So, IS Kentucky Good Enough To Beat Louisville?
- Thread starter king ward
- Start date
NO< they will not. Louisville has a QB that runs, that will be a thorn to Ky. We didnt, Bentley can scramble, but cant "run". And i also Agree Florida holds Ky to 14 or less this week...
Well, my original thread title was erroneous. They play Louisville this year at Lexington. Still a good question, though. I'm not sure UK doesn't beat Florida. We won't have to wait long to find out.
Still a lot of football to be played till these two meet. A lot can happen between now and then, injuries, breakout players, etc.
If you mean if they played right now, then I agree with another poster I don't think UK could handle Lamar Jackson for a full 60 minutes

UK handled Lamar last year, won the game 41-38 in Louisville. Pretty evenly matched game last year, and I'd say that UL defense is worse (UK offense is probably worse, but UK defense markedly better). I expect another close game in Lexington this year.
What will our fanbase think if Kentucky smashes Florida in Lexington this weekend?
Probably, or probably not.
They matched up well last year with LJ fumbling on the goal line to take the lead. 2 pretty evenly matched teams. Just depends on who gets/forces the breaks.

UK is not as good as they were last year. They're better than us at the moment, but honestly, if we scored a TD off that first turnover, that would have been a different game.Instead, we just gave the ball back twice knowing our defense wasn't very good. Our offense needs to be our best defense and currently, we're struggling mightily.
Then we'll think they're good enough to beat UF. Still have to play UT, Vandy and UGA. BTW, is UF getting back the 9 suspended players for this game? That will have a lot of bearing on how good UK is perceived to be should they beat UF.
They handled him last year and UK's QB outplayed him.
........
.Only if they don't shake hands and piss them off.
Exactly last year. UL's OL was in shambles by end of last season. If they were to play now then like most I would give the nod to UL
2 things:
1. We don't play them till the end of the season
2. Their defense is awful
Just hope UKs offense takes flight.
I would think that my opinion of Fla (after their UT game) is confirmed - they really DO suck this year!
Im gonna roll with the odds in this one and after 30 straight, I dont see it ending this Saturday. Florida's D will not give up anything to Ky.
Ky is not good, which really sucks for us!
UK beat Lamar J on the road last year, LU defense is horrid THIS year and football has nothing to do w basketball.
I think they could. Louisville has one player. Get in his head early and it could happen.
Do I think that will happen? Doubt it.

In other words, nothing has changed for what is now a good many years.
Pretty much, Butch Jones just hasn't taken the expected leap at UT and every other team in the east has recently changed coaches and started over.
Kentucky has a bad team. The fact that they beat us does not make them good. We were just worse Saturday than they were. I believe Louisville had given up last year by the time they played Kentucky. They will beat Kentucky handily this year.
In the words of the Prophet dumbo, If SC played UK ten times SC would win eight..
In the last 14 games, only Alabama has a better record that UK. Trending in the right direction. If UK is bad, the rest of the SEC is a cakewalk. UK is 10-4 in that span and Bama is 13-1
And please look at the quality of those wins. Let me help: New Mex. St., S.C. (twice), Vandy, Austin Peay, So. Miss, E. Ky.. The only quality win in the last 14 games was against Louisville.
They will win their next 2 games as well against E. Michigan and Mo, but they're still far from a good team IMO.
Florida's offense put 28 on Kensucky at Kensucky and beat them. We put 13 on Kensucky in a loss here at home.
