This is an 8* BLOCKBUSTER on Kentucky.
Setting the scene: Nick Mullens and Southern Miss are going to try and play spoiler in Kentucky's home opener, but we think that the Wildcats ground attack will be just too much for the Golden Eagles in the end.
Southern Miss: The Golden Eagles had a solid 2015, scoring 50-plus points on five different occasions. First year haed coach Jay Hopson has the luxury of an offense which returns its top passer and rusher from last season, but that said, we think the Golden Eagles will have a more difficult time in trying to fool anyone this year. Mullens will once again be the focal point this season, last year he threw for more than 4,400 yards and 38 TD's. That was under former head coach Todd Monken's offense though and we think their will be some growing pains in this new system.
Kentucky: The Wildcats finished 5-7 on the year after starting the season 4-1. The heat is on fourth year heach coach Mark Stoops as his current record sits at 12-24. Stoops has to be feeling pretty confident that he can finally guide his team to a bowl game this year because of his team's strong ground game, as both JoJo Kemp and Stanley "Boom" Williams each reached 1,000 career rushing yards last season. The Wildcats also return most of their offensive line, a unit which gained a ton of experience in 2015.
The bottom line: We'll call these horrible defenses a "wash," but Southern Miss simply doesn't have the size to slow down Kentucky's ground attack. The Cats have the better line-up top to bottom and we think they'll do just enough to score the victory in front of the home town crowd. Play on KENTUCKY.
