They are #3 in 3rd down defense. We are 135th out of 138 teams in 3rd down conversion rate at 26.9%.

Recipe for disaster. But we got this...right?
I always think this, the margin for error for us against a good, he even good'ish team, is extremely slim. I think we've been extremely fortunate, but often times good fortune is born from great execution and decision-making. I don't, by any means, think this is an easy W. I do think it's a very winnable game though. There's something to be said for a team and staff just finding ways to win games, and this group certainly seems to have that.

I think Kentucky has been fortunate but they haven’t played their best. Finding a way against LSU and Carolina while not playing perfect tells me a lot. Go CATS!

Definitely need to keep it 3rd and short so Venables can't dial it up. He and that defense are elite. Our defense needs to be able to keep Matear in the pocket. If they let him run, he's a whole different player.
