UK 3 Point Favorites at USC jr
- Thread starter jimmybuffet123
- Start date
USCJr beat Vandy 47-6 today. Don’t think they are that bad. I’ll be shocked if we win to be honest.
we would roll them if we let any random fan trade places with brad white, with brad white on the sideline, they're guaranteed to convert atleast 5 3rd and 12s or longer. I don't have faith in stopping Pineville High School with that clown on the sideline ..we haven't stopped anyone all year. (Exception of FL and MSU) MSU missing their QB playing Mike wright, and idk what was wrong with UF that day but they're much better than we are)
The MAC teams scored on us, Vandy put a bunch on us good thing their D is horrible so it was possible to out score them. What a highlight being in a shootout with Vandy.

Hate to bring basketball to the football board but it's only about gambling. Fan Duel has a 100% profit boost for the UK-Kansas game on Tuesday.
I'll be surprised if we hold Rattler under 350 yards. He will carve our secondary up like a Thanksgiving turkey. USC's OL is weak but so is our DL (which it should not be but that is a convo for another time) so I expect he'll have all day to scan for open receivers (and there will be many thanks to no pressure on Rattler). 35-28 USCe.
Seems about right to me.
They have an awful defense. Rattler could well go off but their offense is so inconsistent. I think the game itself will be close and would have guessed anywhere between UK -1.5 to UK -4.5. I don’t think blowing out Vandy means anything to Vegas power ratings.
I think the line will get bet up this week of anything.

We have an awful defense too and an inferior offense.
UK has given up more point n sec play than sc d actually.

Not very hard to beat us when you play soft off Their wide receivers and give them eight or nine sure yards anytime they need it . Bend not break stinks .
I actually think it may be entertaining. Both teams have awful defenses so maybe a higher scoring affair.
Hey, Bend don’t Break has made Stoops a multimillionaire, so it really does work!
USC is 4-6 and have won 2 in a row. They barely beat one of their cupcakes last week (won by 3).
Vandy has mailed it in.
But anything can happen and Rattler is a heckuva QB. We’ll see, but I like the Cats to win.
They won by 10 and we beat mighty eku by 11. I wouldn't assume much by random scores against cupcakes this season.
I agree I think we win a close one but don't feel confident about it.
You’re right - it was 10. (It was 3 late tho). The difference is that EKU was Game 2. JST was Game 9 for USC. Either way, I like a Cats win. Stoops has typically done well against USC - even with his early teams.
Not so sure Brad white is the problem as much as stoops is. If stoops didn’t like the job Brad white was doing he could always step in but Brad white is playing defense exactly how stoops wants him too. We cannot be aggressive on defense otherwise we might lose games 51-13 or 49-21 or something like that.
I look for the cats to mail it in and finish 6-6. I'm sure Stoops will get a bump in pay for taking us to another toilet bowl.
Think Vandy has QB injuries, pretty sure they played a true freshman.
SCAR has had major OL injuries, have shown little running game therefore expect little run O from them. Rattler will throw 40+ times and will have 400 passing yards if UK continues with their passive pass D.
My bad, Vandy did not play a frosh QB but their QB play was very poor.
Depends on if our offense shows up like it did against TN or if the anemic one from the rest of the year rears its ugly head. That and pressuring their QB will be key. I wouldn’t be surprised if we won or lost.
Meanwhile, UK's running game has been poor for at least a month.
Earth to Stoops/White: Giving a QB 8-10 seconds to find a WR who has been given a 10 yard cushion and hoping the QB throws a bad pass is NOT a defense. Once again, 3 of the 5 leading tacklers vs Bama were DBs, 2 out of last 3 games. It's never good....NEVER good when DBs are leading you in tackles.
My wife and I are going to insure that we best UL. We are both going to put 5 bucks down and get the $200 credit . We will then bet it all n UL to beat us . So for ten bucks I’ll insure over victory or win $800 . Hopefully it will be the best 800 we have ever lost .

How I the world are we favored when we are playing at their place and been trending down for 6 weeks. I am ready for golf to start back up again.
This is one you throw money on.
We are being undervalued due t in recency bias because we had to endure a run of UGA, Mizzou, UT, Bama. We’ve now seen that 3 of those teams are top 10 teams with 2 being top 5 (if not top 3). And we played UT well who is likely in the 20-25 range realistically.
So what…we aren’t a top 10 team and got crushed by 2 of the best teams in the nation. Ole Miss also just got destroyed by UGA. But we are still up for the USCjr challenge and I’d argue we are 7-10 points better than they are.

USCe almost lost to Jacksonville State a couple of weeks ago. JAX had the ball late and driving for the go ahead score and turned it over. Rattler is really good but his line hasn't done a good job of protecting him, and they've been decimated with injuries there.
Kentucky has a chance to salvage something close to respectability out of this season if they can win out. We'll see how much this game matters to them.

Yeah that line changed quite a bit this week.
SC definitely fits the garbage to average category of teams on the schedule and UK is 6 and 0 in those games thus far, winning by double digits in all 6 games.
I know we can't figure out how to get to the QB but other than that there is no reason we should not win this game. SC is down some this year so in my eyes this game comes down to the best coaching. Close enough in talent but our DL and runners to me are better. A lot of other positions are a wash.
Carolina has an awful offensive line. I think we create more pressure today even with their dink-and-dunk/lots of screens offense.
