Wow. With basketball season kicking into gear, BCS controversy (go figure. . . .), reflections on the season thus far, and predictions for next year so abundant, the upcoming game with our Blue neighbors to the North seems to have gathered minimal attention.

With losses to talented LSU, Florida, and Louisville squads, and a near-miss against South Carolina, the Wildcats are still looking for a big win this year. Let's not forget that they upset Georgia, albeit kicking a dawg that was already down. I, for one, think that UK will come to town ready for a streak-ending, and very disturbing, upset at Neyland.

They're not afraid to give up points, and I think our D-backs will need to have a big game. However, it will be tough for them to go score-for-score with our offense given a healthier Ainge and too many receiving threats to account for. IMO, the difference in this one will come (take a deep breath) on the ground. Look for Coker and the Vols to have a breakout rushing game.

I for one am NOT overlooking Kentucky.:rock:

Just watched UK lose in Basketball, so I'm ready to go.

I know Kentucky will WANT to spring the upset, but with that D, I don't think they have a chance in hell, and it doesn't matter whether it's the ground game or the passing game for UT.

That's no excuse, kd. C'mon man, game up. It's KY week. :lol:

I believe we need to put up at least 600 yards of offense to consider this game a success. I fully expect it, there's no reason we can't throttle Kentucky's tea party defense.

Every KY fan I've talked to says we should run, run, and run some more. Run on 1st down, run on 2nd down, run on 3rd and 20. They don't seem too confident in the ol run defense.

Too bad that doesn't seem to be our style this year.

That's because we've been getting stuffed by the big ol' DL nasties the good SEC teams have. Kentucky is not a good SEC team. One of our RB's will have a career day.

KY ranks dead last in the nation in total defense...however they have one of the SEC's most potent offenses.

it will be interesting to see how our D approaches this...they have some skill on offense...

After reading all the articles etc...i sort of expect this to be a fairly high scoring game...

Difference being Coker in this one....and we'll get a couple of key turnovers during the game.

Coker probably gets close to 150 this week and Ainge gets somewhere between 280 and 310 with a pair of TD's.

UT 45
UK 30

since it's Senior Day, think maybe Jim Bob Cooter will get to take the first snap? is he even on the roster after his brush with the police?

First snap.....No.

But the way that the Vols should roll over Kentucky, he should be able to play some near the end.

It means they are commiting suicide. Passing game is the only way they can win the game. I believe Tennessee win by 4 TD (at least).
