Ole Miss vs Kentucky Game Preview

Why Kentucky Will Win

The Wildcats have their guy back.

They’ve been able to get to 4-0 with no running game, but Will Levis is playing like the big pro prospect quarterback he is, the defense has held on, and …

2.4 yards per carry for the nation’s 123rd-ranked ground game. That’s about to change with Chris Rodriguez back after missing the first month thanks to an off-the-field issue.

The 1.379-yard, nine touchdown back of last year will be fed the ball right away against an Ole Miss defense that’s been better, but got rumbled on for 262 yards in the way-too-close 35-27 battle against Tulsa.

Give Rodriguez a little time to get back to form, but if he can do anything, Levis will go off.

NFL Expert Picks, Week 4

Why Ole Miss Will Win

The Ole Miss offense can run a little, too.

USC transfer QB Jaxson Dart has been solid, but it’s the ground game that took over over the first month with an SEC-best 281 yards per game with a great rotation.

Kentucky has been solid against the run, and it should keep Dart from taking off, but it has to deal with a passing attack for the first time all season.

The Rebels will do what they do on the ground, but as long as Dart is able to hit 60% and crank it up on third downs, it’ll take UK out of its game.

There’s little pressure coming from the Wildcat pass rush, the offensive line is getting Levis lit up, and …

What’s Going To Happen

No, really, can Kentucky handle a passing game?

Nothing against Anthony Richardson, but he’s not quite there yet with his consistency – UK came up with the big pick six needed to beat Florida.

No, really, can Ole Miss handle a ground attack?

Georgia Tech doesn’t really count, and Tulsa’s day last week was a bit alarming.

Both teams will try to control the tempo, and both teams will do what they do on offense, but …

The Ole Miss defense – improved as it might be – won’t come through late.

The UK backfield will pull this out.

Why Ole Miss Will Win

Welcome to the Ole Miss passing game.

The secondary might have been lit up like a Christmas tree against Florida, but Matt Corral and the Rebel attack did some chucking, too. There were some trick plays involved, but overall, Ole Miss threw for 443 yards and three scores with 395 and three touchdowns coming from Corral.

At about the same time that was happening last Saturday, either Auburn QB Bo Nix became really good, or the Kentucky secondary is in trouble.

The Wildcats allowed 233 yards and three touchdowns to Nix in the loss to the Tigers. Worst of all for UK, its formula sort of worked and it still lost by 16. It controlled the tempo, the clock, did a good job on third downs, and it outplayed AU in several ways, and it still didn’t matter.

Ole Miss has to make this a bit of a shootout from the start. Kentucky QB Terry Wilson threw well, but it wasn’t enough.

CFN Experts Picks: NFL

Why Kentucky Will Win

The UK running game should work a whole lot better.

There isn’t a Benny Snell or Lynn Bowden in the backfield, but the Wildcats have the parts to run well enough to win. They’re 15-1 over the last two years when they run for 195 yards or more.

Florida ran for 196 against the Rebels last week.

The Kentucky style still works if everything goes right. Run the ball, don’t turn the ball over, don’t make a slew of mistakes, and DOMINATE the time of possession battle.

Expect the Cats to have the ball for close to 35 minutes, and expect the running game to work against a suspect Ole Miss defensive front that’s not going to do a whole lot to get behind the line.

CFN Experts Picks: College Football

What’s Going To Happen

The Ole Miss passing game is going to be a problem.

The Kentucky pass rush will be just okay, but Corral will have plenty of time to hit on enough big plays to make this a fight. The problem will the Rebel offense – it won’t be on the field enough.

The Wildcats will grind out a win with a long fourth quarter drive to put it away.
