Kentucky vs Vanderbilt Game Preview

Why Vanderbilt Will Win

The Commodores aren’t playing that poorly.

They have yet to win an SEC game, and they’re on a five-game losing streak, but the offensive line has been okay, there aren’t a slew of big mistakes – four turnovers against South Carolina aside – and being able to control the clock and avoid screwing up might be enough to hang around with Kentucky.

The Wildcats can’t seem to get going. They’ve won two of their last three games, and they’re coming off a good road win over Missouri, but the running game has been hit-or-miss, a banged up Will Levis is fighting to get to 200 passing yards, and …

Why Kentucky Will Win

If the running game was ever going to work, this would be the time.

Kentucky couldn’t get the ground attack in gear against Tennessee in a 44-6 loss with nothing working, but it hammered Mississippi State and will keep fighting the good fight to control the game – even if it doesn’t work.

No, UK doesn’t run well, but Vanderbilt should be the antidote for that. It’s allowing 4.6 yards per carry, is giving up 140 yards or more in every game but two, and it’s getting hit very, very hard against SEC teams.

Everyone but Missouri ran for over five yards per carry on the Commodores, but …

What’s Going To Happen

Kentucky will do everything possible to not turn the ball over.

It gives it up multiple times on a regular basis, but it didn’t do that against Missouri and everything worked out in a big fight.

Stay conservative, control the clock, and win on third downs. Vanderbilt can’t get its defense off the field and can’t keep the chains moving. That’s a killer against the Cats.

Why Kentucky Will Win

The Vanderbilt offense just isn’t working well enough.

The defense really is better than the overall numbers might make it appear, but it’s not getting any help from an O that only scored more than 17 points once, and even then that was in a 54-21 loss to an Ole Miss that gives out big yards and points like candy.

Kentucky isn’t exactly a high-octane thrill ride on offense, but it’s great at controlling games coming up with the big plays in key moments, and it lives off of takeaways with 12 on the year. The Cats are +8 in turnover margin in the two wins, and -4 in the four losses.

Vanderbilt is an SEC-worst -8 on the season, it turned it over two times or more in every games and it has given it away eight times in the last two outings. Give UK a few takeaways, and it’s over. But …

CFN College Football Experts Picks

Why Vanderbilt Will Win

The Kentucky offense is right in the Vandy wheelhouse.

The Wildcats don’t crank up big offensive production sort of by design – it’s a controlled team that focuses more on tempo than putting up big, splashy plays – but they’re dead last in the SEC in total offense, passing offense, and first downs.

What’s going right? The Commodores might not be scoring, but the passing game has started to kick in, with Ken Seals hitting Ole Miss for 319 yards and Mississippi State for 336 yards. There have been too many picks, but he’s generally been accurate.

Vandy doesn’t have a problem with penalties, the offensive line hasn’t been bad, and the team is able to pull a Kentucky and control the clock a bit.

CFN Experts Picks: NFL

What’s Going To Happen

Kentucky is the one team that works with what Vanderbilt does and has the capability of doing … and vice versa.

UK will do just enough offensively to go along with a defense that will take the ball away twice, keep Vandy pinned deep with a great day from the punting game, and will use the SEC’s best scoring defense to get through with a desperately needed win.
