Title: I think Kentucky might get b-slapped Post by: BanditVol on October 19, 2014, 12:28:01 EDT Or at least lose. Here's why...they haven't played ANYONE yet. Yes, they were close against UF and beat USC jr in Colombia. Those are big improvements over "the usual Kentucky". But look at their other opponents...UT Martin, UL Monroe (122nd in offense!), Vandy (the old lousy Vandy), and Ohio (117th in offense!).
So there is an article on the UK ESPN team page that says "Kentucky bringing strong defense to LSU". Yeah right! A D2 school, two teams in the bottom 10 of the NCAA in offense, Florida and Vandy! The only decent offense they have faced is South Carolina, who hung 38 on them. Again, the win at USC is very good by usual UK standards, even though Carolina suxes this season, but I really think LSU is the toughest team they have faced this year and might really embarrass them. I am less worried about UK than I was....had no idea their schedule was that weak so far.

I've been thinking the same thing lately, especially when I see people try to compare Butch and Stoops, and point to the W-L record as Stoops being "ahead" in UK's rebuilding project. If we had played their schedule, we'd have the same record as them. They're improved, for sure. And I think they might even give LSU a good game, if not beat them outright. But that still won't prove much. LSU isn't very good this year.

But that still won't prove much. LSU isn't very good this year. Two things...LSU has improved this season (as usual, I underestimate Miles all the time) and LSU is the best team UK has faced this year and it's in Baton Rouge. I think LSU wins easily. I do think Kentucky might keep it close for 3 quarters, and/or lose by a respectable margin, but I just think LSU could win big at night in Baton Rouge. It's a game worth keeping on eye on for sure, as I think it's the toughest test UK has had yet. |
