Kentucky will have another good season. The team won't be as explosive as this years but they'll be good. Next years quarterback should be Curtis Pulley (Last weeks scout team player of the week). The running game returns Tony Dixon, Alfonso Smith, and Derrick Locke. Dicky Lyons Jr returns also with Demoreo Ford at wide-out. The special teams should get better, but the defense will be exceptional next year with Peters, Johnson, Lindley, McClinton, Harrison, Jarmon, and Myron Pryor. I think it will be a 7-5 or 6-6 season, but they will do what they can to get better over the offseason.

I think there will be a definite drop-off next year. For one thing, I'm not sold on Curtis Pulley as QB at all, if he is the starter I don't see us having much of a passing game. If Hartline ends up being the starter he will end up being a good QB, but will have his growing pains just like Woodson did in his first year as starter. The running attack will be very strong, though, with several talented backs vying for playing time. The defense loses Woodyard, which will hurt, but returns most everybody else. Plus, LSU goes off the schedule, so I think the Cats could still get to 6-6 and be bowl-eligible.
