Kentucky's pretty stout against the run up the middle. Gamecocks really need to lean heavily on our gap scheme runs off tackle where we've been most productive, get behind Adkins/Campbell and Jakai Moore and attack them on the edges, and then use success on that action to start getting some play action shots deep to Juice, Bell, and Brooks.

Offensively, their line hasn't been as good as it has in previous years, so Gamecocks just need to weather the storm and try to get a few negative plays so we can get them in third and long, send some pressure and try to force Levis into making some mistakes.
 
Clean up the mental mistakes, if the ball hits you in the hands catch it, do not be afraid to stack the box to try and make them throw the ball for our secondary to create turnovers... Our DLine has to play with discipline all night so I expect some CB and LB blitzes to help them...
Let Lloyd run off the intermediate passing game with Bell and Stogner up the middle and crossing routes that when wide open we have to hit, do the same thing with deep routes... Rattler has to hit the touch passes with accuracy to give playmakers the ability to not break stride more consistently...
 
Stop with the penalties in the secondary, turn around and find the ball. Create turnovers on D, eliminate them on O. DL has to get healthy and man up quickly, be disruptive in the backfield. QB needs to take what's there and WRs make the catch. Same with RBs, don't look for a 10 yarder while running side to side. Take 3 yards if that's what's there. Situational play calling needs to improve. Very skeptical we can do most of this and even less optimistic in our OC. Anything can happen but UK is better coached and more talented. Sad to say. Better times are hopefully ahead.
