Didn’t contain them last year. Even with the win, the stats were abysmal.

Yes we did. We held them scoreless after the 2:28 mark in the first quarter. Their first drive was the only successful drive on us. The other touchdown came from that botched punt.

We had the best stats against them of anyone other than Georgia last year.

We are going to smack them Saturday.

We will steam roll UK.
The only, and I mean the only way, UK wins this game, is if our players and coaches are actually looking ahead to next week.
I don't think they are.

The two times UT has loss to UK in my lifetime were basically two teams that had already gave up on the season. I don't think that's the case here so it should be automatic.

People worrying a lot about the UK game shows how much they are overreacting to how we performed against the best defense in the nation. We are still a top 15 team and at worst a top 20 team in the country. Kentucky is not. They are one dimensional, the talent gap between us and UGA is the same as us and UK. We are at home and we always beat Kentucky. We will get right.

Agree - huge Game. Our D must shut down their run, kept the QB from scrambling for long runs, and force the QB to beat us in the air. On O, we need to get the run game going early...

Their record is a bit deceptive. They lost to a pretty good Ole Miss team in OT because their kicker missed a PAT (and they had a stupid premature celebration on what should have been a TD). That Ole Miss team just gave Bama all they wanted. They just held Mike Leach's MSU offense scoreless...that's the same offense that torched LSU and set all kinds of records in Game 1. Kentucky can play.

This team has a very good defense and offensive line. Tennessee is favored, but this isn't a game we can overlook. Hopefully, after what happened against Georgia, they'll be fired up to prove something. Beat Kentucky, take the probable L against Alabama, go into the off week 3-2, and I think we're in good shape to either run the table or go 4-1. Lose to Kentucky and things could go downhill.

Huge game.

I really don't like that 6.5 point line i'd steer clear of this game.. I can see it being a repeat of last year's game. It will probably be close.

I wouldn’t bet on this game but it’s not a game I would expect TN to lose just because KY doesn’t really have a good offense. What is surprising is that Arkansas should be more of a worry.

Wow. We lose to one of the best teams in the country and all of a sudden we have to worry about Kentucky? LOL at some of you. We will handle Kentucky.

Not sure I am confident in saying "We will handle ANYONE" at this point. As long as JG is back there, put some pressure in his face and we are in trouble...Gotta score to win the game, and I am not confident in our ability to take long drives and score to keep our defense rested.

KY shoots themselves in the foot, even more than UT. Surprise, surprise, it has a lot to do with who they got at QB. I don't think we'll look over KY in this game. Both teams have good coaching but the difference will be in talent, so have to give TN the nod here.

I don't know how anyone could be. He got exposed again by a good but yet to be determined great UGA defense. I'll reserve my judgement til after Saturday when they face one of the better offenses in the country. We're not one of the better offenses in the country right now.. That's why this year will be a dog fight..

I seriously think we’re going to crush them. Like 41-17. And the last TD will be in garbage time. It’s going to be bad.

Terry Wilson sucks. Going to load the box to stop the run and dare them to throw. Their secondary is awful. Receivers are going to be open all day. Our O-line is going to maul their D-line and LB’s. Easy W on Saturday and I’ll be shocked if we win by less than 20 points.

I would not want to be their D-line on Saturday. I say our O-line comes out with blood in their eyes.

I think UK’s QB is underrated. Not saying he’s top in the SEC but he’s better than he gets credit for
