This Kentucky offense is playing extremely well right now and thatâs because their head coach is finally playing to the teamâs strengths which are running the ball. Last year they only ran the ball 50% of the time, and this year they are at 63% which has resulted in a lethal duo combination at RB and two 1,000 yard rushers. I think they will have success here against Louisville who is in a major flat spot after their college football playoff dreams have been crushed.
Louisville also has played 1 team in the top 50 in rushing offense, Florida State. So their run defense in my opinion is very misleading. Kentucky has never been this big of an underdog in this rivalry game and I think the game will be much closer. Kentucky also remembers being up 24-7 at the half last year and blowing that game so do not be surprised if we see them with a shot to win this game late.
