KY fans may DEFINITELY think they are on par with Bama but not LEGITIMATELY. Even if you were to say Bama is a bit down, they had one of the top Defenses in the country before that game and Bryce Young played like he was possessed.
KY has a decent Defense and they have a supposed Heisman candidate for a QB, so I can see how they think they will do well. They just dont get it though. In Neyland, with Tillman AND Hyatt, our O will score probably every single time they get the ball. I mean, we have only punted 3x in SEC play this year.
And while our secondary sucks, the D frontline is some mean and nasty critters who can break a QB in half. I havent heard any stories of wonder about their Oline.
Unless we crap the bed, kitties are going to have a very bad day I think. Its always been bad but I think Neyland is just off the charts right now for opposing teams. Consider you are a young man coming into that. Its got to be like the gladiator scene entering the colosseum - but YOU are the slave about to get executed. Zip, Zip Zip, And by the time you settle down to play, TN is already up by 3 scores and you are playing from far behind and your strategies just went out the window.
