Tennessee is not going to overlook Kentucky

I enjoy that David Pollock has the Volunteers on upset alert.
The Wildcats need a any given Saturday to beat a great Volunteers team.

They need to win the turnover battle
Get pressure on Hooker
Win TOP by being able to run the Football

These three is highly achievable for the great Georgia Bulldogs, however for the Kentucky Wildcats it is slim when they play the great Tennessee Volunteers in Rocky Top


Since they are playing in Rocky Top so most likely the Wildcats are going to have issues even if they commit less penalties than the Crimson Tide.

I really don’t see the Wildcats being able to upset a playing great Volunteers team in Rocky Top for the stated reasons above.

David Pollack is a Georgia shill. Never says anything good about UT and never will. I don’t pay any attention to anything he says about UT

They keep trying to apply the transitive property to this game by thinking because they won in 2020 in Knoxville that they got this in the bag. Looking forward to UT breaking it to them on Saturday that this isn't a Pruitt coached team being lead by JG and average 21 points a game...

I’m unsurprised they would use that flimsy reason as an argument for why they defeat the Volunteers in Rocky Top.

Wildcats fans are going to be drinking a lot of alcohol when they watch the disappointment of the Volunteers outplaying an outmatched Wildcats team.
Any realistic Wildcats fans will be saying to the rose colored glasses Wildcats fans I told you the Volunteers would score more than 28 points, and the Volunteers would defeat an outmatched Wildcats team in Rocky Top.

It's been a rare occurrence when Kentucky has beaten us but there's one common theme when it's happened: Tennessee has had a very weak team. That's not this year. We've got a top 5 loaded team. I can't imagine UK touches us this year

I look forward to watching Tennessee crush Kentucky, to see them driven before them, and hear the lamentation of their fans.

I have no doubt at all that UT is a better team than Kentucky and we should definitely win this one, but I'll admit to being more nervous about this game than any other this season.

1. The odds are so much higher now and have more to lose.
2. Kentucky isn't as good, but are built to better withstand the UT style. Not that they can keep up in a shootout, but that they slow the game down and eat up clock when they have the ball to limit our touches and take us out of a rythm.
3. Stoops is a good Coach and has had an extra week to game plan and his team to practice. This is also their Super Bowl this year and a revenge game. They'll be locked in and ready.
4. Kentucky is better than their record shows.
5. We're the third tempo team they've seen this year after Ole Miss and MS State. Neither have our offense or Hooker, but do have 120 minutes of tempo experience coming into the contest.

One day you guys will realize this is a different staff, different mentality, resulting in a more focused and different team. This team, unlike the past teams, understands the we're only as good as our next game mentality. They know the importance of treating each game as a one game season. They're locked in each week and this prevents the let downs that the BVS won't let you forget and get over.

I fully expect KY to pull out every trick in their playbook to try and gain any advantage. I'm willing to bet it begins in the 1st quarter which is a sign of pure desperation. By the 2nd half they'll be like that beaten rented mule mentioned above.

Both LSU and UF played desperation mode out of the gate, combined 10 4th down attempts. UF converted those to make it a game, LSU did not and it was a curb stomping. I don’t know which side of that coin UK lands on but I expect them to try their luck in a similar way.

I just don’t see the coaches or players over looking these guys.

UK is a really good SEC team. Not top tier but not trash anymore.

These guys will be ready, and Bless the little cats hearts if UT is going full tilt.

I don't fear a letdown, I only fear a stackup of game changing conditions on offense keeping us from completing drives like we have all year. Where and when we mix in bad bounces, bad breaks, bad reads, bad calls, missed blocks in short yardage, over throws, drops, fumbles and of course GREAT plays by their defense too scares me. If we don't see the punter more than normal, I really like our chances.

I hear ya. But a lot of those game changing scenarios you mentioned is due to a lack of focus, and I believe they are gonna be focused in this game.

He will never forgive Tennessee for beating Georgia 19-14 in Athens in his Senior Season in 2004.

The Wildcats fans reaction after watching the Volunteers defeat the outmatched Wildcats can scream disappointed.

They could lose. Obviously anything is possible. Losing because they come out flat just seems darn near impossible though. I’m gonna say they win by at least 20.

Ranked teams, night game on national TV, all the extra attention because of the black out unis, our guys aren’t mailing in this weeks preparation and execution. I’d hate to be UK this weekend.

I had a nightmare Monday night. I just remember the score was 35-0 UK.
I am an insomniac and have tremendous trouble going back to sleep after I wake up in the middle of the night.
I have had these dreams consistently for 12-13 years.

But, this time, I thought about it, and felt our team would come back and win.
No worries.
Went back to sleep like a baby.

It's not about overlooking Kentucky. Their players are on scholarship too and a lot of them had offers to play in Knoxville.

I don't see Tennessee coming out not focused. Against Pitt, most everyone picked Pitt, most everyone picked LSU, most everyone picked Alabama, so by those predictions, Tennessee would be 4-3 right now, instead of 7-0. I agree Kentucky played two up tempo teams already this year, but Tennessee's offense is not the Kiffin or Leach offense. Tennessee will take care of business tomorrow night.
