Most of my Vol brethren doesn't give UK much of a chance. I like this UK team and it will be closer than you ranters think!
I don’t think Kentucky is a bad team, I just don’t think they match up well. A run first team will struggle against UGA because that’s what UGA’s defense is designed to stop. Maybe Kentucky has a great passing attack and just hasn’t needed it yet. Assuming Tennessee’s passing attack isn’t fools gold, I think they’d match up better against UGA.

I think they matchup as well in the trenches as anyone possibly could. Combine that with the fact that we run quite a bit of pro-style play action and I will say it is a matchup that UGA hasn’t quite encountered this season themselves.

Arkansas was a run first team that’s great in the trenches and they got dunked on. I’m not saying Kentucky has no chance because every team has a chance in every game. More so just saying a run first team plays into UGA’s strength. If it was UGA’s secondary that was elite and front 7 unproven then the match up would be in favor of Kentucky.

Being run first is one thing but Kentucky is run first and well renowned for their OL. We’ve got 6yr seniors, future pros, and guys heading out at the top of the conference on our OL. I understand UGA is a different beast but what I’m arguing is that you’ve got a more formidable opponent in the trenches on your hands.

And again, we run an under center single back offense for a good majority of our possessions. A lot of motions, playactions, and TE involvement. Things that throw slight hesitations on defense and create seams that Chris Rodriguez has proven to get more out of than any other back in the conference. Not saying these will lead to victory. Nor is any UK fan.
What we’re refusing to fall victim to is saying we are carbon copies of what you dominated with Arkansas. Totally different methodology to how we run the ball.

So why does Arkansas have better rushing stats despite already playing uga?

Don’t think anyone’s discrediting Kentucky .. You guys have a nice team but the depth isn’t there to hold up . Georgia’s backups on the front 7 are better then 99% of any teams starters

That's fine I guess, but the truth is we are the best team you will play all season, and aside from whatever Florida team you play after us
I have no idea why you think uk is clearly better than Arkansas or auburn and that Florida win was quite flukey.

Kentucky plays a possession offense. Much more methodical with fewer plays. Arkansas has about 50 more rushing attempts but averages fewer yards per attempt. Proving that fact, Kentucky has the SEC’s leading rusher.

What an odd reaction. I throw shade at Auburn and you attack Kentucky. Why so insecure?
The point is, UK hasn’t played a tough schedule either, which diminishes your point about auburn.

I’m not saying Kentucky is bad. Just that the matchup is bad for Kentucky. UGA is allowing around 50% of opponents rush average and 75% of opponents pass average. Great rushing teams are just more impacted by elite defenses than great passing attacks are.

Stoops has given up over 30 points like 4 times in the last 4 seasons. Two of those games against ole miss and Bama last year. It confuses me why they think they’ll score at will.
You don’t have to score at will to get 30. See uga 2018 at Kentucky. We fumbled twice in scoring range and still got 34.

You know now that I start to type that out I kinda see what you mean. I concede the point.

This game is just as big for Georgia as it is for Kentucky. We’re rolling in there playing with house money. No pressure on the cats.
This makes no sense. The pressure is on both due to the magnitude of the game. Sec east title game.

Take the uga game out of that to be more fair and what do get?

That’s just one aspect of pressure. Plenty of pressure for UK to deal with. Yall very rarely have game day around. Y’all rarely play games of this magnitude. The last time y’all were in a game like this, uga beat y’all down.

Herbstreit and Corso officials? Why does that matter to anything?
But by all means, find something to post.

Game day elevates the moment, and thus adds pressure. It’s the game of the week. Y’all wouldn’t know much about it.
