While that is true... I just don't see it happening like that. Shutting down their running game is going to be the key. If it was as simple as saying it, Miss St would have done it.We must take away Kentucky 's ability to run the football in order to win next week. Our defensive line must give the same effort that they did against Vanderbilt and shut down Bennie Snell.
And Florida too. Benny had 175 on the gators.While that is true... I just don't see it happening like that. Shutting down their running game is going to be the key. If it was as simple as saying it, Miss St would have done it.

Agreed they have a good defense and so far good defense has been able to shut us down. Need to scratch our way into this one. This will be the battle of the trenches for both teams. I think AJ needs more snaps
They have a quarterback that can beat you also. Ask Florida. This ain't going to be a simple task.While that is true... I just don't see it happening like that. Shutting down their running game is going to be the key. If it was as simple as saying it, Miss St would have done it.
If I may infer from "interesting" that it will be revealing, I concur completely.While Benny Snell is the most important part of the Kentucky offense, the statement that if you stop Snell you win the game is a extreme oversimplification.
* Kentucky has a very good defense. Kentucky just gave up 201 yards to a very good Mississippi State offense. South Carolina has a find a way to score about 21-24 points.
* Kentucky's offense didn't pass against MSU because they didn't have to. In the 2nd half they dominated MSU so thoroughly on the ground passing wasn't necessary. They can pass when they need to.
Saturday's game should be very interesting.

We nor anyone else has been able to shut down Snell. What makes you think that we are capable of doing this at this time?
That is debatable especially miss st.
I'll have what you're having.Because we’re better than Florida and Mississippi State...
Shutting down KY is a big difference than defending Vandy. Seems like UK finally has the right pieces of the puzzle and as optimistic as I usually am, this UK team looks like a challenge that we may not be ready cornWe must take away Kentucky 's ability to run the football in order to win next week.

Our receivers run very poor routes. Hard to get separation.Agreed they have a good defense and so far good defense has been able to shut us down. Need to scratch our way into this one. This will be the battle of the trenches for both teams. I think AJ needs more snaps

True but one time they had this guy named Randall Cobb and though he was clearly the most talented player we couldn’t stop him.
Benny had good games those days. I agree that their defense has been good and half of their success. But if we can limit the offensive half, that really plays in our favor.Shut down Snell is all SC has to do to win... how about Kentucky's defense that held Florida to 16 points AT Florida... and held Miss. St to 7 points.
Actually we ONLY have to outscore them.Since we have not stopped anyone running the ball so far - not even Coastal - I'm not optimistic about our ability to stop the run against Kentucky. They are as good at running as anyone we play. I think we will just have to outscore them, win the TO margin, and have some good ST play.
I’m hoping that this Kentucky team is becoming overhyped and they will fall to the same fate we do when we’re overhyped. Odd though that they are ranked, and it’s a home game for them but we still are 2 point favorites.
The latter 2 will be required in order to achieve the former.Actually we ONLY have to outscore them.

That sounds better. Honestly still a slap in the face to Kentucky. Home team, ranked you should be at least a field goal favorite over am Unranked teamit's now UK -1.5

UK has turned into a very well balanced team. they have weapons all over the field that they don't get a lot of credit for having (at least until the last couple weeks). Plus they have a lot of seniors which means that they have played a lot of snaps.We must take away Kentucky 's ability to run the football in order to win next week. Our defensive line must give the same effort that they did against Vanderbilt and shut down Bennie Snell.
Hmm, good plan but I'm sure Fla and Miss St had the same plan, do the Cocks have a better Def than those two I guess we will find out Sat.We must take away Kentucky 's ability to run the football in order to win next week.

I agreed with you mostly. If you shut down own run and make us one dimensional it’ll be a long day. But we have more ability to score fast so I think if we were to get up by more than a score Kentucky will struggle to catch up. But I also know if we can’t move the ball Kentucky can use a whole quarter on a drive. Our run defense and back end tackling isn’t exactly great.As a UK fan, the thing that concerns me most is Bentley. UK offense will get some rushing yards, but we're not a scoring juggernaut. Franks and Fitzgerald are both dicey as passers, so Bentley will be the best passing QB we have seen this year. I'm not sold on Bentley as a superstar, but he is better than anyone we have faced. I think South Carolina will move the ball through the air, so I could see this game going into the high 20s or low 30s and a one score game either way.
