Kinda surprised BAMA vs bye isn't there. With the struggles BAMA has had it might take another halftime adjustment.

Since you were kind and concerned enough to warn us about Duke, I'll warn you that UK is going to get their ass beat.

I was very back and forth on that one.

Football is about match ups and Tenneessee matches up really well against KY. But I come back to. If push comes to shove can the leaders on the team put on a cape and play hero ball. And Milton just doesn't show me he can.

Tennessee has the advantage in:

Rushing offense efficiency
Passing offense efficiency
Passing offense explosiveness
Sacks
Red Zone offense
3rd down offense
3rd down defense
Hidden Yards/Special teams
Turnovers
Yards per game allowed
Yards per play allowed

And they have done all of this against a tougher strength of record. Tennessee has shown the ability to maintain a balanced offense. Milton has more yards, on a higher completion percentage and less interceptions than Leary. He also has some dual threat ability unlike Leary. If Tennessee jumps out early they have the running efficiency to put together long sustained drives and Kentucky has not shown the ability to move the ball through the air to mount a comeback. If Tennessee falls behind Milton can move them down the field through the air, especially considering its still a Heupel attack that Brad White has shown no ability to stop. .

UT is a better offensive team than Kentucky. They are also a better defensive team than Kentucky.
