A real test for this team. A step down from Alabama but probably the third or fourth toughest team on the schedule. Only giving up about 2.8 per rush and averaging over 200 running and passing.
Their weakness has been turnovers, but Uf defense sucks at forcing turnovers.
Last few games in Lexington have all been super close I assume this one will be as well. Can UF tough one out on the road?

I think its close to start and we may even go down against them. But run game will take over and wear them down. Seems to be the MO for this team.
But that damn defense better learn to tackle if they ever want to be a championship program. I attended a local highschool game Friday night and the tackling was 100x better than what I saw on Saturday in the swamp.

I was concerned about this game going into the season, but I think we win by 3 scores. This team has a lot of composure and UK has turned out to be a pretty average team vs. their preseason hype. In their last 3 games, UK has won by 7, 5, and 7 against average to bad teams.

Tennessee's DL was rated 3rd by PFF, and Florida rushed for 283 yards.
Kentucky has played UTC, Missouri, South Carolina, and ULM.
I'd say Kentucky has pretty much played nobody.

Stoops usually does a really good job game planning for us. These games seem to always be pretty close (usually with UK shooting themselves in the foot) - at least that's how it's felt since our OT win in 2014 in The Swamp.
We know Stoops will load the box to stop the run. He's going to make us beat him through the air.
(My) keys to the game:
- Start Fast. It's our first true road game of the year, at night, that will be increasingly hyped up as the week goes on. Take the crowd out of it early.
- QB's. Emory needs to take what they give us (air or ground) and not try to force anything. If he plays like he did the 2nd half of Bama and last week against UT, it should be enough. Mix AR into the game to keep the defense guessing.
- Secondary. Kaiir Elam should be back, which helps. Our secondary needs to attack the football though. Felt like there were several instances against UT where guys pulled up early and didn't finish plays.
