EKUAlum05 Wrote:Exactly... that's why I think UT beats South Carolina. Tennessee plays on an emotional gradient. With the exception of last year and Fulmer's last game, UT does not "get up" for UK anymore, as well they shouldn't because they have dominated UK for so long. UK's best hope is that UT enters 6-5 so they are not playing for a bowl bid and all in all they are capping off a disappointing season.
Additionally, their style of offense is very condusive for UK's defense to match up with. UK's biggest struggle comes against teams with either deep, tall receivers, athletic TE's, or against mobile QB's, when UK can play their safety's up and their LB's aren't forced to cover the pass they are very good against the run. Crompton is far from mobile, UT's WR depth is poor thanks to injuries, and Stocker is an average TE at best.
Georgia, OTOH, creates some issues for UK as they have a very talented WR corps led by AJ Green, they have a very athletic TE in Orson Charles, and even though Cox is not a very good QB and will not run the ball much, but he can move around the pocket pretty well and keep plays going with his feet.
I agree with you except on one thing.. I think Luke Stocker is a little better than average. With our lack of depth and playmakers at receiver, Stocker is emerging as a big time target in our passing game. Might not be as athletic as Charles for Georgia, but he's becoming more involved in our offense. Plus, he is being recognized for his play. He made the Mackey Award (Top TE) midseason watch list, which includes 22 players.
You're right about Georgia. Their big receivers have the ability to stretch the field and create some mis-matches. Which in turn, can open up the run. Its hard to find a better receiver than A.J. Green in my opinion. They're offense is very similar to Tennessee, you just don't know which offense will show up. The offense that ran up 52 points against Arkansas, or the offense that scored 3 points against Tennessee.
