A big weak spot for us.
Real talk:
Kentucky has starting talent everywhere except linebacker. However, we have almost no depth. Once our starters get tired, like in the 4th quarter of the Bama game, we struggle.
To win, we have to keep our offense on the field and LSU off. If we do that , we can win.

Numbers don't lie. They are what they are, but winning with those numbers makes me optimistic as frick that our ceiling is still very high.
So, keep up with those stats bruh...

I will be inconsolable if a Joe Sloan offense beats us.

If Sloan beats LSU this place will be a treasure next week.

The positive for Slaon calling the plays is that he has arguably one of the best play callers in NCAA watching the film with him to put together a game plan in Stein.
So far, the play calling has actually been pretty solid.

Except for 3rd down?

This game will come down to Leavitt & the offense protecting the ball, not turning it over. And taking what the defense gives us. Not going out there and playing hero ball trying to make a play and forcing things. If they do that LSU wins easily and covers the spread!

I think LSU wins comfortably if we establish a running game and lean into it.
Wear down their defense, which hasn't done well against the run, and like you said, protect the ball. Keep their defense on the field and offense off of it.

Well, it's already a treasure. Sloan did something as Kentucky OC that he didn't accomplish at LSU as OC, and that was beat Texas 8&4.

A problem many teams not named Ga., OSU and a few others have. Especially with injuries like LSU has.
