Vandy Game

Well after beating EKU it is time to get back to the SEC. Luckily UK gets to start with Vanderbilt before its last two games against Georgia and Tennessee. Of course the last thing the Cats can do is overlook another opponent like they did MSU. If there is one thing I have learned from watching the Cats over the last 20 odd years of following Kentucky football is that they can not overlook any opponent. So what are the keys to the Cats being able to win this very important game and get back in the hunt for their unprecedent fourth straight bowl game. First and foremost they need to get healthy! We have no chance to win any of these final three games if we do not have Cobb, Locke, Lindley and even Hartline healthy and 100%. I know many want Newton thrown in to starting role but for recruiting purposes it is very important that we continue our string of bowl appearances. Another important part that is usually forgotten is the extra practice time that really helps mature the younger players and get them ready for next year. It is like having an extra spring practice and is a very important part in how teams such as Florida, Alabama, Georgia and others stay ahead of us. For Kentucky to ever be able to move up the SEC ladder they need to continue to get this extra practice time and develope their recruits.
Back to the Vanderbilt game our two lines need to dominate and the offense needs to establish the running game and also prove that they can pass the ball in a consistant matter. I also believe that it will help to play Newton and Cobb at the QB position. For one it makes the opponent prepair for more and it will help develop Newton for his future as starting QB. And of course we have to win at all cost! Pull out the whole playbook and be aggressive, attack the ball and play like there is no tomorrow. The team needs to act like this is the last game of the year and lay it all out on the line. Good-luck Cats! Beat Vandy!
