Beating Kentucky at football is what we do. Kentucky has more wins against Florida in the last 6 years (4 wins) than they do against us in the last 35 years (3). Mizzou worries me 4x more than Kentucky does. If our OL takes care of business and Milton has a (for him) average game we win by 10-14.
The last time Kentucky beat a Tennessee team that finished with a winning record we 1984. The last time a ranked Tennessee team lost in Lexington was 1959.
Prediction: Lots of 3rd and longs Smalls will stumble around behind the line of scrimmage Joe will get sacked a couple of times and possibly give up another game ending turnover late in the 3rd quarter. Away game. 34-17 Kenta-key Bye bye GOAT.
If this was a home game I would pick the Vols by 7. Tennessee has lost the last 4 out of 5 road games. Vanderbilt wasnt really a road game. Virginia was a neutral site. Was LSU our last big road game win? my prediction last week.
Yeah our road struggles concern me. Lexington has a tendency to cure what ails us, but they scared us the last two times there (and beat us three times ago, but that was with Lyle), and we have a track record of letting games spiral away from us. I think this is a good matchup, but it’s also our easiest road game of the season, so there’s a bit of “if we don’t fix things today, we’re going to be out of chances before we know it.”
Over the years, I have gotten so I really don't care for Kentucky football. Before Dooley, Jones, Pruitt I never gave them a second thought. I go into every game thinking we are going to win. And that thought process has stood me well over the last 60 or so years of Vol fandom. <I will admit to going through a "hope we don't lose" phase during the time of the above 3 referenced.>
This last 20 minutes has taken 2 hours. I’m hoping the next 10 minutes feels like 4 minutes, and that the last 10 minutes just feel like a regular 10 minutes.
Other than the back to back false starts, no penalties on Kentucky. Almost 7 quarters of football and only three deadball penalties against our opponents.
7 quarters. A snap infraction, an offsides, and two false starts. That's it. It's impossible to not have some type of live ball penalties in our favor during 105 minutes of football unless it's intentional.
Explain to me how Stoops got to retroactively call a timeout at the 2 minute mark when his dumbass thought the clock would stop due to Sampson running OOB?
