Blue (Gr)Ass Beat Down....Maybe

Well kids, I'm keeping it short and sweet this week. Partly due to the fact that it's two o'clock in the AM, and perhaps more to do with the fact that I've been drinking beer and playing poker for the past four hours. What do we need to know about the game Saturday?

First off, we know that Kentucky SHOULD be considered a "walk through", but for this years Dawgs, nothing can be taken for granted. Aiding in that assessment is the fact that the 'Cats best offensive weapon is most likely going to be out for the game. Randall Cobb, a "wide receiver", is the most prolific offensive threat that the Blue brings to the table, not only because he's a great catcher of the ball, but also because he can line up and play some QB. Having him out of the game, along with starting QB Mike Hartline could make the opposing offense quite anemic.

One thing the boys in blue do have going their way is their run defense. They are statistically ranked in the top tier of most SEC defensive categories. Their run D is above average, and if their is one thing we've had trouble doing this year, as we all know, it would be running the ball. However, I think we will be able to handle this weeks opposition with our ground attack, as we have been consistently improving in that particular area for the last four weeks. I look for another good outing from CKing as well as Ealey. Also, keep an eye on the Trouper from Tifton, GA. He was one of the most highly regarded prospects coming out of high school, and I believe he is now going to grab his 15 of fame.

I know that's a pretty bland run-down of what is to come, but come on guys, it's basically a dumber version of Vandy (or so I hope). I think we have another DECENT defensive showing, especially considering the injuries to the opposing offense. Somehow we find a way to put of a respectable amount of points against an above average defense.
