1. Who is the player we will be praising tomorrow for the Cats?

2. Who is the person we did not hear much about but will be a surprise today?

I am excited but a bit nervous. Youngstown has some talent.

This was one thing I thought Stoops did well, he beat lower competition, I am not saying we killed them but I barely remember more than 1 or 2 losses.

I fully expect UK to win handily but YSU QB is the reigning Walter Payton Award winner (Heisman) and they are ranked 7th in the FCS. This won't be the standard FCS scrub we would normally play. Again, I expect a blowout.
Yeah, from everything I’ve read about them, I expect YSU to score some points. plus, considering they returned so many guys on offense, I wouldn’t be surprised if early in the game, they move the ball and even score more than fans are going to like.

However, last season, their defense wasn’t very good. They brought in some new coaches and transfers, but if Stein has brought the offense we all hope he has, this UK offense will score a lot today.

If the UK defense really stuffs the Penguin offense, I think that will be a VERY good sign moving forward into the season.

I want to say Baxter will be MVP but I wonder if the staff will limit his carries to make sure he stays healthy for next week vs Bama since Barnes is still out?

A surprise MVP on defense could be Aaron Gates, the transfer from Florida. If he is/stays healthy, he can be All-SEC.

Ground game needs fresh legs for next week. I’d take the key guys out sooner than any other group. Let ‘em get a couple chunk plays and scores then let the other guys get some action.

You’re probably right on Baxter and well probably show half of our offense, would love to see Carter get a few carries.

I'm not worried about the offense. Even if it's ugly today. I want to see what the defensive line looks like and entire defense.

I'm not familiar enough with the players to say a surprise MVP. Hopefully we get a good look today.

Is this another game on SEC+? These morons need to cut that nonsense out! I paid an extra 5 or 6 dollars for a 1 day pass and I still don't know if it's gonna work. It is sorta on their schedule but is not giving me the record option.

You should be able to stream your choice of games on SEC+. Just download or open the ESPN app and hit watch, should give you an option to stream it to your tv but I’m not sure if you need a tv provider to do that.

Is there any way at all to get rid of this ridiculous bar at the top of the webpage that has our game score and stories on this site? There's way too much clutter now at the top of this webpage.
