Does not look like we will need boats for the WKU game

I hope the other Hurricane brewing on the East Coast does not drown us Saturday.

This will be our true home opener. Hope we are healthy. WKU is off to a bad start but is still much better than Indiana St.

How we play against WKU will either take the heat off Bobby or it will turn up the heat on the "Hot Seat" for Bobby.

I honestly have concerns. The way we played Saturday, Western will beat us.

Going to be a nice weekend according to WDRB and Wave 3. And yes, WKU could very well beat UofL

 

[Rollem Cards]

The Mountains will stop Florence from getting here.

The mid-Atlantic states will suffer that

 

[wilkie01]

I agree WKU will be hyped Saturday We better not come out flat and over confident!

Disagree.

WKU lost to 1AA Maine.
Unless they were looking ahead to UofL, this wont prove much.
These two games are scrimmages or glorified practices.

We'll find out against VA and FSU.

Western still has a LOT more talent than ISU.

Well, the good news is the Hurricane is forecasted to miss us. Weather service says we should be dry on Saturday.

We'll have to wait and see about the weather. This one is turning into a monster storm that is forecast to make landfall on Thursday and is aimed right at us. My hunch is the forecast will change.

Puma has turf toe, so Cunningham may start depending on severity.

Etheridge questionable but they are going to prep him for practice Wed or Thursday

I have been in many a Hurricanes in my life and they often change course, so yes it could all change by tomorrow.

It was not really possible to get much of a read on this team UofL based on either of the first two games. We were blown away by Alabama, but this Alabama team gives the appearance that they are going to blow away a lot of teams this year.

We struggled mightily against Indiana State, but like all football games played in torrential rainstorms, passing the football was very difficult, which gave the less athletic team a fighting chance. As a result, that game seemed much more competitive than it really was.

Western Kentucky is not very good this year. Of the 44 players listed as CUSA offensive all conference, WKU has one player (4th team tight end). Of the 48 defensive players listed as CUSA defensive all conference, WKU has 3 players - one 3rd teamer and two 4th teamers. WKU also had the 4th team punter. Steele lists them as having the worst offensive line and 2nd worst defensive line in CUSA, and #126 in all of the FBS in terms of experience. Their best unit is that they have the 5th best defensive backfield in CUSA.

If we have good weather, this UofL team should beat this WKU team by at least two TD's. A loss or a very narrow win against WKU would be scary in terms of what it would mean for the rest of this UofL football season.

WKU didn't play like they were overlooking Maine. They jumped on them early 21-0. Maine just chipped away, outplayed the Hilltoppers the rest of the way. Sanford made some really bad coaching decisions, as well. He's not a very good coach.
