Kentucky gets up for one game a year (last year was UGA at home). I don’t think this is going to be easy.

I think it’s more likely they get up for Tennessee the next game. That is one of their permanent rivals

Out of curiosity bc I’m not good at math: in the Sark era what is the percentage of time our opponents score first vs us scoring first? And of the times our opponents score first, what percentage of those games do we win? Just curious. I suck at math. Didn’t know if those who don’t suck at math know the answer and can math smith it up for an answer. You don’t want that answer from me. It would take me a week. And be wrong. 😑

In football and basketball the game UK fans care most about is Louisville though some won't admit that. UK has a solid running back and decent offensive line but no passing attack at all so put everyone on the line of scrimmage and make Kentucky try to complete a pass. The two decent wide receivers UK had last year transferred.

Not sure about scoring first.  But I did read recently that we have not taken opening drive for TD in Sark era maybe 1 or 2 times total in what 55 games or so.

Sark's script, from which he will not deviate, isn't designed to score.  He's an offensive mastermind and a brilliant play-caller, so he could totally dial up an opening score if he wanted to.

Ketucky has played 3 P4 games, all in conference. All 3 of those teams reached at least 30 points, while Ketucky has score 50 total points in those games. I expect us to struggle early on offense as the OL gels after a few series and then for us to run away. However, if we have to sit Wisner again then I don't know shit about fuck for this game.

Texas must anticipate this to be Florida-like even if it is not and look at the Ole Miss game for guidance on how not to start slow and allow them to stay in the game.  Our last non-rivalry regular season night game was Iowa State in 2023. We won by 10 and this feels comparable. Expect fuckery and for Kentucky to punch above their weight.

Any word on Calzada’s status?

Do not take any of these “little” schools for granted…..they hate Texas and will throw their kitchen sink at us…stay focused…..gonna be a long 2 months.  One game at a time.

Nah, that's what's different about the SEC.  Little schools like Baylor, TCU, UH, etc hated Texas.  These little schools hate the Alabamas, Georgias, etc of their world.  They may grow to hate us but it ain't there yet.

We shouldn't take the game for granted because while college football isn't quite the NFL and "Any Given Sunday" things are trending that way...
