I believe Kentucky will hang in there for the first half. Bama pulls away in the second half.

Western Kentucky (vs Bama - vs Kentucky)
Offense
Total Yards 158 - 157 (Pretty much a wash)
Rushing Yards 42 - 142 (obviously Bama has the edge in run D)
Passing Yards 166 - 15 (put into perspective, WKU threw 27 passes against Bama and only 14 vs Kentucky. Probably due to the fact they had more success running against the Cats. Still, 15 is impressive)
Defense
Yards Allowed 557 - 398 (though the scores were similar, this shows Bama was more dominate)
Rushing 281 - 216 (figure in # of plays and it's pretty even. 5.7 yds per carry for both teams)
Passing 276 - 182 (Same number of attempts and completions, the difference comes in yards per completion. 9 for Bama, 6 for Kentucky. This means Bama receivers do a much better job in the Yards After Catch category)
I think this shows that to win the game, Bama needs to run the ball and stop the run. KY's strength is stopping the pass and their weakness is throwing the ball downfield on offense. If we can establish the run and prevent Kentucky from doing the same, it should be an easy win.

Offense- Who knows. The Kentucky offensive line is suspect at times making the running backs earn their yards. Hartline 95% of the time throws the safe ball (2-5 yards) and lets the receivers and back pick up additional yards. I think it will be hard for Kentucky to win but not impossible. SEC football usually gives us great games.

Okay, friend, I can understand that you are very excited about the team you support being better than they have been in a while.
Hey, four and zero is a good start for any team, especially a team like Kentucky that hasn't always had the best of times. The Wildcat fans are starved, they want it, they need it, it is something special for them to be able to quote stats.
Here is what I would do after the game if I were you. First of all, find solace in the fact that your team is 4-1. Maybe they will not have 4 or 5 players put out of the game with injuries like Georgia did.
All of you guys still have the whole season ahead of you and losing to 'Bama will make you stronger as a fanbase and as a team. It really will, I am not being facetious.
Don't feel angry when the game is over, feel relieved. Don't blame the referees. Thank the referees for not calling to many penalties against either team and prolonging an agonizing death on national television.
I respect you as a person and as a Kentuckian, but as a fan of the Wildcat football team, you deserve no respect.
Just remember, it isn't you out there that is going to feel like you have been trampled by elephants. Your pain will not be physical, but only mental.
Whatever you do to cope with adversity, whatever you do to fight off depression or feelings of hopelessness, go ahead and prepare for that. Get everything in place and be ready.
Have a nice day, little guy.
Roll Tide!!!
