Forward of tonight’s cross-division conflict, listed below are some closing daring predictions because the Cats look to get again on observe underneath the lights at Kroger Discipline:
I am detached on Kentucky handing over an eye-popping efficiency tonight. I do assume the protection will flip in pretty much as good of a efficiency as doable, nevertheless, even when they wilt late in opposition to Miss State and Will Rogers. Although the Bulldogs’ QB has taken excellent care of the soccer this season, I believe the Cats will purchase a pair of turnovers, each through interceptions on 50/50 passes. Give me the highest two corners, Carrington Valentine and Keidron Smith, to every haul in a decide.
With linebacker Jacquez Jones set to overlook his second recreation in a row, D’Eryk Jackson will as soon as once more be requested to step up within the beginning center linebacker position. After touchdown six tackles every week in the past in opposition to South Carolina, I just like the junior to give you one other huge recreation, grabbing a number of tackles-for-loss, ending with double-digit tackles.
