I think we will see Nic Iamaleava at QB, especially if we get out to an early lead and Milton is misfiring or throws an interception or two.

Or, if they blow us out, he will probably see action early in the second half.

UT fans are bouncing off the walls to get him under center right now.

Will Heupel cave to fan pressure and break him out against the Cats????
 
1. I'd guess for sure Milton starts vs. Ky Saturday.
2. If Milton struggles...and Ky pass rushes like we usually to and keep him in pocket...he'll have to make throws.
3. My main heartburn is our safeties have been really bad at discipline vs. UGA and Mizzou.....Tennessee is probably the most dangerous team in SEC in terms of testing your back 4 and their ability to play discipline.

So I don't think Tennessee will be in a position to have to yank Milton...so it's not an issue I expect to be an issue Saturday. It's Milton's ball from begin to end barring inury.

I do think one thing that helps UK...is our back 4 and Afari...tackle very well. I do think the quick stuff that Tennessee killed Ky in 2021 wont' be as big an issue....so we'll make them throw deep to score (and I fear they will do just that).

I just don’t want to see JJ having to cover a streaking wr down the sideline like he had to do last year.

If we open up the game allowing 8 feet off the receiver, you will know quickly how the game will go. This game will be won or lost by how well our secondary performs. Lay an egg ee get beat by 30. Gotta be able to cover their receivers. Look for a lot of orange in the stadium Saturday. Those rude bastards will have all day to sip their shine. Men are tolerable, their women are deplorable. Should be a busy night for security and LPD.
 
Nic Iamaleava to play and become Heisman Front Runner
After coming in after halftime with UK up 20-7, throws 5 TD’s and 375 yards and leads rocky top back to the victory. We tend to bring out the best in new players.

I doubt Milton struggles against our team.

And even if he does, Leary will offset it.

This team can't cover. Game will be a slaughter. WRs running free and scoring TDs. Lack of talent combine with a scheme that gets crushed.
 
Game is won upfront - unfortunately we can’t rush passer nor protect ours
Hoping for miracles Saturday night
 
Milton and WRs siting on the bench.
Run the ball, control the clock, play good defense.
Win the game.
Look at the 2021 TOP stats with these two teams, this old school mentality is no longer true. TOP is the most overrated stat in football. You have to score points and as many as possible.

Including our HC, l don't understand what it's going to take to get people to see it. You are a top 10 paid coach and all the others on your neighborhood have figured it out!

The biggest thing will be keeping up with their tempo. We struggle when offenses go high tempo. UT plays that the entire game.

That’s because 98% of all coaches will increase pressure and decrease thought process time for a backup. We will drop 15 yds deep and wait for the new guy to hopefully make a mistake.
