First of all, a quick note:  I will be at Churchill Downs today enjoying the Breeder's Cup simulcast.  I expect to be able to watch some of the game, and comment from time to time via the iPhone, but the post-game comment may be late (it depends upon whether or not Ken has time to put up post-game commentary).

This game is exceptional because of the fact that UK will have a new starter at quarterback, be it Morgan Newton or Will Fidler.  That is enough to get all of us excited to see what Brooks can do under the duress of having his starting quarterback down, something that has rarely happened under his tenure.

Why is this man smiling? Because he has a 16-game winning streak over Kentucky.

Game day, folks.  It's time for Kentucky to take on their most bitter rival in every sport, the Louisville Cardinals.  Here are the particulars of this contest:

LOUISVILLE at KENTUCKY
When: Noon; Saturday, Sept. 19
Where: Commonwealth Stadium; Lexington, Ky.
TV: ESPNU
Radio: Big Blue Sports Network

I'll be opening this thread about 30 minutes early in order to give everyone time to get hyped and talk about the big matchup.  The line for this game, according to Vegas Insider, is between Kentucky -13 to -13.5.  So the pros think UK is going to win this one by almost two touchdowns.  I wish I could muster as much confidence.

But truthfully, there are good reasons to be confident, the biggest one being that UK has many players who have played together before, and a coaching staff that has mostly been together for years.  Louisville, on the other hand, has many new coaches and many new players, most notably a quarterback who is starting only his second game as the man at the top of the depth chart.

Advantage/Disadvantage:

• Offensive line -- UK big
• Defensive line -- UK
• Offensive backfield -- UK small
• Defensive backfield -- UK Big
  
• Wide receivers -- U of L, small
• Special teams -- U of L, small
• Coaching -- UK
