It should be observed that on Kentucky’s first scoring drive, Cobb and Locke accounted for all rushing and receiving yards. Cobb is on a different plane than the rest of the Kentucky team, and that makes this one of those occasions where maybe you want to assign a spy.

Auburn looked liked they played him straight up, but I admit I was distracted from earlier events … and also flipping back and forth between UK-Auburn and LSU-UF.

Sorry Locke is hurt. Hoping he’s back in time for the ’Cats to demo UGA and UT.

after this Saturday! UGA, @Miss State, Vandy and @UT are all winnable games for UK. Would love for Joker to go 4-4 in the league out the box, and have the ’Cats go on to wax Clemson or some other ACC chump, then have a monster recruiting season..

But the Cocks really, Really, REALLY need this game. That’s why everyone’s biting nails down here …. UK is due but the Cocks are on a mission. So if it has to end against UK, just let it not be this year. Or next, for that matter.

     The win for Kentucky will come down to basically one thing, Does Carolina have the maturity to put the Bama game behind them and prepare properly for Kentucky? I think the answer to this question is yes. Hartline is having a decent year, as noted a padded schedule can help that, but I think we have an advantage on the D line. Bama arguably has the best O-line in the SEC and our D managed to sack McElroy 7 times. Carolina has shown that they can put pressure on the QB and bring him down. With Locke more than likely not playing, the running game is severely damaged. This causing Hartline to have to throw the ball more. Besides, if we can shut down Ingram and Richardson, Locke shouldn’t have been that big of an issue anyway. Not having to load the box against a running game will free up help for our secondary. Gilmore can handle Cobb but, having the back up from the other corners and safeties will help us take Cobb out of the picture. We have loads of talent on both sides of the ball and our defense showed how good they can be saturday, Offensively, I really think Garcia took the Auburn loss to heart and knew he was the main contributor to that loss. I truly believe it lit a fire in him to get better and not make those costly mistakes. We all saw the improvement in the Bama game. Kentucky’s biggest questions for this game, How will they stop Lattimore and Jeffrey? Kentucky has one of the worst running defenses in the SEC and Lattimore has been averaging almost 100 rushing yards a game against decent defenses. As of today, there has not been a team that has been able to stop Jeffrey. If by some mirace Kentucky is able to man up on D and take our biggest weapons out, we still have Gurly, Ace Saunders, and the Wild Cock with Gilmore. D.L Moore and Maddox aren’t too shaby either For the first time, Carolina actually has a ton of weapons. I just don’t see how Kentucky can pull this one out unless Carolina beats themselves and doesn’t prepare or show up to play. My prediction, USC 42 UK 14. I really believe I’m being generous with the 14, especially since locke is out but Cobb and Harltine may be able to connect a few times.
