UK game line opens at UT -14.5

If CJH and Nico are able to build on what we saw after the injury on the sack, I think this will look like two years ago. Everyone from the line to the backs/receivers to Nico looked to be back on the same page. With that film and the bye week, I think this will be a fun game to watch. I believe the team will come out with a chip on the dark mode shoulders and make a statement early and often. I truly believe that the 40+ line might be doable this week.

I honestly think we either fail to cover or we double the spread. Need to make the plays that are there and this will be a thrashing. If we score on our first drive, look out.

Wouldn’t touch that line though.

The fact that so many of you don’t think we can cover against this sorry UK team is very concerning. We should easily beat this team by at least 21. If we don’t and it’s a close game, then we have SERIOUS issues on the offensive side of the ball.

If Nico cannot throw for over 200 yards and 2+ TDs, then it’s time to seriously question his abilities.

I’m cautiously optimistic after the 2nd half against Bama. Actually I was licking my chops immediately after that game, but I’m trying to temper expectations. I need to see a little more from our offense: was it one good half or will it turn into a trend? If we come out and march down the field on the first couple drives Saturday, I’ll go from zero to WGWTFA in record time.

Probably about right.

I wouldn't bet on Kentucky right now, but Heup has been very conservative with leads this year, so a 'blow-out' seems less likely as well.

Agree. KY hasn't scored more than 20 points in SEC play this year. I will say that IF, BIG IF, we expect to elevate our offense to put us squarely into playoffs, we need to start this Saturday...can't just expect to turn it on vs UGA. I could see KY throwing a monkey wrench in it, but on other hand, it's Neyland at night, and timing seems right to blow the roof off. We're really talking about making 2-4 plays where we've been over throwing, or not catching, or holding, etc.

I don't think we're that far off, but guess we are until we prove we aren't.
