Feature Player of the Week: Kentucky

Andre Woodson has been sacked 8 times in the 2007 season. Other SEC starting QBs, Tim Tebow - 2, Chris Nickson - 3, Matt Flynn - 5 , Casey Dick - 0 (but that's because he rarely passes), Matt Stafford - 6, John Parker Wilson - 4, Brandon Cox - 8, Micheal Henig - 5 (that's cuz he threw 6 picks in one game though), South Carolina's QBs - 4+1+1 = 6, and Erik Ainge - 1


So he's tied with Matt Stafford, but my point in all of this is that the guy gets sacked a lot. Now Andre Woods isn't the player of the week this week, I have a group of 5 guys. This weeks feature players of the week are:

The Pourous Kentucky Offensive Line!

Center: Eric Scott, 6-5, 275, Sr

Guard: Jason Legger, 6-1, 287, Sr

Guard: Zipp Duncan, 6-5, 280, So

Offensive Tackle: Justin Jeffries, 6-6, 300, So

Offensive Tackle: Garry Williams, 6-3, 276, So

These guys are Arkansas' best shot at closing down Kentucky's passing attack. Only two of these guys, Scott and Williams, were starters last year. Which might be a good thing as last year Andre stood in the pocket and got sacked a whopping 36 times along with 1.5 more sacks for the backups. The team ranked 9th nationally in getting sacked for a total of 259 lost yards. If these guys play well, Kentucky should have a good game, but if they turn in a 6 sack performance like they did at Florida last year Andre won't be a happy camper back there and the vaunted Kentucky passing offense will crumble.

I still think they have a higher number they can reach for. I think if Kent State could pull off 4 sacks this year Arkansas can turn in 8. Just be glad it's not Glen Dorsey guys.

Game prediction to come tomorrow. I'm still thinking the overtime record could be shattered with these defenses.
