Vandy at UK prediction thread
- Thread starter Friedas_Boss
- Start date
In an odd twist Vandy is holding SEC opponents to 13 ppg (though both were home games) and OOC opponents have gone nuts on them for 31 ppg (the 2 higher scoring games were on the road).
While I would like to think we can score on Vandy I don't see us putting together more than maybe 3 scoring drives. Hopefully we can keep them out of the endzone as well. I'll be optimistic and say UK wins 17-6.

UK scores in each quarter, 3 TD's and a FG. Vandy scores in 2 qtrs, a TD and a FG. Cats take it by a final of....... 24-10.
Should be a close one, but in the end the good guys win. UK by a TD

What is the mental blockage that keeps these defensive coaches from having even a average offense? Muschamp, Mason and Stoops all seem unable to put even a average offense on the field.
They have to study the offense in order to defend against it. Is it just lack of interest? Do they not even want to TRY to have a passable offense?

I got to watch Vandy against WKU and I was not impressed.
If the defense continues to play like they have, I look for a couple of take aways. If we stop the run and make them pass, we could easily come away with a couple of picks. Vandy's QB puts too much air under his passes and lofts them up there. Against WKU, there were about 2 or 3 that should have been picked.
Taking Cats 24-10

I'm gonna go against all y'all and the grain ... vegas O/U is 51.5 for a reason so I will go with Vegas CATS 42 and Dores 10 ....

If it makes you feel better, you'll score at least double that average against us. I just hope and pray that we win and continue to improve. I'm tired of starting over.
Vandy 24..17...they have given up 26 pts in two sec games..Cats are not scoring 27-30 on this team

Both the teams that scored big on them had coaches that believe in running high octane offenses...MS does not.
Belief...running clock to keep the defense off the field instead of ATTACKING the other team...they All want low scoring "defense controlled" games.
I can speak for Muschamp or Stoops, but Mason just doesn't understand what it takes to win. He has this construct in his mind of how he wants his team to play, but I don't think winning is part of that construct. Mason is destined to be a DC again and that will start next year, dude just isn't cut out to be a head coach.

It could be the kiss of death if Vandy has to use a backup QB (I guess Vandy's starting QB got hurt somehow against UF). UK has a way of making backup QBs look like All American candidates. Hope the starter for Vandy is back...it's probably the only QB that the UK coaches planned for.
sort of a revenge game for Kentucky after the way we blew it in last year's game. Home game for CATS, who are playing better football now:
Vandy: 17
UK: 23
Vandy: 17
UK: 23
Overall UK is the better team.
I'm not looking for a low scoring drudge fest, neither team's D is great, and in fact I think an ugly boring game favors Vandy because in those games the lesser team can win on a lucky bounce of the ball, a missed call, or late field goal.
A boring slop fest also means that our offense isn't clicking, and that is the one thing that gives UK the upper hand. I think our O and skill players can out run n gun vandy in a shootout.
I'm looking for a 40 - 28 offensive game.

Kentucky 24 Vandy 20, if we loose to Vandy the season will be over,stadium will be half full the rest of the games
Both teams come out and start lighting up the scoreboard at a record pace. They both score early and often, trading touchdowns on almost every possession. The final score ends up 52-45 to the home team.
Wait a minute, we're talking about Kentucky/Vandy aren't we? Make it 20-14 Cats.

Can you believe that our best starting field position against Florida was our own 25?
Would be nice to cross the 50 against such a stout defense.
