Not sure what has happened today to change the line drastically, but something has. The line continues to drop. A couple of books including ESPN’s has it down to -7 1/2 yet 79% of money is on Tennessee. All of the books have dropped some from the -9 1/2 to open. Starting to wonder if we’re gonna see Joey‘s name show up as questionable on the injury list tonight.

Friday before game day and this Kentucky pre- game thread is limping along on page three. Meanwhile the thread from last week’s game is still chugging right along.
Hopefully the team is more focused👊🏻🍊

Too much focus on the baseball program. Crazy that’s how big it has become because of Tony. We are about to play game 8 in the football season, and there are 9:1 posts of baseball to football in the football talk thread.

OAN: I just don’t trust this team on the road, especially at night, no matter who we play. Hope they prove me wrong, but I have zero warm and fuzzies about tomorrow night and dread seeing what Banks has in store.

The other thing that concerns me about the game is I think UK has an experienced OL and decent running game. They are probably going to line up and try to run the ball down our throats all night to shorten the game. Less possessions for the offense and defense more worn out. Not a good recipe for us to win with all the holes in this defense.

The Vols travel to Kentucky to take on the Wildcats on Saturday night. Tennessee enters pretty healthy on offense. Radarius Jackson has practiced this week and Ethan Davis has not been in a non-contact jersey this week. Both are still questionable for the game, but they are closer to playing than they have been. To the point that we expect Davis to be good to go having been cleared for contact. Travis Smith remains out and there’s no concrete timetable for his return although he is expected back this season.

With the probable return of Davis, the tight end rotation will be interesting as Jack Van Dorselaer has gotten Davis’ snaps and last week we saw plenty of potential late in the game with fellow freshman DaSaahn Brame who had three catches for 38 yards.

The injury concern is at linebacker where Arion Carter is dealing with turf toe in both feet and is questionable. We feel like it’s a long shot if he plays in this one. He’s not been 100% for several weeks. Ben Bolton who was injured in the first series of the game last week, is questionable as well which means you could see more Jadon Perlotte at linebacker as his snap count has been increasing over the last couple of weeks. You could also see some run for Jaedon Harmon, although it sounds like they need to see more out of him on the practice field.

“Ultimately, Jaedon has done a really good job on special teams,” Heupel said. “Proof of your product is in your preparation on the practice field, too. And Jaedon is a guy that we love inside of our building. I just want to see continued growth from him.”

One of the challenges for the linebackers this week is Kentucky’s tight ends and running backs in the passing game. Last week, tailback Seth McGowan had seven catches out of the back field. McGowan is listed as questionable for this week, but they used him a lot against Texas. Kentucky also ran some hurry up offense against the Longhorns.

Quarterback Joey Aguilar has practiced all week and there is no concern there after he played through a lot of discomfort from the second quarter on last week.

It won’t be a surprise if you see William Wright get a series or two at corner to spell Ty Redmond. In the fourth quarter against Alabama, the coaching staff went to Wright as Redmond has been getting picked on and hasn’t played as well as he did early in the year.

Jesse Perry has continued to rep at both offensive guard and offensive tackle again this week and will likely play both Saturday night.

If we rotate OL again… that’s ridiculous. How do we expect to get cohesive? Come on ccoahces… we shall see.

If Kentucky likes to use tight ends and throw to runningback, then Perlotte is perfect and Harmon is too. Play them!

With that said, they shouldn’t be able to hold us under 35.
