Half-Dozen Hyper-specific Predictions about…Kentucky

I’m back with the half-dozen thoughts in an attempt to roll out a preview upon you, the SEC Football Blogger reader. Today, the deepest of sleepers in the SEC. That’s right. I’m bringing you 6 calls on Kentucky.

None of them involving John Calipari buying a recruit from Seattle.

Last Year: 7-6 (3-5) t4th in the SEC East

1) There will be a brief interest in Randall Cobb as a Heisman trophy candidate in September after he gets off onto a ridiculous start. But while it will fade, he will end the year being a part of 20 Kentucky touchdowns. And they will come in all four possible ways.

2) Mike Hartline will get off to a good start again, but the highlight win of the season will come with Morgan Newton under center. The exact details of that call come later.

3) Youth will be served as true freshman running back Brandon Gainer will find himself managing to average 4.8 yards per game in at least 80 carries, and redshirt freshman outside linebacker Qua Huzzie gets himself 93 tackles.

4) Paul Warford’s had a bit of a misadventure during his time in Kentucky to say the least. But while the Junior season Trevard Lindley didn’t show up this year, Paul Warford will have double digit breakups and 5 picks.

With Paul Warford’s dismissal, Kentucky will finish in the bottom half of the SEC in terms of pass defense. And since I’m being hyper-specific? I’ll say 8th.

5) But that won’t stop Kentucky from having a bad October. The streak of losses will continue against Steve Spurrier. In fact? They’re going to go 1-4. But that being said? They will beat Georgia as their highlight win.

6) That is, unless you consider beating a likely down Tennessee team as the highlight.

I’m not exactly bearish on Kentucky, but at least in terms of record? I’m going to try and get it as right as humanly possible. If you’re paying attention, there may be an SEC East theme that develops. That being said?

2010 looks similar to 2009.

This year: 7-5, 3-5 in conference, tied for 3rd in the SEC East

    Only a hater & sore loser would bring Calipari into the article. And then you show your ignorance some more by not knowing who is on the UK team. Im not even going to tell you who it is so others can see it and see your low IQ. terrible article

    Bobby, two things. John Calipari’s history is that of a man who skips town one step ahead of an NCAA investigation. How many coaches have had final four appearances vacated at two schools? Just one, John Calipari.

    Cheap? Yeah, maybe a little. But a cheap shot based in truth.

    And two, I completely spaced on Warford getting dismissed. Thanks for telling me to hit the google, man. Welcome to the site.
