Surprise, surprise

I didn’t see it coming, Kentucky’s 21-14 win over Auburn. I really thought Auburn would come out on fire and bury Kentucky early.
What I do see now, very clearly, is the depth issues this team has - especially on defense. The Tigers unit, while playing well for most of three quarters, wilted like warm lettuce in the fourth quarter.
It will be interesting to see how this team responds at Baton Rouge on Saturday night. For some strange reason, maybe because I do believe this bunch has a lot of pride, I think Auburn will make a real game of it against LSU.
An upset? Not ready to go that far, but I think it will be a very interesting night.
