'24 Recruiting Forum: Official Kentucky Pregame/Game Thread

[nicksjuzunk]

I'm going to need to keep this one quick, but let's go. The smoke has lifted from Neyland Stadium following another cigar filled extravaganza against Bama and Tennessee faces off against Kentucky, for what should be the "Battle of the Barrel". This is Danny White's next task... Find Brian Niedermeyer and ask him where he left it. Roll it out, take beer off the name and let's battle.

Keys to Victory:

1. QB or not QB? That is the Question: Kentucky fans were hoping that Brock Vandergriff was the second coming of Will Levis, and he absolutely has been! Putting up Levis like numbers over the season, and yet curiously, they are displeased. Welp, that's the breaks baby. Now, we have the possibility of facing either of two quarterbacks who can't throw the ball, and one who can't throw the ball even worse. It's a nice proposition for the Vols. Vandergriff is a better QB, but is immobile. Gavin Wimsatt is very mobile but has a 4-1 completion to interception ratio. Read that last one again carefully. 8 completions, 2 picks.

2. Click it: The Vols have had a series of near misses on deep balls the last 3 games and the offense has been curiously ineffective. Kentucky does have a solid defense. We are looking at two scenarios here. This is a drag it out game with few points or Tennessee begins to click and absolutely rolls. It's really anyone's guess what happens here.

Prediction:
Tennessee rolls out in black on a gorgeous November evening and the defense has a feast. Kentucky plays both quarterbacks, neither to a great effect and the Vols come up with 2 interceptions. The Tennessee offense is not wide open, but good enough to get the job done. There is progress, but it is not destination.

If you’re not first, you’re last!!

With ya Nick. This offense still has to prove it to me. But at this point we are what we are and so far that’s been plenty.

Vols 100-0, send the kittens back to Kroger for milk.

My only prediction is a shutout by the defense. They are hungry and they are ready.

Vols by fiddy (maybe turdy) but a blowout regardless

Oh and prayers for @nicksjuzunk to find peace and balance in this hectic life. Don't let this thread or this group add to your stress. I will shutup on the topic and I am sure we can wait till kickoff if need be.

They think our offense continues to struggle to start, but a man told me we have made some changes and expects to see us light it up in the 1st half.

I think we will too...may be the game where the O puts it together.

 

[Vols4us]

A couple of weeks to heal and work on timing. Heup is strong with the O scripting. Nico is more confident. Boat race time.

45-10 Vols

 

[TN-POSSUM]

THANKS @nicksjuzunk!!!




DARK MODE MEANS LIGHTS OUT FOR THE mildcats.

Nico and the offense builds off that 2nd half of the bammar game and the touchdowns flow down like Halloween Reece cups. Ky won't find the end zone but their FG kicker gets them on the board.


VOLS WIN HUGE UNDER THE LIGHTS.

I think we will start seeing more Nico runs and rollout passing.

Thank @nicksjuzunk .

Vols by a smidgen.

Already seeing many more rollouts. Offensive design is great besides Nico missing guys downfield. Gotta think/hope he’ll eventually get it dialed in.

We have a more consistent offense, but still some stalled drives. UK moves it a bit between the 20s. Hit their FGs.

true. But most of the over throws are one's where he is just sitting in the pocket. He seems to be more accurate when throwing on the run.
