re: PFF Grades: Kentucky vs Florida

IF UK wins, does UK finally get respect from UF fans or do they blame it on a fluke or a down year for UF? UK can win the east and never get any respect from non-UK fan bases. I believe some UK fans are taking the hype a little to far on this board, but Stoops and his staff deserve national respect for the changes he has implemented at UK.

I mean, i think given the history, and that UK has only won 2 times since 1980, they are getting a decent amount of respect from Florida fans I have talked with.

It's pretty hard to be respected by a team that routinely DESTROYS you.

Series history

In the last decade, even with the close games the last few years, the average margin of UF victory since 2010 is 33 - 14.6...

So yeah, it's going to take a few more wins before UK is getting respected the same as LSU, UGA, Auburn, etc.

But I mean, the line is like UF -8 right now i think, and I don't think anyone would be surprised if a solid UK squad covered that or won SU.

I think Uk covers the line. This is going to be a tough game either way.

I think both fanbases in this thread have been guilty of being overly dismissive of the other team.

This game will come down to turnovers, field position, and big plays. I think both offenses struggle to drive, but both have the ability to rip off big chunk plays.

If kentucky can run effectively, they could really beat Florida badly, but on the flip side if UF can protect Franks, UF can burn UK just as bad.

Intersting match up.

Gonna co-sign all of this. Good post

dk we’ve had Years where we swept you 3-0 in basketball, we’re your biggest competition there and you still don’t respect us like you should. So probably not.

Correction* - year - singular

But back to football, I think it is interesting to note that Eddie Gran has pretty well negated the pass rush in his 3 times going up in the coordinator battle against Grantham.

Case in point. We’ve had way more success in basketball than y’all have in football. When will you respect our basketball team? Don’t change the subject. Your football program doesn’t deserve respect for one win. GFY and Eddie Gran if you want.

Gran vs Grantham last 3 meetings

So it's either a close win or a total destruction?
