UK-Texas A&M Game Prediction Thread

[Pobilly]

I think we are up for the game. I know we are out a left tackle and kash is sitting the first half, who else is banged up? That being said I like some am just waiting for the bad game to happen but I believe this team expects to pay good each and every game, each and every play. SO i will stick with the guys wearing numbers on their shirts and pick KENTUCKY 31 TEXAS A&M 16

This is unusual for me to pick a UK football game but here I go....

A&M -31

PS: I'm no good at picking games.

I certainly hope not.

Cats win 24-17

21-20 UK. I think people are overstating the importance of HFA in this case. I think the struggles of the dual threat QB are a thing of the past for this team although it'll be their toughest test yet. I think UK will control the clock and we'll see Wilson have the best game on the ground with the majority of the focus on Snell. I think UK will focus on Mond allowing Williams to have a good game like he did vs. Ark.

Im sure most of us are trying to prepare ourselves for a letdown. I dont think this team is like many UK teams of old. I think we are witnessing something special. Im trying not to give into the hype but this defense so far this year has been for real! Until they show me an uncorrectable weakness (penalties) I am going with the cats. UK28 A&M 20

A&M's punter may be the best in the country. I saw him roll one dead on the 2-yard line against Arkansas. Our defense must try to leave him a long way to punt.

Kentucky can and probably will win this game. We have older players and our defense can defeat their offense. Look for Mond (QB) to have a long game. I expect Josh Allen to be in his face all evening. Therefore I expect Mond to be forced to scramble and throw under pressure. …this will create poor passing and get us at least 3 turnovers. A&M is the best team we have played. I just think Kentucky is better. We mustn't forget the home field advantage. They say it is an impossible environment. 1/3 worse than the Swamp.

Nobody takes into account that we will continue to improve and we haven't shown much of what we can do. As Terry Wilson gets more and more experience, I think he will pass more. I think our receivers are very good. We just aren't using them YET.

Hold on, A&M, you're about to get your clocks cleaned.

Statistically, Texas A&M is the best team we've played if you remove their turnovers. Their run defense is very good, and they're #2 in the conference in total offense. South Carolina was meh in most every category. Not so for TAMU.

If you add in the injuries, Kash's suspension, and the fact that we get them on the road...I think this one's going to be a bruising. Hope I'm wrong.

I'm not sure A&M is the best team we will have played so far. They could be but they've yet to prove it. Florida may be the best we've played to this point. I think they're much better than many people give them credit for being. We'll know more after the LSU game; We've gone against one of the top DL's in Miss State. This included a Big, fast running QB with a strong arm. We've gone against a lot of speed, skilled WR's in Florida and SC. I think Jimbo has an excellent offensive mind. Will he be the best coach we've gone against? Maybe so. But he'll need two recruiting cycles to get the players he needs to run his offense, and play the defense he wants to play. Based on our play, including our offensive and defensive schemes, I'm surprised we're going into this game as an underdog again. Have we been playing "above out heads?" A team might do that once, Maybe twice. I've yet to see a team do that three times. I'm looking forward to this game. I'm not sure I'm excited about all the hyperbole that will occur when we win. It's a long season.

Somehow it slipped my mind that Jimbo was at A&M now and was Mark Stoops' former boss. To say the least, these two coaches ought to be pretty familiar with each other.

Cats won at the Swamp folks, they can win anywhere this season.j. UK 28 A&M 17
