Georgia is coming to town!

Cats Prepare for the Dawgs

The last time the Georgia Bulldogs came into the Commonwealth, the Kentucky Wildcats took down the Dawgs and then the goal posts in an electric 24-20 upset. That win helped propel Kentucky to a bowl birth, bowl win, and a new attitude for the program.

Now, though a win likely wont promt a massive rush the field celebration, a win will guarantee a bowl game for the third straight years, a feat the Cats have not done since the 1949-1951 seasons.

Senior defensive tackle Jeremy Jarmon feels that the team matches up well with the Georgia Bulldogs as he said, “We feel we match up well with this team. “, he continued to say “Georgia does some things that is stoppable.”

Although, the Georgia Bulldogs might be a s team the defense can stop through the air, it is the run game that has proved to be a weakness for the Cats. They have given up yards in masses to most SEC opponents this year and are giving their opponents 127 yards a game. The woes in the run defense seemed to be a major worry for Jarmon and the Cats but he knows how to stop running back Knowshown Moreno.

“You got to keep guys in their position” said Jarmon. “I think a lot of guys get out of position. Some times guys think they need to do more to make sure to limit him to less but that is not the way to do it.”

So, a must for Kentucky will be to stay in position, tackle, and not try and do to much. Doing too much might be what the defense has been doing the past few weeks as the defense has been decimated by injuried. However, the injured Cats are getting back to full health and ALL should be ready to go on Saturday.
