In The For What It's Worth Department...

In the espn predictator meter...UK is predicted to to finish its season 5-7 and be a decided underdog to U6 in season finale while u6 is predicated to finish 9-3 .

U6 has the cupcakiest schedule in Division I, with Notre Dame and Miami(FL) being their only competition in the crappy ACC this season. So they will come into the UK game thumping their chests that they only have 2 losses. I hope we beat them by 20

That’s some juice right there

The way we played against EKU, seems fair right now. Heck, UC scored 66 pts against the Colonels and we couldn't score even half that much AND allowed them to move the ball against our defense by using the RB as their main receiver. Ball ST and EKU scored FIRST on us. Not much I can say to discount their assessment thus far.

If this team wants MORE respect, they need to come out this Saturday and put Akron away EARLY!!!

 

[Glenn's take]

I made a post about this but Auburn was a 5 point favorite against Cal which translates to a winning percentage of 64%. ESPN predictor had Cal with a 55% chance to win so 45% for Auburn. 2 models 19% off. Guess which I trust?

Yeah...and this same UK team looked like hot mess last year vs. Youngstown St, etc....in non conference and we handled UL very well in our finale. UL had Malik Cunningham and UK, yet again, man handled UL in the trenches even with one of worst Olines in UK history.

I get Brohm is better coach than Satterfield....but UK got Coen back and UK has by far the better front 7 defensively. I just don't see how a valid model continues to put UL anywhere close to beating UK in football. If Leary is out by then....maybe I can see it. But if Leary is healthy.....we ain't losing that game.

Every year is the same, every year they get their hopes up, and every year they lose. Don't take the bait.

Hopefully this will be bulletin board material that will light a fire under the team.

It's early , but the 1st 2 games have been very disheartening. O line has been beyond pathetic as has the offense as a whole. Would like one week to see the offense run N/S instead if E/W.

UK football historically plays down to the level of competition, we have done that the first 2 weeks. I think we are better than what we have shown thus far, the question is how much better.

We haven't seen what we thought we would see, if the team wants more respect then go out and serve notice. Stoops blue collar approach should feed right into earning the respect they think they deserve but his in game approach(don't beat anyone too bad) is directly opposed to earning respect.

Here is what I would like to see this week end (1) hold Akron to 10 points or less, (2) put up 45 points, (3) throw for at least 275 yards and run for 120 or more, (4) get the back-up QB in the game (whoever it is) and let him run the offense(not just hand the ball off) Play with a chip on your shoulder
