Here is what I’m NOT worried about come Saturday afternoon’s kickoff:
1) The hype. I’ve seen it stated in local Kentucky journalism that the game is “this week’s highly anticipated showdown between the SEC East rivals.” (kyforward.com). Did I miss something? Kentucky is a very solid football team as we’ll explore below, and certainly capable of winning Saturday, but when did they become a football rival of UGA? Did they change their color scheme to orange? I mean, I know it’s not completely one-sided, but still.
Maybe it’s the recency bias. Bama holds a 52-25-5 record versus LSU, and have won the last 7.
