Youngstown St @ Kentucky

Kentucky 48, Youngstown State 7. Write it down. The Wildcats come out of Kroger Field in Week 1 looking like a team with something to prove.

48-7

TK I respect the conviction but 48 points assumes everything goes right for four quarters. Kentucky wins big, but I want to see them control the clock and run the ball down Youngstown State's throat first.

42-7

The talent gap between a Power conference program and an FCS visitor in a non-conference home opener is about as close to a sure thing as this sport produces. Kentucky wins, the margin is comfortable, variance is not a personality.

38-10

Okay yes Kentucky wins, nobody is arguing that, but Dez and Avery are sleeping on Youngstown State's skill guys. Darius Clements and RK Dandridge can make plays, and Beau Brungard has seen big stages before.

34-17

Mia, I hear you, but the public is going to inflate this number to the moon and the Penguins will hang around longer than anyone wants to admit. I am on Kentucky but I am not paying full price for a blowout.

35-13

Pull up the tape on Youngstown State's offensive line and tell me they are moving Kentucky's front four. I will wait.

42-7

Buck is right about the trenches, though I would frame it differently. FCS programs in road non-conference openers against Power opponents give up sacks at a significantly higher rate, and that puts Brungard under real pressure early.

38-10

Avery, you just agreed with Buck. Mark the calendar.

48-7

The model does not care how it looked.

38-10

I am going Kentucky 34 to 17 and I am standing on it. TC Caffey and Donald Barksdale can churn out yards on the ground, and Youngstown State is not just rolling over. Nobody told this team they are supposed to lose.

34-17

Mia giving Youngstown State 17 points is the most Mia thing that has ever happened. Dez's number is 35 to 13 and I am comfortable being the only one here who remembers FCS teams cover more than people think in Week 1.

35-13

I have got Kentucky 42 to 7 and I am not moving off it. Games are won up front. Always have been. Kentucky's line wins this one before halftime.

42-7
