Lose this one, and we staring at 1-4
Anyone that bets that line is a fool. There's no telling what happens next Saturday. You couldn't pay me to offer at that line. We could win by 20 because Leach adjusts and Kentucky is unprepared or we could struggle again and it be a close game that goes either way.
Well Ill say 2 things:
1) our D has been solid and the weakness (secondary) isn't something Kentucky can exploit well. I think they'll struggle to put up points.
2) Kentucky's secondary is trash. I know in zone that doesn't matter so much, but it's still something
Heck if we just eliminate the turnovers we should be just fine. Can we? Guess we'll find out.
I think we get better this week and play better Saturday.
Our players have seen exactly what they're up against now and will learn and improve.
We're on the right path. Just have to continuously progress.
I was there yesterday and for whatever reason, the game atmosphere felt like a spring scrimmage with the 25% capacity. Energy was fine for the amount of people, but it just seemed like the players took longer to get amped up. The away team always has some internal motivation, while the home team relies on the crowd some. Might explain what happened last week in BR too. Our guys went in with something to prove and subconsciously knew going in, they could not depend on the crowd for energy.
The mind is habitual, and the abnormality of everything going on, throws off the mental norms. Especially the first time something happens during all of this. I may be completely off on this, but the energy just wasn?t there. Hopefully they increase the capacity limits soon.
I understand homes teams have played well so far. Yesterday just felt like being in some weird movie where nothing made sense. From no people even around the stadium a few hours before kickoff to not seeing a single tailgate tent. Felt like a dream where everything does not make sense but you know it should be making sense and can?t figure out why it isn?t.
I think the team will do better this weekend. They were feeling invincible to some degree after beating the national champions and were brought back down to earth by Arkansas. It's up to Leach to straighten the team out, and up to KJ to straighten himself out.
We also have a lot of things we can work on. After LSU we didn't have as much. We also have an idea of how to improve when they give us a zone defense which I imagine we will see a lot of in the next few years.
I don?t think gamblers should ever bet on Leach in either direction. I could see us beating Bama and losing to Missouri at this rate.
I would not touch this game. Really have no clue what to expect. Kentucky has not looked good but they do have a strong running game. We are a total wildcard on both sides of the ball right now.
I do think we have a great chance to win, but I would not bet money on it. I think it's going to be a close game but I could also see it being a blowout in either direction.
I see a close game in either direction.
I think our run defense has shown it's good enough to slow down UK. As long as we don't turn the ball over like we've been doing, I like our chances, but if KJ comes out and throws 2-3 INTs and another pick-6, we'll see a similar result as this past Saturday. Can't turn the ball over.
