No. 21 Texas at Kentucky: It's a night game!

Texas will take on the Kentucky Wildcats at 6 pm. CST on Saturday, on ESPN. 

The line opens at Texas -12.5

O/U: 41.5

Lexington at night, gotta bring it abd focusing on getting in rhythm offensively and defensively. Even though they’re not great we all know they play hard and the Stoops’ love to mess with Texas…

Gonna be a nice road test, can’t sleep walk in Lexington.

Ask Kirby Smart how hard it is to win at Kroger Field.

For sure!

Not as top end talented as some former Mark Stoops teams, but they play 4th quarter games every year with teams more talented. 

How hard is it going to be for Texas to keep the same intensity they had at Joklahoma for the rest of this regular season?  IMHO this will be a huge test for the leadership on this team to keep the focus where it needs to be.  Week to week, game to game, play to play.

Agreed, but also, you’d have to think that as young and skilled as this team is, they’d only get better as the year goes on. 
 

That seems like too many commas, but English is hard, just like winning.

Last night? All he does is talk the ear off of the ref, stand in the field 60%, and talks all the fam time at the refs…

I live near ATL and I can’t stand his antics

It's imperative. 

Not sure you will bring 100% of the same emotion as last week. That's human nature. But if the team doesn't bring the physicality to the road this week, it will become a danger zone game. Kentucky isn't as talented as past teams under Stoops, but they seemingly play into the 4th quarter against teams better/more talrnted every year at home. 

Ole Miss 30-23 this year

Georgia 13-12 and Vanderbilt 20-13 last year

etc...

I'm disappointed in Auburn fans for not throwing something.

Conventional wisdom might want an early kickoff but I think playing on the road at night in front of a juiced up crowd in Kain-tuck might be helpful to the Longhorns. Why? Because it's easier to be flat the week after OU in afternoon games. For years Texas played afternoon games in Arkansas and dropped quite a few the week after drilling the Sooners. Hook 'Em!

Should be a good one. No weekends off in the SEC. Love it...

Me too

 

but the safety was trying to disrupt the snap.  Arguably there should have been a penalty on Auburn, but clearly the argument on the TO appeared to be BS 

 

the officials are not good

Agreed.  He is a disgrace to the coaching profession!!!

Agreed 100% lol. Especially after they already caught the shaft from the OU game!

I’m not sure how juiced up the crowd will be. Basketball school supporting a poor football team in a smaller stadium. Somehow manage to get them down 10 points and I bet it’s a veritable mausoleum. 
 

Their basketball scrimmage against whoever on Friday night will likely have more atmosphere. 

Let’s go to battle! This will be our 2nd SEC road night game after A&M last year.

Are there any Texas tailgates happening before the game?
