At this point, we all know how big this game is for Rich Brooks and his Kentucky Wildcats. A win versus the hated Vols would propel UK into second place in the SEC East and would more than likely give them a New Years Eve or later bowl. The other thing stirring the Wildcats is the pride issue as the Vols have won 24 games in a row in the rivalry. I am sure the recent comments by Lane Kiffin about a "special edition 25th anniversary uniform" for the Vols did not sit well with the Wildcats and will only add fuel to the fire.
Regardless, this is the biggest game for UK and the matchups have been (and will be) picked apart every possible way between now and Saturday so let's add to the ever growing list of Vol/Cats comparisons and look at the common opponents and how the teams fared against them.

It was Alabama 38 & UK 20.
I think you show UK had 10 points.
Another thing to think about is that UT has gotten a little worse as the year has gone on with their D. Especially in the 2nd half. The reason, I think, is depth. look at what they have lost on the line backer side of things. At least 3 and maybe 4 are out. They lost their top two middle line backers. However, getting Janzen Jackson back this Saturday at safety will help a lot. The kid is a good player regardless of any character concerns.
You're right John..... it was late when I posted...
I think so too tailgating ... I alaso think the crowd will be the 12th man this time around
Well, it looks like the Vols will have one of their LB's back. That will make things a tad more difficult.
