Well yea,, not seen anything that leads me to believe they cant.. Long as they protect the ball,, unlike today..
So even before tonight. While protecting the ball. Causing turnovers. Playing clean football no flags..we still have barely been winning.

Do I think we can win all three heck yea. Not like im saying we camt beat any of those teams. We cam beat Tennessee on a dofferent night. But to feel confident against two strong sec teams and a Louisville that is decent isn't going to happen for me. I hope we do but I just dont see it.

Lose to Missouri and Florida beat Louisville is my prediction.

If we're talkin reality... Nobody thought UK would be sittin at 7-2 with a chance to go 10-2 or 9-3 in Steins first year.

And we all would have begged for a first year season like that.

Yeah the two blowout losses were all systems failures and both games the complete collapse happened in the second half, which is concerning from a lack of adjustments against elite teams. And yeah losing to those mustard bottles tonight the way we did is pathetic.

But... If we go 9-3 and to a major bowl in Steins first year, I'll call that a great year with this schedule.

Missouri and Florida ain't that strong though.. Maybe at beginning of the year but not lately.. And UL at our place,, we ain't losing that one..

The reality and head scratcher of both blowout losses is the second half.

Alabama, we're outscored 32-0 second half.
UT, we're outscored 24-0 second half.

That's a sign of being out schemed and better adjustments being made at half by bama and ut.
Yeah, I like Stein but he better go to church tomorrow, because he called scared all night.

Id be happier than ever if they won all three. A bad Tennessee team is never bad against UK. A bad Florida team is never bad against UK.

I think we beat Florida 7 out of ten times this year. I still dont feel confident in this one when so much is at stake. I think our playoff bid is over. But I'll roll with everyone and hope if we win out we are in.

But we just got blown out by a two loss team.

This is what may come back to bite us if the committee has to make to a borderline call between us or someone else.

Our losses have not even been close, but instead ugly blowouts.

That’s fuggin right! Let’s win out baby.
Florida game better be absolutely crazy. You dont worry about who will steal Stein from us then give up on him after one bad loss. Florida is now the most important game this year as will be every next game. Better be loud and crazy. Crowd does factor into it more than people think.

We still have a chance to have an amazing season. Just have to forget this loss and show up next week. No matter what this season is a success. It may end up being really disappointing, but at worst we go 7-5 when most thought we wouldn’t win more than 5. 7-5 would certainly suck, but we are ahead of schedule. Personally, I think we go 9-3 and end up in a really good bowl game, and that would be a massive success for this team. .

Florida looks terrible. Yeah, UK got thumped by the #13 team in the Country on the road in one of the toughest environments to play in. Florida got thumped on their home field by a team UK beat by 8 on the road. Florida also got thumped by South Carolina at home. UK should win by double digits vs. Florida next week.

TN also beat bama down pretty good. Moreso than they did us just not as much on the scoreboard. The final score was not indicative our game tonight at all. We had 20 first downs to their 14, gained 361 yards to their 389 but three turnovers (one completely unforced) did us in. They played cleaner than we did while getting called for fewer penalties.

Clearly, we are a very good team, but not an excellent team. Although we are MUCH better than everyone predicted, we must remember that it took two (2) unexpected overtime wins to beat the only SEC teams with a winning record we'd played ... coming into this weekend.

Can we finish an unbelievable year at 10-2 ... OF COURSE, but it will take mistake-free football to do so !! It will be fun and interesting to see how we finish this tremendous season ... GO CATS !!!!

No doubt. I expect us to come out fired up on that one. I expect a really good game response.
