Well my 2-0 Thursday start was spoiled by a 2-5 mark yesterday.
4-5 YTD.
Saturday Wins: Nebraska, Colorado
Saturday Losses: Duke, Clemson, South Florida, Auburn and Miss State.
I can't complain about bad beats when 3 of my losers got shut out (2 of them at home no less).
I have to get back on my horse here.
Kentucky (-5')
U of L is breaking in a new QB (Stefan Lefors) in his first start on the road. Lefors is only 6 feet tall; whereas, Ragone was about 6-3' and he had a ton of balls batten down LY vs UK. Ragone was only 14-for-39 last season. On defense they only return 2 starters in their front 7 and 1 out of 4 in the secondary.
The Cards were also -15 in turnover margin last season.
U of L also has a new coach (Bobby Petrino). Petrino's one meeting against UK was when he was the OC in 1998 and the Cats beat the Cards 68-34 in Louisville.
I also don't like it that the Cards cannot run the ball (104th in the nation last year). They only had a 100-yd rusher in 2 of 13 games last season. In fact they have only had a 100-yd rusher 9 times in the last 3 years (38 total games).
UK is still tough to prepare for b/c of the passing attack led by Jared Lorenzen and the option attack led by Shane Boyd.
