FB: Does Kentucky Beat Tennessee?

[Farsight Clone]

I want to so bad but this could be the game we lose.

I'm going to keep the streak going of guessing the exact score.

27-21 Cats

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Yes, by at least a TD.

 

[UKCowboys]

27-17 Bad Guys

 

[TheResistance]

UK 27 UT 24

 

[Snarks]

Obviously hope we do, but with our history there I can’t pick us to win. Not to mention it’s going to be a wild atmosphere there

 

[Bigtyrone]

I’ve seen us lose in so many flukey ways, I’m never that confident about the game.

 

[Battle_Cat]

It will be a W.

 

[BBNinSCar]

I’m confident we win a close one. Coach Stein has had 2 weeks to prepare a gameplan for Tennessee and that will be the difference.
If Kentucky wins this game it will completely change the National narrative for the Cats.

In 2018 we lost to a bad UT team after the Georgia debacle. Still a little scarred but I think theirs a new mentality now.

The year we lost to UT when Cobb didn’t even touch the ball still chaps my butt.

but then we beat them with a WR (no Bowden) playing QB. Lol

 

[Bigtyrone]

I agree,

I agree, but it’s more instinctive than logical.

I don't know if the numbers back this up, but it seems like Stoops was historically bad out of the bye week. I think we're all anxious to see how Stein does out of his first bye week, albeit this is against an angry top 15 ranked UT team at their place, so stakes are different. With Stein saying "this is a work week", i love the mentality and the message that sends to the kids that though we've been extrememly successful so far, this isn't over and we have higher goals and aspirations.

With that being said, Tennessee has everything to prove and an incredible home atmosphere will lift them over a really good Kentucky team. I think the crowd causes some mistakes, likely a turnover or two and that'll be our demise in this one. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[chroix]

Can't wait to watch it happen.

 

[Runt#1969]

I'm gonna say it like my poppa used to tell me :

"I'll settle for a one point win!"

Go Big Blue !

 

[MonsterMash79]

Just can’t trust our secondary against their receivers, unfortunately..

 

[SenseMaker_Cats]

100% agree.

 

[legalbeagle123]

100% agree.

 

[legalbeagle123]

Gonna be tough to get out of there with a win, but I won't be surprised at either outcome.

 

[Global Havok]

We keep winning every time I vote no, so I'll keep voting no.

 

[FLBBNFAN]

I am reasonably optimistic. It will be a tough environment but we have several road wins and come from behind wins so the guys shouldn't be overwhelmed. Just have to avoid a early knockout and settle in.

 

[bigblueinsanity (the real)]

They aren't a good passing team this season. Its more like the team heupel had when Milton was there. Their qb play is pretty bad regardless of who they put back there. This year they're winning with defense.

Like another poster said, by most logical measures we should win this game. We beat three other road teams better than UT already. Our doubts are just ghosts of the past. The good thing about mass roster turnover is lots of guys have no ghost when it comes to UT.

That said, its still an insanely tough place to play and they are desperate to win and stay in the race. I think we will lose by 10 or less but still lose.

 

[Cleatortoises]

We hammer those low down snitches.

 

[BGCATFAN83]

Well I expect if its tied or close in 4th we see the SEC refs take over. Flags everywhere and if we do win in Knoxville we will be ranked top 5 next Tues when CFP is released. Im putting my house payment on Tennessee and if I gotta pay for a win then no problem. Go Cats

 

[UKWildcats1987]

UT has to win this game. Season's over if they lose.

This game doesnt doom UK one bit if we lose. Florida and Missouri will determine our fate.

We have more margin for error to take a loss so not gonna stress much over this one.

We could be winless and I'd stress over it. I hate Tennessee more than Louisville.
