What was last week was Otis a 4.5 pt favorite has now grown to 9.5...surely will easily be double digits by the 28th unless Otis loses to Pitt
Point Spread Widens...

If barker starts and doesn't get yanked and plays the whole game. Then i think we win! I think our team will want to win a lot more for barker.
And what do you base that on? Do you think they didn't want to win with Towles, if so then I know our problem, stupidity.
If you were to compare their stats at the time they made the switch it appeared they didn't want to win.
Oh and they appeared like they cared a lot less with towles to be honest looks pretty obvious.
Louisville is not some unstoppable juggernaut. Their best win is NC ST, ours is Mizzou which happens to have a better RPI so that means we have the better win. Their last 4 wins in which they struggled in 3 of them have RPI's from 95-115.
That doesn't mean UK will beat them, but it's not some unsurmountable task.

If our team can get on the same page, just for one game, and keep their heads in the game, then anything is possible....even a big W against Louisville!!
Do You Believe!!??

LOL I know Kentucky has **** the bed recently but who has Louisville beaten exactly to make them nearly a 10 point favorite?
an awful Virginia team moved the ball at will against Louisville...

It will be a very tight game that we can win. UVA was one of worst Offenses in country but passes all over Louisville. I am not sure why. But, our Offense is a lot better than UVA.
I think their CBs are a weak spot on both sides. We need to focus on swing passes, sideline passes and little screens. That is what UVA and FSU did against them.
FWIW, UVa is 60th nationally in (S&P+) SOS-adjusted offensive efficiency.
We are 102nd.
Dont know how you can say our offense is better than theirs..We have Towles and Dawson keeping us from scoring points..that is better than the opposing defenses. We cant even score from inside the 3 yd line at 1st and goal.
Boom killed them last year. They are very vulnerable on the edge. Bolin will cough it up and throw picks. We win last year if Mcwilson picks that can of corn gifted to him. They're not as good as last year, we're probably about the same, and we damn near won that game on the road. We're at home now. I think Barker plays great and we get the win.
Louisville can not contain the edges. Most of the time, they are blitzing and sending their OLB/DE on rush and get sucked in. They don't contain. Wiggins does not wrap up on run support. If you put Boom out in space on swing passes or other RBs and WRs on edge, we could get big gains.
Look at the teams that have hurt them.
Yes, but before the UVA game, there were in the 90s, I believe. After the UL game, they jumped up because of how many points they scored on them. I think they scored about 30 pts on them.
Wow, I don't know about us putting up 21 points. But, then again, now with Barker at QB, who knows how our offense will respond? The unknown....
Don't forget that we knocked out their first string QB last year and the Fourth stringer came in and lit us up.
They were 64th last week going into Louisville game. From the site (linked below) that tracks advanced stats for Louisville's opponents. #nerdalert
