    I don't know much about KY football this year. I hope that they are putrid and that the Fighting Tigers have an easy day at the office.

    Is this a trap game?

    Sandwiched tween a huge win and Florida? Definitely a trap game. I don't think we'll get caught though it isn't a reach to think we could. The last time Ky. beat us they were pretty putrid then too. If my memory serves me correctly they were unranked.

    I don't think so. Kentuckys offense is not very good. Their QB has made some mistakes. I don't see them scoring more than 10 points. On the other hand we score in at least the 30s.

    No. They may not have been ranked (I honestly don't remember), but that was probably the best Ky team you'll ever see. Remember, they had Andre' Woodson, who was in the Heisman conversation for a good part of the year.

    I think what saves this from being a trap game is the fact that it's at home, and our boys have been on the road almost the entire year. They will be jacked-up on that alone. Plus, this was the very program that took us down the last time we were ranked AP #1 during the season, so Miles doesn't have to look very far for an example of an upset.

    Nah, they had a decent team back in '07 when they beat us in OT. They were ranked 17, if memory serves.

    Their QB has 5 TD passes, and 6 INTs.
    They are ranked 107th in passing offense. 90th in rushing.
    And they have only beaten Western Kentucky and Central Michigan at home.
    And lost to Louisville and Florida..at home.
    They haven't played a road game this year... and their first is at TS.

    No because LSU isn't coming off a huge emotional win. It's coming off another day at work.

    If WVU had given us more of a battle and LSU had to muster and come from behind to win in the last minute I'd be more concerned.

    By definition, I suppose it is. And if we were a lesser team, I might be worried.

    But I don't see these Tigers getting caught in that trap.

    NO, not a trap game, because UK is bad. Their stats speak for themselves. LSU is going to be fired up to be back at home, after 3/4 on the road. I think the players take care of business early and look forward to an afternoon Bloody Mary.

    LSU- 56

    UK- 12
