UL Really a Tough Game?

I am so tired of hearing about UL football from UL fans. I'm sorry, but UL fans are the most delusional fans I've come across in all of sports. I've lived all the way around the country in several places and I stand by that statement.

This year, UL has both a decimated offensive line and defensive line while UK returns a lot of talent on both lines. In fact, many believe UK's defensive line is the best they've seen since Art Still's team in the 1970s. Couple this with a defensive secondary being anchored by Trevard Lindley and a very talented group of linebackers, and you've got the recipe for a great UK defense.

UK's running game could be one of the best in the SEC with Derrick Locke, Alphonso Smith and senior Tony Dixon. They will be running behind a UK offensive line that was impressive last year and will only get better this year with players such as Zipp Duncan, Jeffries, and Alexander.

So how could UL be favored to win? Many people around the country just don't believe UK can survive the losses of Andre Woodson, Keenan Burton, and Raphael Little, but they haven't looked very deep into our roster. People, who know UK football know that UK has a lot of talent returning in all spots. The only spot I'm worried about is wide receiver because we are very young at the position.

In closing, I don't even think it's going to be close. UK will win this game running away easily. UK will control both lines of scrimmage and they will run the ball and the CLOCK effectively. UL has lost all of their running backs to scandal, transfer, or injury and I don’t believe their O-Line can protect Hunter Cantwell effectively against UK’s D-Line.

I can't wait to see the UL delusions wiped away with a new pair of glasses once UK wins the first game of the season.

See ya soon,
