The Vols of Tennessee (5-2) (2-2) travel up I-75 to come to Lexington to take on the Wildcats of Kentucky (5-2) (2-2). Tennessee coming off a 34-20 on the road at Alabama. The Cats were off this week and had a bad home loss to Missouri on Oct. 14 38-21. The have one common opponent so far this season in Florida who beat Tennessee at home 29-14. The Cats defeated Florida in Lexington 33-14 on Sept. 30. The Cats will have to play much better on the offensive side of the ball to have a shot in this one. The game is scheduled on ESPN with a 7:00pm kick. Go Cats!!

This one's a crap shoot.   Based on today, if first half Tennessee shows up, UK has no chance.  If 2nd half UT shows up, Tennessee has no chance.    I'll take an angry Vols team in a close one.

Cats 28

Vols 27

Tennessee 34-17

UK at home with 2 weeks to prepare.

Tenn. 2 straight road games.

I think this sets up for UK to win.

I just don't see how UK wins this game.  They aren't going to be able to just ground and pound Tennessee into submission.  If the Cats had a passing attack worth something then I'd dwell more on if they had a chance but Tennessee should win this game by at least 10 points.

Kentucky 27-24.

Stoops is promising an air attack this week that will go along with their run game.

Problem is I don't see Will Levis, Andre Woodson, Jared Lorenzen, or Mike Hartline walking through that door.

I'll take the Vols.

Stoops has promised a lot of things on the field that haven’t come to fruition, I just hope we look prepared and play a clean game on special teams for a change!!

Well first Punt by Berry another high school like punt of only 36 yards.

Not a good start at all. A three and out and a poor punt and a missed tackle leading to a run of 52 yards and a Tennessee touchdown and the Cats are down 7-0 less than 5 minutes in. With the Cats passing game they cannot afford to get behind very much and have to start throwing it all the time.

It just got worse.  Could this be a knockout punch already?

I'm having flashbacks from last night's game @theguru?
