UK opens at -3. I guess Vegas doesn’t even know what they will get out of us. And Uk is in a must win situation

We have aTm and Bama after Kentucky, so this is pretty much a must win for us too

Im sure KJ is watching film all week and saying I eonder why I didn't see those open guys instead of the recievers in triple coverage. Maybe I should skip the interviews and put in a little more work

It’s a very winnable game. If we can stop the run then they won’t do much offensively. Just have to stop turning the ball over. Their pass defense has been really bad through two games. We’ll see what it’s like with a zone but still.

Our Defense can not be "Lost" on coverage in Lexington this Saturday.

We will have to 3 yard run, 4 yard pass, etc. down the field against a 3-8 Kentucky Defense and execute at a high level each offensive snap. So we just simply can NOT blow a coverage and give up easy long plays against Kentucky.

I think we win Saturday. KY's defense is terrible and they're not a strong passing team, so that plays into our defense's strength.

This. Maybe he was reminded that we didn't win the CFP after a full season of putting up record breaking stats. Was just a solid week 1 game against LSU, whose coach had been busy with interviews and chasing the siren song of national media interviews himself the week prior.

Defense only gave up 14 points....I would take that every game.

Better teams will not stop at 14 points. We haven't seen a great offense yet, but still have receivers running wide open. Our secondary is very suspect. 3-8 zone might help us. Maybe.
