Bowl Previews and Predictions: Music City Bowl

Music City Bowl


Background: Florida State leads the series, 3-1-1. They have not met since 1965.

Kentucky: 2 Losses to Georgia and Tennessee
Florida State: Loss to Florida

Kentucky Advantages:
They have a pro-ready Quarterback in Andre Woodson.
They have a top 25 passing offense.

Kentucky Disadvantages:
They really started falling apart once they faced tough competition.
Their defense leaves something to be desired.
Really nothing stands out besides Andre Woodson.

Florida State Advantages:
This could be Bobby Bowden's second-to-last season, so the team does have SOME motivation to win.
Drew Weatheford isn't pretty, but he's surely not interception prone. He will probobly not have trouble with this defense.

Florida State Disadvantages: Well, for one, they'll be missing a lot of players. However, it should be noted that the offense is mostly intact, and the main losses are backups, Cornerback Patrick Robinson (6 INTs), and Linebacker Dekota Watson. So, they'll have big trouble defending against Kentuckys potent offense, expecially with an already bad pass defense.
They could have come off decently had they won a couple of easy games at Wake Forest and Miami.
I know I point to it all of the time, but their season was the 3rd straight of dissapointment for a once proud college.

Writer Predictions:

Jason Frost: TBA

OKLuschen: TBA

Zorgon: Kentucky. All signs are pointing to a shootout, and while their defenses may be equal (now that Florida State has lost 2 key players, they are) their offenses aren't. Kentucky will win big. A Florida State win is only possible

Bottom Line: Kentucky 1, Florida State 0
