Who should the (Big Blue) Wildcats schedule (future) OOC?
- Thread starter 12375CAT
- Start date
Not so fast with the Service academies. Fantastic schools with great missions but:
1. Takes heavy specialized preparation to get ready for the triple option.
2. Cut blocking by the option-oriented Service Academy OLs would be murder on our DL. Not only that...with our recent D-play:
-Navy would wear us out.
-USAFA would be even money.
-We should beat Army....but they are improving.
Remember: So Car lost to a triple option FCS (1-AA) team last year (The Citadel). UF lost to triple option Ga Southern in the swamp during the Eagles' last year in FCS. Wishbone, Veer, "under center" option teams and military academies are no push over. I would leave the Service academies out of the mix for now.

I'm looking at this from the standpoint that stability comes to UK in the near future. I would love to have a game at Paul Brown with Ohio State, and then rotate maybe each year with a Michigan, and Michigan State, and Notre Dame. Yeah its a pipe dream but to see us on the field with teams like this is how your program progresses hopefully.
