Your question was "can they win?" and the answer is yes. However, I think UK will have a tough time consistently stopping a powerful LSU running game for 4 quarters. Barring turnovers by LSU, I cant see Ky being able to score enough to overcome the strong, clock-eating ground game. I look for a relatively low scoring game, somewhere around 24-13 LSU'

Now, with all that being said, I do think that UK has a legitimate shot at this game, even though it is in Baton Rouge. The talent disparity isnt what it usually is, although I think LSU is still ahead in this department, especially up front. However, if things like turnovers, defensive scores, and good special teams plays occur, UK is definetly good enough to knock them off. One of the things in UK's favor is that LSU has been struggling some in the kicking game so, if its close, Ky has an even better chance.

I sure hope that UK can pull this one out but, as a lifelong Ky fan (and Im in my 50's), I know better than to get to hopped up on the Cats....I have had my heart broken to many times. I sure wish this one was in Lexington. I just hope Miss St wins. I like the idea of the #1 team in the country rolling into Commonwealth feeling very good about themselves facing an angry group of Cats with a chip on their shoulder. With a win this week, Ky wont sneak up on anyone!
