Nice early breakdown from Freddie Maggard on whether or not UK is on "upset alert" against the Ragin Cajuns on September 5th.
I disagree on the RS part. If a FR is better than what you have, you play them. (Even AL started a true FR at LT last year.) This meant the likes of Elam & Boom & some WR's (rightfully) played last year and will mean Conrad, George AA, & some FR C's play this year. Additionally, if a player is likely not to be here 5 years, an RS season is a lost season. Good players playing begets more good players coming. Part of why top programs are able to keep recruiting top players is because they know many guys ahead of them will be gone in 4, even 3 years.That means we basically need to red shirt every player we recruit. If you have the access to the recent HOB article with the head recruiter basically says we need 5 years to put a truly competitive and deep team on the field. Actually ever time we play a freshman we set back the master plan to have sec depth in the future.
They will feild a team whose classes ranked 79, 98 101 & 89 by rivals..they might have a handful of low 3 stars. They dont have a player that would even earn an offer from Stoops...lol
We have a team loaded with elite 4 star talen who have been training day and night in the world class high peformance program for years. They are getting tranformed into elite football players who will execute the gameplans of our elite coaching staff. Do I need to remind everyone that our head coach was the architect of a national championship defense at FSU?
Still have a ways to go to get rid of the "shaking in our boots" mentality where we're expecting to get beat by Sun Belt teams in what is the most-anticipated season opener in a decade, where we're returning 90 percent of our playmakers coming off a season where we were two plays away from seven wins.
If we're doing anything but winning our first game by 2-3 touchdowns (at least) in year 3 of the Stoops' regime, than this coaching staff deserves to be on the hot seat, and if by some complete miracle ULL beats us, they deserve to be fired. I see absolutely zero scenario where this is anything but a two touchdown win for us--come on man.
Stuff like this makes me so disappointed. Even after how far we've come in the Stoops era, we're still a victim of our own losing mentalities. We've experienced so much losing that we're still always waiting for the rug to get pulled out from under us even when things appear on the up and up.
I'm not suggesting that ULL is a team that should be taken for granted by any stretch of the imagination, but to even suggest that we could somehow get beaten in this game just reeks of a deeply rooted loser's mentality.
Come on man. If the thought of us getting beaten by ULL crosses your mind in year three of the Stoops era, and you're doing anything but screaming in anger and asking for someone's job, than you need to take a look in the mirror and ask why you even watch this team to begin with.
Freddie is right, of course. Not only could UK lose, but it will be a sexy pick by many.
I guess you didn't see us get pounded by WKU and lose to UL again? Just sayin.....Stoops still has a lot to prove....
I agree he deserves the hot seat if we even come close to losing to ULL....
I will also add he deserves the hot seat if we lose to UL or Vandy again. There is no reason UK should ever lose to UL or Vandy again for the forseeable future. If you can't even beat those two schools consistently, UK will NEVER climb in the SEC and will remain the worst program in the SEC along with Vandy.
Something has to change soon.....
I personally will be happy with 6 wins and a bowl IF we beat both Vandy and UL and keep recruiting top 25 classes.
A tidbit that should calm folks down somewhat: While Hudspeth has led ULL to a 9-4 record every year he's been there, he is winless against Power 5 teams.
I'm sorry, I guess you think it's acceptable to keep losing to teams like WKU, Vandy, and UL. I guess we can lose to teams like that and climb as a program right?
I don't see any reason to single out this game. You have to prepare well and give your best effort every week. Every game on every team's schedule is played to win by both teams.KSR Link

Oh is Stoops going to have some of the high four star and five star talent like he had on that FSU NC team. If not IMO it is possible that UK could lose this game if it doesn't bring its A game.
I do not think UK loses this game but it being the first game of the season when teams are still trying to get it together is somewhat of a worry for me. UK is not at the stage where they can lay a stinker and beat that team. I would prefer having Eastern for the home opener.
Hmmmm?????They will feild a team whose classes ranked 79, 98 101 & 89 by rivals..they might have a handful of low 3 stars. They dont have a player that would even earn an offer from Stoops...lol
