My 3 Key’s To Upset UT tonight
- Thread starter HerrosHeroes
- Start date
1. Get bus started, then stopped, without incident. (no mustard on the windscreen, please)
2. Score. Score A LOT. Don't care how we do it. Just do it. 35 pts at bare minimum. Probably more like 42.
3. Slow (we aren't going to stop) their basketball offense. Don't care how we accomplish this feat, either. I really DON'T care. Kidnapping JH, a bag of copperheads tossed in the UT coaches box in the 3rd qtr, slipping Hooker a strong laxative pre-game... all in play here.
Actually... I'm less concerned about #3 than #2. If we fail at #3, it will likely be because failing at #2 set the conditions.

Gotts have a strong start. UT likes to strike quick and early
Be physical with their WRs at the line of scrimmage. No free releases into their fly patterns.
1st quarter will determine if this game is close or not. KY cannot allow UT to have their usual fast start. It cost them the game last year and will likely cause them to get blown out tonight.
UK has to convert on 3rd down on both sides of the ball.
Win the TO battle.
Need to keep the EewTee offense off the field by running the football.

That would work. Any of those will he a long shot though. Will might throw for 350 but if he does it means our game plan didn’t work.
Let's hope not, like the obvious no call for a face mask against Levis on a potential tie or taking lead on final drive.
And I thought it was 10 reasons earlier in the week. Now he's giving a new cliffs note version.
Hard to argue with any of that. If we do the three things above, I'd be feeling pretty good. I'd feel better if we hold them under 30, but not sure if that's realistic.
I think its simple:
Levis has to have some time in the pocket so we can exploit their passing defense.
They were getting a lot of pressure on Bryce Young, especially in the first half. Im very worried about how our offensive line matches up with their defensive line and pass rush

I believe UK rises to the occasion. 2 weeks to heal and prepare. TEs and RBs will be utilized in blocking scheme as well.
This. Give Levis time and at least get CRod to the line of scrimmage untouched.
No turnovers that lead to easy points for them. If the defense can keep them at less than 30(that will be a tall task) we will have a punchers chance.
My hope is that our defense can slow down their offense enough to keep us in the game and we score a game winning TD as time expires.

Agreed. I want to add something.
I went to their message board, Volnation.
Holy cow. Tennessee has some of the most brain-off, low IQ fans I've seen in the history of sports. Like, it's bad. The delusional takes about their own program after a few good wins is some of the most hilarious content I've read.
Let's knock those punks down a peg tonight.

1) CROD needs 150+ yards
2) execute on D and prevent multiple UT 3 min or less drives resulting in TD.
3) win the Redzone battle on both sides. Covert 7s when we get in scoring position by leaning on CRod if you have a fresh set of downs and less than 10 yards to goal. And when on D, when the field shrinks due to the back of the endzone, that’s your time to bow up and play aggressive since they can’t stretch the field deep. Make every passing lane congestive…DLine look to get hands up and jump on the growing motion…send an extra man or 2 to force the ball out quicker…make them finish drives w 3s or making a decision to go for it on 4th to the max extent.
Point 3 is critical bc they will likely score more times than we do…we have to maximize our scoring opportunities to where we can score once to every 1.5 times of theirs and still be in a single possession game late
