ESPN's Midseason Review: Kentucky

Our favorite ESPN SEC blogger Chris Low has his midseason review of the Wildcats over on the worldwide leader's site.  Check it out, forget about it, and let's move on with the season.  You're going down, Spurrier!

KENTUCKY WILDCATS Record: 3-3 (0-3 SEC) Mired in a three-game losing streak, Kentucky needs to find a way to stop the bleeding and stop it fast. The 37-34 home loss to Auburn Saturday was a real downer because the Wildcats had battled back in the second half and put themselves in a position to win. Now, they have two games upcoming at home that are absolutely vital. If the Wildcats can’t win at least one of these next two against South Carolina or Georgia, they can probably forget about extending their bowl streak to five straight years. Defense has been the problem here lately, specifically against the run. The Wildcats are last in the SEC in rushing defense and giving up an average of 190.3 yards per game. In six games, they’ve allowed 15 rushing touchdowns -- four more than anybody else in the league. So to make a run in the second half of the season, they have to get that part of their defense shored up and get running back Derrick Locke healthy. He’s not expected to play Saturday against South Carolina after suffering a stinger. Offensive MVP: WR Randall Cobb. There’s little doubt that Cobb is the most versatile player in this league. That was pretty well established before the season began. But as we hit the midway point, good luck in finding a player anywhere in college football who does more than Cobb and does it as well as Cobb. He’s produced touchdowns four different ways this season (rushing, passing, receiving and punt return) and has accounted for a touchdown in 20 of the past 22 games in which he’s played. more...
