UK will be a different team next season.

Louisville, too.

 

UK really needs to beef up to prevent Louisville from running away with it in Lexington. Outside of the end-around for Harry Douglas, there was no Bobby Petrino razzle-dazzle on offense last season. Louisville ran it down UK's throat, with the occasional play action pass. On offense, UK couldn't establish any kind of running game. Part of that was getting down so far so quick, but that wasn't all of it.

 

I don't think Louisville will win the game in the first 10 minutes like they did last year and there are some solid arguments on why it will at least be an athletic contest, but at this point hope is all you really have to point to to say Kentucky will beat actually beat Louisville.

I don't see the sixth win outwright, however, I hope it happens. I had a blast in Nashville this year.

Really, this is getting old. You need to hook up with the smart guys in Vegas and let them know they are going to set the line way too low...

UK will be competitive, will be in the game throughout, and will have a chance to win if they don't turn the ball over. My last post on the subject until football season gets here.

Uh, what part of what I posted did I imagine?

I repeat, what part of what I posted did I imagine? I was stating facts (Louisville ran the ball wherever and whenever they wanted this past September, and Kentucky ran for 22 total yards.)

Louisville returns too much on offense. I really can't get a view of it any other way. I think Kentucky will score a bit themselves (the JUCOs may not be quite meshed in scheme-wise until BE play starts) but I think Louisville will stop UK more than the other way around.

I forgot, you still base predictions on what will happen 8 months from now on what happened last year.

Since Louisville returns almost all of an offense that had their way with Kentucky last season, I think it's an important tool for evaluation.

 

And yes, I know, bigger faster stronger. But just remember that Anthony Allen will be, too.:ylsuper:

I give Louisville all the credit in the world. Another important tool for evaluation should be how much UK improved throughout the year, and they will be even better. You seem to be doing 99% of your evaluation on one game last year. It's a fallacy, and a common one.

Louisville also improved throughout the year, particularly in the passing game.

 

I'm not discounting the fact that things change. But you're discounting the fact that not everything does. At this point, the matchups favor Louisville, by a good margin. Louisville will have, across the board, the advangtage when their offense lines up against Kentucky's defense. I think that Kentucky will have an advantage against Louisville's pass defense but be at a disadvantage to Louisville's rush defense. This, to me, will translate into an inability to sustain drives, much as they could not this past September. UK will have downfield scoring, but I don't think they're the machine Louisville is on offense. And I know I'd rather have Louisville's defense than UK's.

 

But we're clearly getting hung up on one game over the entire schedule. I agree with CR's analysis, although I'm rooting for UK to get that 6th win to end the season against the Vols.

That's just not true, but we aren't going to agree. Trust me on this, it will be a great, hard-fought game. Mark this post. One other thing, I always feel bad after this game, and basketball, for whichever team loses. Got a lot of pleasure out of the WVU win, and the Orange Bowl too...hope for a repeat...

Now I have to quit talking about this and focus on what a sucky b-ball team the Cats have...

I don't see them having a chance against Florida and LSU. I think the cats will be a big underdog pick, but they have a chance against Louisville, South Carolina, Arkansas, Georgia, and Tenessee. However, like I stated earlier, none of these games are even close to being a clear sixth win.

As long as they end up better than UC.

UK needs a poster with a man crush on Andre Woodson to compete with 02Ram. I see Brohm's face so much in this thread it feels like he is amongst us!

 

UK will probably lose to Louisville, but I predict the Cats close the gap.
