Imagine if Kentucky football got glazed like scar does every off season.

Interesting tho. Beamer was the guy. And him leaving after this year will prolly put Carolina in the cellar for the next 3 years.

South Carolina and Oklahoma should get booted out of the league.

South Carolina fits better in the ACC. Just barely mediocrity

If UK loses to South Carolina, then I am afraid Stein is no better than past UK coaches. I don't care if it is his first year, UK has the better team and a loss will be 100% on Stein.
You sir are a certified idiot. Just trying to stir the pot. Nobody before this season started said Kentucky had the better team or talent. In fact there was a reason Kentucky was only picked to win 3 or 4 games max. You are no UK fan.

Kid, I have been a UK fan since the late 80's. You sir are a certified fool, if you don't think a better UK team losing to a dumpster fire South Carolina team is not 100% on the coach.

I may take some flak for this, but I really haven’t seen anything definitive that we’re so much better than them. We both have 2 easy wins over cupcakes and both got thrashed by Alabama with very similar scores. Our resume is currently a little better by having that extra win over A&M while they have a close loss to Mississippi State, but State arguably looks like the better of those two opponents so far if you ignore preseason rankings. Definitely feels like it should be a game we’re capable of winning, but a close line slightly favoring the home team doesn’t seem crazy to me given what both teams have shown so far.

You keep saying we are better,, but we have lost to them for multiple years in a row now. You should thank Stoops for that instead of trashing a the new coach for something that hasn't happened yet. They have as much or more talent than we do, and their QB is going to be a problem.

Sellers could be a problem but he’s up and down so far, 6/4 td/int with three td’s coming against Kent St but he’s been solid in the past. Their running game worries me a little more, had over 200 yds vs bama. We have to play clean to win there because they’re definitely not pushovers.

Sellars has been up and down, and we'd better hope for down. When he's good, he's really good. I love our team, but I agree with you that South Cackalacky doesn't necessarily look worse than we do. They looked athletic vs Bama, just not great at executing.

Again you just stirring the pot. Show me a ranking from anywhere that shows UK with as much talent as the team that has thumped us the last few years. Show me a preseason poll that had UK ranked ahead of South Carolina. That's what I thought. South Carolina was picked by everyone to finish ahead of UK from all the football talking heads. Now I am done with you. Goodbye

Preseason polls are worthless. Every year they have teams ranked in the top 10 that don't even finish the season in the top 25.

lol, preseason polls, smh. Using your logic, UK is ranked ahead of South Carolina now, so we are the better team, and not even using your flawed login only a blind idiot could not see that this UK team is more talented than South Carolina, they are a dumpster fire.

I like our chances to win this game but anything could happen. We cant start like we did yesterday against South Alabama.
There are no cakewalks in the SEC. We're better up front on offense. Ill pretty much always bet on the better offensive line. Depth there concerns me, especially in the heat and it was a factor with Bama.

We wore down and we made some mistakes that killed us. But we outplayed Bama thru almost 3 quarters. They don't have as much drop-off between 1st and 2nd stringers on either side of the line and they did wear us down late.

USC will be hungry and a little desperate. If we can run the ball and control TOP, our offensive line will be why we can and why we win. It all starts up front in the trenches.

I agree that we've gotta slow down their run game and make Sellers beat us. A little pressure in his face can make a huge difference in that.

What was the reason IU was predicted to win 9 games, last year. Surely preseason predictions are never wrong? Right? Right?

Why bring up Stoops? But since you did, he is one of only 2 coaches to ever have a winning record against South Carolina, do we thank him for that also? Or just the last couple losses?

S. Carolina has a better overall roster and a great home field advantage. It would be a really nice win year one, at their place, with less talent. This is a very losable game, why we are underdogs. A&M may only win a couple SEC games.
If UK loses to South Carolina, then I am afraid Stein is no better than past UK coaches. I don't care if it is his first year, UK has the better team and a loss will be 100% on Stein.

I can understand it, we're on the road, to a desperate South Carolina team. Harsh environment. Essentially seen as a coin flip game. But my eye test says we're the better team. Let's get out there and prove it again !

Forget rankings, keep playing harder than the other team and outwork them to the finish, which we can do in this game. Rankings still don't mean anything to the final picture, not quite yet. No way we can ever afford to look ahead or over anyone, here on out.

If we execute properly and well, we win this game, and get just a little more national respect out there. I trust Stein and the team to give it everything they have and keep it going.

Go Big Blue !

Why create a strawman of a game we havent played yet to go after Stein?
Yet you act offended when I point out recent factual history of the former coach.
We have lost to them for FOUR straight years and the 2021 win was vacated by the ncaa.
But thanks for validating your agenda.
