The Cats take on the Tigers today at Auburn in what could be a key turning point in the season for the Cats. With a new quarterback and the hardest part of their schedule in the rear view mirror, the season starts today for UK. The Cats need four more wins to become bowl eligible for the fourth straight year. With a new quarterback and injuries to key players, this task becomes a tough one for the coaching staff.
Brett Dawson has a nice article about UK hoping to make a big return with great quotes from Corey Peters, Christian Johnson, Steve Brown and Randy Sanders. UK will have their hands full today against a highly potent Auburn offense. Gene Chizik likes to run misdirection plays and expect to see a no-huddle offense for most of the game. The article also points out some interesting stat comparisons between the two teams. I've heard several predictions and only one has UK pulling off the upset. Most everyone has Auburn favored by two touchdowns. Give your prediciton in the thread.
