The TaxSlayer Bowl features two teams particularly adept at running the ball against two defenses not particularly well-suited to stopping it. A likely scenario is a methodical grinding down of the clock in a slow game of attrition. The game would appear poised to be a sacrifice to the god Barry Switzer and his wishbone offense.
At the same time, Kentucky does have a distinct edge throwing the ball against Georgia Tech and the advantage must be exploited. Whether it’s a scenario involving Kentucky playing catch-up late in the game, or big passing plays allowing UK to get an early lead on a ball-control offense, the passing game can be decisive.
