The loss last year was inexcusable because FSU wasn't very good. Same would apply this year. But it's at home and Bama will have a couple of games to feel things out.
But FSU is not a top 25 team. That's a silly thing to say.

The wife and in laws are FSU alums…can’t listen to another year of this shite. I need a win…
We'll win. It just comes down to HOW we win. If we come out ready to kick arse and take names, we can kick their arse.
If we come out looking at how they're unranked, and think we can just show up and win, it could be an ugly day for us.
I'm also worried about injuries. We had a lot of guys get beat up vs. them last year.
It's really just a shitty game to have on our schedule. It does nothing to help us.

To be fair he was responding to the other poster that said FSU is a top 25 team and better than half the SEC teams we play this year along with having a great QB.
I don’t think any of those statements are true (especially the QB being great) but I still think it can be a tough game

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't Ashton Daniels take us to the wire last year in the Iron Bowl and throw for almost 300 yards?
I checked, it was 18/39 for 259, 1 td and 1 int.
You really claimed this dude is a great QB. Are you sure about that?

Calm down bud, I agree with his premise in general… I should’ve clarified.

He threw for 259 on 39 attempts, but half of those yards came on 2 passes where Malcolm Simmons made great plays. Also, it was the Iron Bowl, where Auburn practices black magic on the field before the game.

I'm saying they're a top 25 team, they played like one vs. SMU
You could very well be right. Who knows. They do have some good players. But SMU tried their hardest to give the game away to FSU, and FSU still couldn't get it done. At home.

if we don't show up fired up and ready to go, it has the potential to be a 60-minute bullshite ugly game.
Can't disagree with that.

That almost is doing 44 yards worth of work. He threw for 256. He only completed 46% of his passes and threw a pick. He sucks as a passer.
As for them playing like a top 25 team. That's laughable. Top 25 teams win at home when the other team turns the ball over 4 times.

The game where they took a #17 SMU to the wire
I didn’t watch the game, but looking at the team stats, I would’ve assumed SMU beat them by 20+ points. Then I saw why they didn’t. They turned the ball over 4 times to FSU’s 1. FSU seems like they’re a one dimensional offense that can’t pass very well and a defense that can’t defend the pass very well. I think our run defense will force them to throw a lot on 3rd and long situations. That spells disaster for FSU with our secondary. I’d predict that game 42-10 Bama.
Since this is a thread about Kentucky. I’ll say Bama wins a 35-13 type game. Close at half and Bama pulls away late

I thought this thread was about Kentucky but the new guy can't do nothing but throw shite post against the wall.
Laguna, do you watch football high or drunk or both? Serious question

Damn, you guys had me second-guessing my evaluation.
But guess what? Apparently The Film Guy agrees with me, so HA

Did you watch them Monday night?
They can't cover the middle of the field for shite. BAMA is going to drag FSU.
But first... uk

New head coach, army of transfers, probably kept it close to the vest in week 1 against an overmatched FCS team.
Think we are going to have to show up ready to play, whether the first quarter and then take control. Hoping the defense dominates field position and we can get a quick score, but history tells me this will follow most of our road games like this. Hopefully we find a way to win.

I watched Stein's press conference. I see why UK fans are excited.
He gave Deboer a lot of praise.
He said that he took some of Grubbs plays and added to his play book. Mentioned some things that Grubb added since coming back from the NFL.
Nick Sheridan is one of his good friends.

I shot from the hip with 27-20 Alabama in the prediction thread. Tonight I’ll watch some highlights of their opener and see how I feel about that. Ha!
Defensively hard to know what Kentucky’s got. Youngstown St was a pure option spread team where many passes are off option fakes. Lots of speed option setups to get a fake to pass. YSU got some big passes but it’s clear Kentucky was play option first.
Offensively, their QB can run and has a decent arm. Got to keep him in the pocket and collapse the pocket into him. TEs got involved a bunch.

so our team will likely be sleeping on them (FSU) a little bit.
I genuinely cannot fathom that.
Florida State could come into Tuscaloosa winless and I'd still expect the Tide to be clawing at the locker room door for revenge after the humiliation of last year.
Coach should have the shortest pregame speech of the season: "Boys, you know your job today.... make it hurt."

I am not worried about their offense - its their DLine I am concerned about
Posted on 9/9/26 at 7:32 am to Diego Ricardo
They typically have a good DL so I imagine the running game won’t be wide open. Our defense should be good against them, their QB is mobile. Have to watch out for him. Russell needs to be careful on the backyard plays, don’t need turnovers. Just get out with a win. Win by 10 I think.

According to GMac, UK put all of their NIL into the offensive line. He says they should be their best group just based on spending. I feel like our defense as a whole is good enough to stand up to most any offensive group. I expect our offense (as long as something doesn't go haywire early) to be able to move the ball quite a bit on UKs defense.

Their only good player is the TE #81. If you take him away, you take away their whole offense.
QB is mediocre.
Defense is Charmin soft. If we're ever gonna be able to run the ball, we should be able to push them around pretty good.
I think overall, not only do we massively out-talent Kentucky, we also matchup really well against them. This is why I say it will be an onslaught, and I don't think their crowd will be too much of a factor in a morning game. We should be able to come out and score TDs at will, and be able to get pressure on their QB.
If we can pile it on early, we can put this game on ice.
Kentucky should be an SEC bottom-feeder this year. Possibly the worst team in the conference.
