UK Players Just Won't Shut Up

Against cupcakes

Fitz is 55.1% comp for his career. He's 31/47 (66.0%) passing against Kentucky with 2 td in his career. His real damage vs Kentucky is on the ground though... 28 carries 225 yards 4 td

I’m just saying, we are all sure of a blowout. The Kentucky defense is much improved and has depth at every spot. The last couple of years do not matter at all just ask Florida. Hopefully the players are not as cocky as the fans here or we are coming home with a big fat L

Does being "cocky" work against both teams? Seems the underdog is quite cocky too. Let's just assume both teams are cocky... I'll go with the more talented team, and that's state, by far

Yep! Keep bringing it, 7!

What?s your ?give or take? on the KY game, pray tell?

The line is 10. I think State wins by 24+. Kentucky isn't used to this new look State offense and Snell won't be able to run on our front 7.

Lexington when Keeneland is open is a must during football season.

I do think you guys win, but I think it?ll be a great game. If we keep it close all game and get out without any injuries then I?ll take it. You guys, Georgia, and A&M are our toughest games this season. I?d love to steal one of these games, but the odds aren?t in our favor.

Steal the aTm game. Leave ours alone.
I too hope it's a good game and everyone comes out unscathed.
Worst thing is an injury that railroads your season. Hope you guys cough up the ball 7 times Saturday but then go on to win every game after that by 2 TDS.

Kentucky is not improved on defense. They are exactly what they were last year. We are going to score 40 on them, just like we always do. Central Michigan gave them all they wanted for Christ sake.

While it is true that anything can happen when you take your opponent for granted, JOMO has shown so far that he knows bettern that. He and his team have brought the wood all 3 games so far. No reason to think or assume he's gonna quit that.

Kentucky is the same team they were last year but with a slightly better QB. This is the same song and dance we heard last year going into our game with them. They were 5-1 with a loss to Florida in a game they should have won. I believe they had a 10 point lead late in that game and let the name on the helmet get to them. I've watched all three games, and they remind me of us in 2012. They've beaten a big name team that is down and now think they can beat the big dogs. If we don't turn the ball over and not suffer catastrophic injuries, we should beat UK by 3 scores minimum.

Agreed, good post. solid. and btw, EXCELLENT user name dude. GREAT Movie.

Wish I were half as confident. What makes u think they won?t be in the game. We haven?t played any competition to speak of and that makes out qb throwing 40% that much more worrisome

But K State was considered good competition before the season.

Let guess, once we dismantle Kentucky tomorrow, we will have still not played good competition

[Jack Lambert]

I don't think this team is going to over look anyone. They are all veterans and they know they can have a really good season. They are not going to let it slip away regardless. They might get beat but it will not be from over looking someone.

If need be Nick will put this team on his back and break Kentucky's heart. Think about Nick's performances during the BYU and UK losses in '16. He willed us back to win these games only to have Sirmon flush them down the toilet. Nick's a baller, period.

We?ve played you guys tough the past several meetings in Lexington. Played awful during those same years in Starkville, but we?ve historically always have been bad on the road against SEC west teams. This UK team actually has depth on both sides of the ball for the first time under Stoops. It?s going to be a good game.

Our 2016 team wasn't very good. Y'all did overperform in 2014. In 2012, we beat a bad UK team by 13 when we weren't that good. In 2010, we only won by 7 with a pretty good team.

I think this will be the best UK team we've played in a long time, and I would not be shocked at all to see UK cover. Every team is going to have conference games on the road where they just don't play well and if we play poorly, we won't cover. But I'm thinking we will win handily unless we are bit with turnovers. UK's new QB is a big upgrade, but I just don't see anywhere that is a good matchup for y'all. Your strength is still running the ball and that shoudl be hard to do against us. While y'all's defense is fine, even if Fitz is off passing, I think we can jam it down UK's throat running.

Depends on what you call good. Both KState and UK are solid teams. Not good but not cupcakes. When you're talking about being a top 15 team, there just aren't going to be many games on your schedule that tell you how good you are (they can tell if you are worse than believed, but they can't really confirm how good you are). We have A&M, Auburn, LSU, and Bama on our schedule to tell us how good we are (I think in that order although maybe A&M should be higher).
