Yes, UF is a young team overall. Gonna take some lumps as they begin to play together. Talent is there

The more quick 3 and out Kentucky can force Florida into the better. I'd crowd the line, show Franks different looks, confuse him and force him into bad decisions. A couple of turnovers can mean the ball game.
I think this is key. Kentucky needs to keep the ball and go on extended drives. Will keep our defense from getting too tired too quick.
We also won't have our best player again this week, so ball control will become even more important.

The only thing that gives Kentucky a chance whatsoever is Florida having so many players suspended and Kentucky is playing at home. Kentucky has n't been able to generate offense against anyone all season. They couldn't even muster more than 27 points and an 11 point win over FCS Eastern Kentucky.
Sure it's possible as Florida hasn't been able to generate offense on anyone either, but Florida beat Kentucky last year 45-7 with Del Rio as QB.
Maybe some Kentucky fans can shed some light as I'll admit I don't exactly keep up with Kentucky's roster, but Kentucky hasn't really had a football team that scared anyone since Woodson was the QB. I think the only real safe bet in this game is that there likely won't be many points scored.

Side note. The first half of the Eastern Kentucky game we played completely uninspired football. The team was flat as hell out of the gate. Kentucky isn't good enough to get away with that.

So can we. Macginnis can boot it from 50+ consistently.

I hear the UK athletic department is installing a new set of goal posts this week that can be quickly snapped open and folded down.

I think UF's secondary will be able to lock down their receivers allowing the D to crowd the box for KY's run game.

Each game is a game into itself. EKU is a pretty decent team and has a lot of D1 players on their squad.

I would not argue with this, but this is by far the best overall team we have had since 2007-9, more depth, and more talent.
As far as tomorrow night, we will have to play the game and see.

Pretty sure we already had those.

I'm sorry - did someone just say Eastern Kentucky is decent?
Posted on 9/22/17 at 11:26 am to LouisvilleKat
Kentucky's receivers can get open; the OL is the big question mark. Sucked against S Miss and EKU, a little better against USCe, but still not very consistent

During the game the ESPN nerd said they have as many 4 and 5 stars in they're secondary as most SEC schools. I have no idea if thats true or not. I do know both their starting wide outs and are transfers from Tennessee, Uconn and the starting RB is from Louisville.

Still no excuse though.

They have had those collapsible goal posts for years.
Please UK, if you beat Florida don't embarrass yourself by rushing the field.
