GAMEDAY on KSR: Beat Tennessee Edition

We hate Tennessee. First of all, it’s because it’s Tennessee. We just hate them because they’re low down, they’re dirty, and they’re some snitches. We hate Phillip Fulmer and we hate their colors. We hate Neyland Stadium because it’s like a garbage truck worker convention. We hate all their quarterbacks. We just hate Tennessee, man.

Tennessee’s colors, it’s that throw-up orange. It’s not that orange you can sit with, it’s that puke inside of a pumpkin orange. And we don’t like pumpkins. We really don’t like Tennessee, we can’t stress that enough.

And it’s time for them to go down in Knoxville.

Vegas, TV, Radio

As expected, the Volunteers come in as favorites, with the line currently sitting at -6.5 in favor of UT, with an over/under set at 44.5. The line began at UT-6, moved up to UT-5.5, then jumped back to UT-6.5 last night.

In three games, UK has covered the spread one time (Mississippi State), while Tennessee is is 1-1-1 on the year following a push in Week 1 at South Carolina, an overwhelming win against Missouri, and a blowout loss at Georgia last weekend.

Looking at ESPN’s PickCenter, while their advanced analytics predict a Tennessee win 67.9 percent of the time, they actually believe Kentucky’s money line is a strong value pick, as is UK+5.5 and the under (45.5).

Tom Hart, Jordan Rodgers, Cole Cubelic will be on the call for the SEC Network starting at 12 p.m. ET. If you can’t watch all of the action, you can hear the Voice of the Wildcats, Tom Leach, on a variety of platforms.

Uniform Combination

What uniform combination will the Kentucky football team be sporting down in in Knoxville?

Be prepared for a lot of white.

Friday afternoon, UK announced the Wildcats will be wearing blue helmets, white jerseys, white pants, white cleats, and white gloves.

Kentucky Football injury update

After being sidelined due to injury to start the week, two of Kentucky’s most important players returned to the practice field leading up to the Tennessee game.

According to UK head coach Mark Stoops, defensive end Josh Paschal, who suffered a sprained knee in Kentucky’s win over Mississippi State last week, is back practicing with the team.

“He’s out there, he’s practicing,” Stoops said Thursday evening. “We’ll see how it goes.”

As for wide receiver Bryce Oliver, who has missed all three of Kentucky’s games to start the season due to a lingering hamstring injury, he also returned to practice and is expected to play against Tennessee.
