or did they just catch Miss St and Florida at a weak moment. I didn't see the game yesterday and caught the 2nd half of the Florida game. With that kind of losing streak to a team, the announcers were waiting for it to all fall apart, and it didn't. The box score makes it appear they worked Miss st.

What's up with this team?

Holding Miss St to a touchdown is certainly impressive. The thing about a team/program like them is how they handle this week of national attention. They play like they did yesterday they are a 9/10 win team. Big question...can they give UGA a game, or at least be in position to possibly win that game and take the East? It's their 2nd to last SEC game.

I’m not buying into UK winning the East (or even being close in the UGA game), but I think they are pretty close to a lock for 2nd place.

UK is definitely better than what we're accustomed to seeing from them. I've been pretty impressed by their offensive line in both the MSU game and the Florida game.

They won the LOS in the UF game, and dominated MSU. Have an adequate dual-threat QB, potential NFLer in Snell at RB. Stoops is an underrated, good coach.

We got 'em next, lost 4 in a to UK (were way ahead of them before that). Think it's gonna be tight.

UGA will beat them and everyone else in the SECE.

This is not a great team. This is the same team that needed a two score comeback at home vs. 1-3 Central Michigan. They've looked good against a bad Florida team and a wildly overrated Mississippi State team, but I fully expect them to come back to earth soon, if not this week vs. SCar.

They are my team so I am biased. They are very physical. Their offense though can be predictable. Their QB made some huge plays vs Florida with his legs and arm. They aren’t going to beat UGA. Their passing attack is lacking. Bowden has to get more involved. I definitely think the rain helped Saturday. South Carolina looked really good vs Vandy. UK moved to 17 in the polls but are an underdog at home to a team not ranked. Big game coming

I don’t think they have enough in the pass game to truly compete. They are much better and making progress, but they still have away to go to be anything more than a thorn in the side of good teams

Good for Kentucky.

They aren't going to the playoffs or anything, but Stoops might end up somewhere else next year.

They will be 6-6 or 7-5 by the end of the season.

My oldest daughter and grandson graduated from UK. My youngest
Grandson is a senior at UK. (My youngest daughter graduated
from EKU). So I have always followed UK over the past 30 years.
Hell, I lived in Lexington for 25 years.

What Stoops has given them...is physical strength in both lines, but
they have something that FSU is lacking, big-time, this year. They
have big, mobile and active linebackers. Their second level is
excellent.

They can compete with anybody.

Yes and expect them to cover the +1.5 spread against South Carolina at home. They'll probably come back down to earth at some point, but they have looked impressive so far to me after seeing some of both of the UF and Mississippi State games. They're pretty physical along the lines of scrimmage and their tailback is a stud.

Kentucky is ok. They're like the opposite of Tennessee. UK has marginal talent...decent D and QB and offense. They utilize this talent to get wins out of them.

Unless the Joja fags have a very bad day, they should beat the crap out of UK.

UTenn has some talent and they use it to stab themselves in the face with a fork.

Well they have beaten Florida and Miss. State....but those teams haven't beat anyone with a pulse so...I'm a hold at this point.

But that IS a Stoops coaching, you can expect extreme SOMETHING. Could be good, could be suck out loud.

The other question. Is Miss St and Florida worth a shit?

AND I PICKED FLORIDA AS MY MOST UNDERRATED TEAM DAMMIT.
