UK will win 2 of 3 against Georgia, Tennessee, and Louisville.

Lots of football to be played between now and those games, lots can happen both good and bad. For instance, the UGA QB is a true fr with 5* talent who made some 5* throws yesterday. Unfortunately for him he also made some 1* throws. Who knows if or even when the light comes on for him? And if UK's QB situation doesn't improve it'll be difficult staying up. Let's worry about Miss St then go from there.
Fair enough. I admittedly was switching back and forth between several games once Bama had thst one in hand. You actually serve to prpve my poiny anyway. If Kiffin ran the same two plays against Tennessee and obliterated them, these folks who think we "held" Bama to 34 need a reality check.
Bama never tries to pour it on teams that they're clearly better than. They didn't cover the spread in our game or their game with Western.
This is the truth of the matter.
The closer you are to their caliber the more likely they are to want to make a statement..
They use games like ours to play 2nd stringers, work on plays / schemes they aren't very efficient with.
And when our football team can't meet your own unjustified expectations, you will be calling for Stoops' scalp again.
So, based on your rationale, you must think Ole Miss sucks, since FSU beat them by double digits. And therefore, Alabama must not be the dominating team everybody thinks they are, since that sucky Ole Miss team outplayed them for 3 quarters in their game.
And the best of the SEC East, Tennessee? Yeah, they must be horrific, too, since they should have lost to Appalacian State, who was blown off the field by that overrated Miami team that lost yesterday to that crappy UNC team that was blown away by the Virginia Tech team that lost to Syracuse, and also lost to...that horrific Tennessee team...wait a minute, in my best Calipari voice "WHAT?" See how silly that all sounds?
It's fun to speculate about all this right now, but lots of football. Nobody really knows what's going to happen yet, and it's comical watching talking head opinions change weekly.
As far as Louisville is concerned, I know for a fact two things:
1) that Jackson kid is a freak, and as long as he is out there taking every offensive snap, that team has a chance in any game they play in; and
2) if that kid gets hurt, they're toast.
Toast? Hardly..Two years their QB went down and they put in a sub and still beat us!
Offensively we would be seriously hampered without Jackson....Think about it...Jackson has 30 TDs in 6 Games and 4 of those games were against P5 opponents...the kid is a Freak...

So, how do you interpret the fact that Bama pulled Hurts against Tennessee, but not in the UK game?
They have some injuries, but I wondered about that and looked up their defensive stats for all their games this year. The players that had their 1st start against Bama played very well and had better production than the injured starters they replaced. In fact, with a very few exceptions (singel games) that have been the case for UT all year. Backups and backups starting have outperformed the starters all season long. Butch Jones can cry all he wants about losing key players, but numbers don't lie.
Right now Bama is the best team I've seen in many, many years! And I've watched many, many SEC games over the years!
Ala. Offense avg. @50 ppg...their defense has scored 11 tds..they have given up 11 yes...impressive
Seriously, put down the pipe. And back away from the window.
We will win against Mizzu, Miss St, Austin Peay.
But we have not think improved or even shown an ounce of improvement enough to beat Georgia, Tennessee or Louisville. We may get to that point, but not yet.
You are letting your bias get to you. The only place we are even a hint better might be running back and that is more of a push.
Simply the way they handled Florida State and played Clemson should tell you that much. Our best game was a 28 point loss to Bama, their worst game was a 6 point loss to Clemson.
Stats for Kentucky/Bama:
BAMA: Joshua Jacobs 16-100, Jalen Hurts 9-25, Bo Scarbrough 5-21, B.J. Emmons 3-16, Damien Harris 2-11, Calvin Ridley 1-6, Team 1--6
Hurts ran the ball 9 times. Zero rushes in the 4th quarter.
Stats for Tennessee/Bama
BAMA: Jalen Hurts 12-132, Bo Scarbrough 5-109, Damien Harris 14-94, B.J. Emmons 9-38, Joshua Jacobs 6-38, ArDarius Stewart 1-29, Cooper Bateman 2--2
By the end of the year Ohio State is right with them...they are only scratching the surface on their talent. That young team went on the road to both Oklahoma And Wisconsin and won...that speaks volumes
If that list was MSU, Mizzou, and UGA, it would still be a bold prognostication.
Did he also put it on Kent State, Saban's alma mater. WE played them tough and held them to 34.
I'll take that, because that will mean that if we beat 2 out of 3 of those then we've likely beaten Miss. St., Mizzou, and Austin Peay as well which puts us at 8-4 on the season.
UT stud Kamara has serious knee injury.

Yeah I agree Chubb will play and he is the absolute key for that team in every aspect look at the games he has played vs the ones he hasn't with him they'll beat us by a couple tds or more but w/o him playing I think there's a chance it's somewhat winnable. Now Louisville at home last game of the year may be a different story.
Especially since the east is a train wreck this year I seriously believe if they were in the east they would finish top 2. Look at us were tied for 2nd with ut and have given up the second most points of any team from the east again (besides ut) even though they have scored the most but anyways. I think ul would have a very good chance to take the sec east this year
