Oline - huge UT advantage

There's no point in even addressing the rest of your list if you're too insecure to admit Tennessee maybe breaks even at best compared to our offensive line this season.
Both UT and UK have very strong OL coming back this year. I would make that a push in my book.

Which is my point. There’s no “huge UT advantage” there.
Kentucky also returns a very good defense. Likely not a “huge UT advantage” like he claimed there either.

Because kentuckys record vs tn since 1985 is like 2-30 for starters

We find new and more interesting ways to lose to shitty UT teams each year. That said, at least we don’t have an anthropomorphic thumb in charge.

Yeah, it's pretty sad when you think about it.

The problem is that they will not run a gimmick O with a athletic freak at QB this year. They had the advantage of novelty last year. It didn’t help them win games but it did yield a ton of rushing yards. They are not going to average almost 300 yards a game of rushing O this year. A more realistic figure would be closer to 180 a game rushing while hoping Wilson can average 150 in passing. Losing a QB that was averaging 8 yards a carry puts your O in a different position. And returns your Oline to a more reasonable light.

I’ve read two articles this morning with so-called national college football experts picking the order of finish of the SEC and both have TN picked to finish higher than KY. This despite Kentucky’s superior recruiting over the past 2-3 years, and a regular stream of stories about transfers, dismissals from the team, etc. coming out of Knoxville. People act like TN is a major power, or something, but the truth is they are a bottom tier SEC team for a generation now.
Lol

Majority of the OLine returning was the same OLine that helped get Terry Wilson 10-wins two years ago.

They were good in 2018 too. Even as a younger squad.

2884 rushing yards in 2018 with Terry at QB. That is 222 a game including a bowl win over Penn State.
We will spring a new athletic freak from Ohio on the SEC this year.

Not always: that 2007 Tennessee-Kentucky game is a forgotten classic. Looking back I'm conflicted: one hand it gave us an SEC championship since we probably would've lost to UGA, on the other we were stick with Miles years longer than we would've been had UK won. Also, UK was really good that year with Andre Woodson, Jacob Tamme, Wesley Woodyard, etc. they should've been better than 8-5
