We can't let their crowd take us out of our game and we can't let up even if things start to go bad.
The two teams have somewhat similar stat profiles. Kentucky is certainly more prolific through the air, but the efficiency has been close with LSU more effective on the ground. Defensively, both squads have been incredibly efficient in the air overall with some notable struggles at times, but while Kentucky's run defense numbers have been better the two figures align much more closely versus conference opponents. Tackles for loss and third-down rates as well.
Give Mark Stoops a lot of credit. He came to Kentucky with a plan to put them on the path to the league's top half and he's done the things he's said he'd do to date. Kentucky's beefed up their recruiting in Florida, where Stoops has long ties due to stints at Miami and Florida State, and in Ohio -- one of the nation's better recruiting hot beds that some forget is just across the border from Kentucky.
Stoops is, of course, the younger brother to Bob and Mike Stoops, and while I don't see much of a family resemblance, he opens his mouth and that depressing, rust-soaked Ohio accent comes right out. I joke, but he's done a phenomenal job in Lexington, enough that you have to think he could be considered for some higher-profile gigs that could be coming open soon.
One of the smarter things he's done is run an offense that harkens back to one of the more exciting eras of Kentucky football back in the late 90s.
