Week 9: UK Wildcats

Filed Under Mississippi State Sports | Posted on October 26, 2006

Well our bulldogs come into week 9 versus Kentucky after putting up a great fight versus Georgia. How will we respond after losing such a tough game with Georgia? Will we come out and play in the first half? Hopefully last weeks game versus the other SEC Dogs will give our team some confidence and have them playing well on Saturday.

Here are some Kentucky links of interest:

From the Web:

Kentucky at Mississippi State—When an upcoming opponent on Georgia’s schedule takes on the team that just gave the Red and Black a scare, the loyal denizens of Bulldog Nation will sit up and take notice. There is much about this game that will not be pretty, as the squads from Lexington and Starkville rank 11th and 12th in the conference in scoring defense, pass defense, and rushing offense. However, the Wildcats are performing respectably well in other areas, scoring over 24 points per game and amassing almost 250 aerial yards per outing, while the Western Division Bulldogs lack the weaponry with which to exploit adequately the visitors’ weaknesses. In a sloppy, ugly football game even Jefferson Pilot couldn’t love, Kentucky will notch a victory in the Magnolia State.  From Dawg Sports

More to come!
