Best defense in SEC history??? Come on now...UF will more then likely win this game, but Kentucky will score. I say 35-21 Gators with the score being closer then the game indicates.

 

I hate the Gators, but what SEC defense was better? That secondary is nasty, Spikes is the best defensive player in the country that is not named Eric Berry, the D-Line is deep and fast. With the mixture they have of talent, speed, coaching, forcing turnovers, experience and just playmaking ability I don't remember an SEC defense that compares. Remember Spikes is hurt right now. When he's on they are nearly impossible to score on. Just ask Oklahoma who statistically speaking was the best offense of all-time. That's just the SEC though. USC's defense last year is comparable, some of the blackshirt d's are maybe a little better, some of the Miami defenses were better like 2001, and the late 80's. But this is an all-time great defense UF has IMO. I don't know if it's the best in SEC history, but it is up there.

 

You have plenty of first rounders on that side of the ball for UF.

I think over the years UK fans have just grown tired of saying this is the year we beat UF, or this is the year we beat UT. What does UF have on UK? 26 straight? Not to mention that on paper this is one of, if not the best UF teams of all-time.

I love UK and Commonwealth, but I don't think it is especially loud, especially when you compare it to Death Valley or the Swamp.

I'm not saying UK cannot win, but I have seen nothing this year that would lead me to believe that UF should not win by a minimum of 2 touchdowns, and that is being generous.

I love the optimism though. I know that I'll be there Saturday hoping for a UK win I just don't think that we as a fan base should expect it.

Better UK teams than this one have lost to worse UF teams than this years squad, if that makes any sense. I think UK's pass defense right now doesn't look good. Brown is trying to create pressure with only the front four, and I don't think that UK can expect for their D-Line to get a lot of pressure on Tebow. Lindley is great, but the rest of the pass coverage has left much to be desired. As for the run game, UK missed alot of tackles against U of L. A missed tackle on Jeffery Demps or Chris Rainey is going to the house.

Offensively, I think UK will be hit and miss. Joker does a good job of balancing his attack, but the key for the Wildcats will be first down. The Cats need a minimum of 3 yards on 1st down, or they are fighting a very, very big uphill battle. Does anyone want to trust Hartline throwing against UF's DB's on 3rd and 8? I don't. UK doesn't have to break big ones, but they must conistently gain yardage.

I hope it's a great game, I want UK to win, but most likely UF will win by a pretty decent margin.

The last time a #1 Team came into Commonwealth....they lost

 

But this is a different story

 

UF 56

UK 17

I don’t understand why any Kentucky fan can say that UK will get beat that bad on their own turf maybe if we were playing in Gainesville i could see it but at commonwealth it's going to be wild and loud, I know Tebow is good but he can't do it all by himself. This is going to be a defensive game who ever forces the most turnovers wins the game whether its Kentucky by a little or Florida, the experts aren’t always right!

Kentucky's defense is nowhere close to UF's...

Gators- 56 Cats-17

While I would love to see Kentucky upset Florida, I just don't think it's in the cards this year.

 

Florida 35

Kentucky 14

UK's only chance is if UF's players who are ill are not 100% on gameday and struggle during the game. UK needs to attack Tebow and don't let him beat you (easier said than done I know). UK has to be able to move the ball.

I hope you are right Hounds:thumb:

UK with 17 votes now 15 more then what Tenn. got.:lol:

This one's over by halftime.

 

Wow. You've got more confidence in the Cats than I do.

I think Terrel Pryor is going to be there doing half time entertainment. thats the only reason I am going to the game. By the way, I think Florida will 60 to 21 even though I hope im wrong.

They will be Saturday. On the same field anyway.
