Kentucky plays the next three weeks at South Carolina, then hosts Florida and Missouri. This is a look ahead as a week 1 game will be. UL Lafayette was a big disappointment last year, but such as the types of teams that usually surprise early the next year.

Junior running back Elijah McGuire, the Sun Belt Player of the Year in 2014, returns and appears poised for another big season. He rushed for 1,264 yards and 14 touchdowns last season, averaging 7.6 yards per carry. He also was the Cajuns top receiver, latching on to 45 passes for 468 yards.

Kentucky peaked too early last year. We look for them to be a bit more focused on a tough early schedule, while ULL would love to escape with a close loss.
