I think Arky falls flat on their face again and is the only west team to not make a bowl, State wins 6 and Auburn gets 7.

They still need a QB

That game last year took 3 years off my life. Anyone acting like we stomped y'all wasn't watching the game.

I don't think JFF will have that many turnovers this tear though.

I agree, if their defense isnt up to snuff I dont think they can score enough to beat you.

Kiel Frazier will be a lot better in Gus' system. He has a good offensive mind teaching him how to play QB in the right system. I think he's going to be a surprise player.

Daaaang!! Brutal stretch there for the Wildcats!!


It really is. But I feel a little bit better about our depth this season at key positions to survive those three games (survive =/= win ).

I'm most excited about Josh Clemons returning at RB after his redshirt post-knee injury. He looked good in the spring game and could break through. He put up around 70 on LSU's D in '11 before he went down as a freshman. And that was without much of a line.

I don't either. We've got to force turnovers when we play y'all or we will get curb stomped.

Point taken. If they can figure that out, they could surprise.

His arm strength is questionable

True but in that system it's not essential that he throws the ball 50 yards 10 times a game. It's all screens, dump passes, and the option.

Also readjusting to a system is harder than people think especially for QBs and OLine

I agree. I think Malzahn is enough of an offensive guru that if anyone can get their team adjusted to the system in their first year, it's him. Freeze did an incredible job doing that last year. I was shocked at how well those big Nutt offensive linemen did in the spread.

Kiehl Frazier? He's got a cannon, just limited accuracy...

And when I say "limited", I mean none at all.

Meh, he'll just suck a little bit less in Gus Malzahn's system. That's assuming he even wins the job (count me in as thinking he doesn't). I'm a firm believer that Nick Marshall was recruited to eventually start.

My boss is a huge Kentucky Wildcats fan...he is really excited about this upcoming season! And I was really impressed with the # of ppl y'all had show up for the spring game!! Just pleeeease don't be the team that we "shite the bed" against this year...it's the best team and best schedule we've ever had to actually make the goal of winning the SECCG a reality!

Just a hunch. It's at UK, and I don't think you guys were that much better than them last year. No offense. I don't think there's a large talent differential (excluding DGB of course)
