate
We need to give our Oline some confidence. Our first three games have not give them much
We are going to have to be able to throw the ball better than we have the first three games to win.
Get ready for the influx of UT fans to tell us what to write and think
This win feels nice but UT gonna eat our lunch. We have zero offense with TW. That’s just the truth....and while UTs offense is a lil suspect, their D is better than what we saw tonight.
And Rose is GOTTA learn how to pass block. He missed 2 blocks in same series and damn near got Terry Wilson killed. Not to mention his lack of ball security. Gotta stop fumbling.
Rose is a 5th year senior. Not going to improve on any of his weaknesses at this point.
Time to move on with McClain. He is in the same situation Benny Snell was in as a freshman. Can't get on the field because of stubborn coaches.
UT is going to kill us. Get ready.
Thought they had the best OL in the SEC? Not that UTs did any better Saturday, but they did play a much better D than UK did
If UK doesn’t turn the ball over they have a great chance to beat UT
The offensive line needs to man up too, they were poor last giving up penetration on the edges all night, tackles were poor
Unless TW can turn into a legit passing threat over the next week, we are going to get killed. They play hard, can match up on the lines and will absolutely outscheme us on D - not that they need it as our O blows.
Our only shot is that we can somewhat run the ball to control clock, play a pretty much flawless/penalty free game and win the TO battle. Otherwise, they have more skill position talent, a better offense and a better coach.
Get ready to defend the deep ball. Guarantano always plays out of his mind against us by throwing the ball way down field
The story of UK-UT is going to be a lot more about the Kentucky Defense than the Kentucky Offense. UT's QB has shown that he cannot handle pressure. If Kentucky can get to him and force him into making bad decisions he will become a turnover machine. If he has time to setup in the pocket he is going to throw over the top of our defense all day long. Georiga came out and blitzed the hell out of him in the second half and they crushed UT. Unfortunately, I don't think our Defense is really built that way.
Did I just read this right ? Kentucky had 159 yds of offense against Miss St
We are not in as good a shape to beat them as the last couple years . *****ing the bed last year still haunts me . I just dnt have much faith in the O being able to score and Stoops being able to make the right calls in the biggest moments to upset them.
They are going to score some , can we hang with them ?
Someones not concerened
What am I missing about Tennessee? They aren’t very good and honestly I’m not scared of them at all. I don’t get our fans sometimes. I think it will be a really good game that comes down to the wire.
I don’t know what in the last 40 years of football against UT inspires such confidence. Especially after the first three games of this season.
Stoops’ only win against UT came against a historically bad Tennessee team and that game even went down to the final play. I’ve seen far worse UT teams than this one beat the brakes off of us.
Not sure why you bring up the 1st 3 games of this season as super negative.
At Auburn is no joke and UK was in the thick of that game until the 4th.
UK had Ole Miss beat and pissed it away
And ofcourse UK had an historic night defensively last night.
Stoops will have this team ready to snap another streak Sat at Knoxville.
I just hope Paschal can get over his knee sprain in time to give us some snaps!
1. I think UK can stone the Tenn rushing attack...which then makes UT all passing with Gaurantino. And he throws a very good deep ball. So we'll see our DBs challenged for sure. I think UT has a top notch OL...so can we generate pressure...that may be the key to the game to be honest.
2. On the other side...UT isn't great on D but not awful either. They take tons of chances with the blitz...so get ready to see Terry stare down blitzes and take sack after sack...or he makes plays when pressure comes. I know what I think Terry will do.
I just don't feel a good vibe on this game...Tenn 28 - UK 17
UT is not that good.....I predict we finally get a win there.....TW is a good QB. He is not getting the support he needs from our fans. He will show up at UT.
I want to see a lot of CROD running the ball too.
Well, we haven’t won in Knoxville in damn near 40 years. Sorry if I don’t ooze confidence.
No way we win down there with a lack off downfield passing game. Just not going to happen
As inconsistent as Guarantano has been in his career, he has been wildly consistent at destroying us. Hopefully after what feels like about the fifth time we play him, we will figure out how to stop him.
You just know the defense will go back to sucking again, and we'll continue to not be able to score enough with Terry Wilson and these receivers. UT by 17-21
Overall, most fans are not very confident in UK at the moment. Lets kick them while they're down.
