Based on body of work so far, Kentucky is the tougher out. They’ve played Florida and Georgia tough plus they manhandled Mizzou head-to-head, 29-7. Mizzou has lost to a couple softies; Vandy and Wyoming.
I’m convinced they’re so much better at home because their home crowd/environment is so weird and unlike other SEC venues. The noise is about like a Spring Game at Florida or Tennessee, people sitting on some goofy grassy knoll in one of the end zones, the stands are way off the field. It’s the noon Saturday start phenomenon, where everyone shows up half asleep including the players, but it’s noon all day long there.
I cant disagree with what Jaws had to say, but I feel Mizzou has the better shot at beating us.
Someone mentioned in a different thread that Pruitt is good at taking a one dimensional team and making them pay because of it. He did it last year to Kentucky and they were better last year than this one.
I feel Mizzou has the better throwing Qb that can run if he needs to. We haven't done well against those teams recently.
Missouri will be tougher! I like Tennessee’s chance against a 1 dimensional Kentucky team with what’s starting to happen on defense! Plus, if Tennessee is back (or on its way back) Kensucky don’t beat Tennessee!!!!!
Kentucky will be looking for payback for last year.... If we can play the same we have the last 3 weeks, Mizzou doesn't stand a chance... Either way, WGWBTFA!!!!
Kentucky is one dimensional so I believe that is the easier of the two. The defense has held up against running teams lately especially one dimensional teams.
Kentucky game is all about how we handle them in the trenches and containing Bowden.
Mizzou is hard to gauge but they have blown two games in which they are favored and they are on the cusp of "packing it in." Their motivation could be down because they are bowl ineligible. They also have the gauntlet of Florida and Georgia prior to our game.
I am so sick of watching footage of Mason dancing around after beating Tennessee. On November 30, I want to see the cameras on him trudging off the field with his head down.
