Jake Bentley is doing ok. He has a whopping 2 more passing yards than Stephen Johnson. Johnson has a better passer rating as well.
SC's Total D is dead last in conference after 2 games. Yes, worse than Mizzou's.
SC doesn't have a rusher in the top 20 in the league.
But on paper, these teams are pretty evenly matched. I think if Kentucky continues playing like they did most of the 2nd half vs EKU, and play special teams like we did against Southern Miss, then we'll roll fairly easily. I think our D will match up way better vs. SC's offense than EKU dink & dunk offense.
SC have been spectacular on special teams, and opportunistic without making many mistakes. Reminds me a lot of how Kentucky was last year if you take away our 32 turnovers per game.
I think this will be a good game. It's questionable to say that they've played better competition. By mascots & school names, yes, but otherwise I think it's pretty even.
