2007 UK football Sched. and Predict.

[mobaar]

Is it me, or is UK got a much harder schedule next year?

 

No.. this year was definately an easy schedule for UK as far as getting wins. (yes.. their sagarin ranking is high, their road schedule was brutal, blah blah)

 

 

Sat., Sept. 1 EASTERN KENTUCKY - Home

LOCK (1-0)

 

Sat., Sept. 8 Temple - Away

LOCK (2-0)

 

Sat., Sept. 15 LOUISVILLE - Home

Depends on Bush/Brohm IMO. Loss (2-1)

 

Sat., Sept. 22 FLORIDA ATLANTIC - Home

LOCK (3-1)

 

Sat., Sept. 29 Arkansas - Away

Loss (3-2)

 

Sat., Oct. 6 South Carolina - Away

Could go either way, but I think UK gets revenge. (4-2)

 

Sat., Oct. 13 LSU - Home

Will be closer than this year, but LSU is good. (4-3)

 

Sat., Oct. 20 FLORIDA - Home

Leak is gone, but its still Florida. (4-4)

 

Sat., Oct. 27 MISSISSIPPI STATE - Home

LOCK (5-4)

 

Sat., Nov. 10 Vanderbilt - Away

Not a lock, but the Cats get the win (6-4)

 

Sat., Nov. 17 Georgia - Away

Georgia gets revenge at home. (6-5)

 

Sat., Nov. 24 TENNESSEE - Home

Eric Ainge will be dangerous next year. (6-6)

 

So 6-6 is pretty reasonable, and they get a shot at win #7 in a bowl game. If they play like they did against Clemson, they've got a shot at picking up an extra win or two in there somewhere (UofL, LSU, UGA, or UF).

Sat., Sept. 1 EASTERN KENTUCKY - Home

-Big win...56-20 W

 

Sat., Sept. 8 Temple - Away

-Bigger win....60 - 14 W

 

Sat., Sept. 15 LOUISVILLE - Home

-Closer than some think, though they lose a toughie....39-28 L

 

Sat., Sept. 22 FLORIDA ATLANTIC - Home

-Another easy win....42-21 W

 

Sat., Sept. 29 Arkansas - Away

-McFadden goes nuts...35-17 L

 

Sat., Oct. 6 South Carolina - Away

-Coin Flip...I think USC wins at HOME...35-33 L

 

Sat., Oct. 13 LSU - Home

-TOO much Tigers...35-20 L

 

Sat., Oct. 20 FLORIDA - Home

-Close, but not enough... 24-17 L

 

Sat., Oct. 27 MISSISSIPPI STATE - Home

-Bag on top...45-20 W

 

Sat., Nov. 3 Open

---------

 

Sat., Nov. 10 Vanderbilt - Away

-Another big win...39-16 W

 

Sat., Nov. 17 Georgia - Away

-Revenge for the 'Dawgs...31-28 L

 

Sat., Nov. 24 TENNESSEE - Home

-Another tough, tough loss in this series...21-19 L

 

 

 

-So I guess I see 5-7, UNLESS their defense is 100% better...we shall see, they may, get to a bowl game, but there is no way that they are better than 7-5.

 

I'm inclined to agree here. They'll have to win a swing game to make a bowl game, with the most likely one being at South Carolina. As odd as it sounds, the second most likely game for them to win would be when they host Tennessee. They'd better beat South Carolina.

EKU-W

Temple-W

U of L-L

FAU-W

Arkansas-L

South Carolina-W

LSU-L

Florida-L

Miss State-W

Georgia-W

Tenn-L

 

This schedule is tougher than this seasons, I see UK at 6-5 but a few of those L's could be toss ups.

 

Looks good to me Python.:thumb:

[just 4 fun]

I think 7-5, same as this year....They should win 1)Eastern Ky, 2) Temple, 3) Vanderbilt, 4) Florida Atlantic, 5) Miss St, 6) S.Carolina, 7) either Louisville or Tennessee...I can't see them beating LSU, Florida, even at home or Georgia, Arkansas, on the road...

That is what I think too, but UK always has a way of losing one they shouldn't and winning one they shouldn't. I see USC,Tennessee and Georgia as games they might win or lose.

[Lucky Charms]

I'd say 8 wins on that schedule assuming everyone stays healthy.

[EJHS Fan #98]

Eastern Kentucky-W

Temple-W

UL-W

FAU-W

Arkansas-L

USC-W

LSU-L

Florida-L

MSU-W

Vandy-W

Georgia-W

Tennessee-W

 

I see Kentucky playing hard in every game even though I picked Kentucky to be 9-3 I think that they can win every one of these games.

[T-CAT4LIFE]

To early to speculate really, not knowing who will be here next year. But I will say it looks like a bowl favorable schedule again.

[RockPride]

I can't believe how many people think that they are going to beat Louisville now. Louisville is flat dominating this series, and their offense should be sick again next year, add that to an improved defense...come on folks.

[SouthernSportsFan]

How would their offense be sick again? They'll likely lose Brohm and Bush, and if they keep Brohm, Woodson is a better quarterback.

[All Tell]

Woodson is a better quarterback.

:creepy: :creepy: :creepy: :laugh:

[SouthernSportsFan]

Statistically, I'm right.

[SouthernSportsFan]

Woodson:

QBRa--Comp---Att----Pct----Yds---Y/A---Yds/G--TD----Int

107.2--264----419---63.0---3515---8.4----270.4--31-----7

 

Brohm:

106.9--175----279---62.7---2738---9.8----273.8---16-----5

[All Tell]

Then why aren't we seeing Woodson projected as a high draft pick this year. If it was true then

They'll likely lose Brohm and Bush

this statement is totally false. Woodson's numbers came against a schedule that was bought and paid for to get him gaudy numbers, nothing more , nothing less. Brian Brohm has never lost a head to head game against Andre Woodson and there is no reason to believe that trend will change in the near future.

 

While you're crunching numbers how about taking into acount that Brian missed a few games.

I'm a big UK fan, and I don't see it. I also don't see beating UT. UT is returning Ainge who is extemely talented.

 

If anything, Florida and LSU will have new QBs, and Georgia will be relying on Stafford who'll be a sophmore.

 

Tebow will be good at Florida, but will be tested more when he can't rotate in and out.

 

If UK continues the improvement from this year, its POSSIBLE that they'll beat ANY team on the schedule. But next years schedule is tougher than this years, and 9 wins will be quite an accomplishment.
