I surprisingly got over this Alabama loss really quickly. Idk if it’s just I’m getting older and care less, or just used to losing to them, or whatever the reason. But that loss didn’t linger for me

Sadly, I think we're just used to the let down at this point.

I've not followed their season other than noting they took down UF, and truthfully, that did get my attention. Other than the fact that they're physical, rested and at home..which worries me...what are their strengths and weaknesses? How do we match up? Who are their players to watch? Injuries to watch?

Stop the run and make Leary beat you.

This is a 38-13 type of game. Uk is as one dimensional as they come. Leary wouldn’t be 2nd string on any other SEC team. Take away their game against Florida and they are mediocre. I see our defense shutting them down and giving Milton a lot of chances to put up points.

I would say it's a little bit of both. At least it is for me.

For me it was the way it played out in the second half. In years past they would just blast us straight up for 4 quarters and it was clear we didn't have the athletes or the coaching to match them. Now we finally have the coaching and while we're still a little short on athletes, we matched up well with them. This one stung, way more than Florida.

Kentucky is a very 1-dimensional team. Great running game, weak passing game. Our D has done very well against teams like that this season.

That said, they get 2 weeks to prepare for us in Lexington. I honestly think we're quite a bit better than them, but it also sucks playing SEC teams coming off a bye-week. Could be a tough game. We could blow them out. I'm not sure what to expect yet.

Got to get up and move on from last game and get ready for war in Lexington. I agree, we need to stop the run and make the QB beat us. Keep running Joe and hit some big pass plays and put these MildCats to sleep! GO VOLS

They're physical up front on both sides of the ball tho. That concerns me especially after that second half vs bama. Then there's our complete failure in road games this season. Until they prove otherwise, I'm going to expect that they just don't have the mental toughness to handle an SEC road environment.

They have a good team. We better be ready and we better change our offensive play calling or we will have loss #3, THEN we start serious conversation about next season. "Nico, the drive to the top"!

The meltdown overshadows the fact they took them to the woodshed in the 1st half and left points out there. Here's to hoping the passing game has finally clicked.

They schemed a bunch of good looks against UGA on offense but could not execute consistently. Their scheme depends on misdirection. They can also win running counter like they did against UF.

They are a base personnel team on defense, so getting WRs against LBs will be both a possibility and a goal for Tennessee.

UGA beat them by passing to open up the run and getting far enough ahead that UK had to pass a lot. That’s not their game at all. But I felt like their game against us could have been very different if they converted some early drives where a guy was open and Leary missed him.

KY got exposed by the only 2 "good" teams they've played this year, and I'm not sold on Mizzou being actually good either. I think this is the 3rd time in Mark Stoop's career he started 5-0, then they barely win anything when they get into their actual SEC schedule?

I really think the only other loss on our schedule is Georgia, and that is not looking like a foregone conclusion if we can put together a complete game instead of the 1 half that we managed in Tuscaloosa. I'm actually a little more confident after seeing we can put together at least a half of very good football.
