I don't like UK'S defensive motor. Players don't fly to the ball. If the first 2 defenders miss it is a 8 yds gain. Dupree is a monster...when he wants to be. Low motor. Just frustrating

UK played tough... That onside was brutal...

So many mistakes, but we were still in it until the onside kick attempt with 2 minutes left.

Good but not great performance. Too many little mistakes to beat a top-level team. This team will get another win or two.

I'm ticked, too many mistakes today. Kentucky had every opportunity to win this game and for the most part the coaches seemed to have them prepared.

 

Poor Tackling, Poor Protection, Dropped Passes, Bad Throws to wide open receivers (yes Towles played really good but he missed on a wide open TD in the first half) and Running Backs that couldn't find a hole if you rolled it in flour.

U.K played a helluva game. P. Towles is the real deal, what a football game he played. What, imo was and will be the main overall problem with U.K. is lack of depth. These top of the line SEC teams go three deep, at least, at practically every position on the field. U.K. goes one - the starters.

As for this one I didn't expect the Cats to play it this close I thought that they absolutely left everything they had laying out on the field. Special Teams - had they even practiced an onsides kick ? That was terrible.

Stoops certainly has U.K. Football moving in the right direction. There are no such animal as a moral victory so ......Bottom Line : U.K. got beat by a better football team ....period.

Best thing about this : U.K. WILL get better.

 

On a side note - I thought that the fans at CWS were great today. This was definitely a positive image on CWS / U.K. Fans on a prime national broadcast.

So many mistakes' date=' but we were still in it until the onside kick attempt with 2 minutes left.[/quote']

 

Get rid of a 3rd down offsides and catch some passes and it ls a different game.

Knew UK would move the ball and score, unfortunately they hand no answer for the run. Tough loss, but proud.

Patrick Towles did it all against Mississippi State. He passed for 390 yards, and two touchdowns, rushed for 76 yards and two touchdowns, and even caught a ball for 11 yards. Towles put up all but 27 of UK’s yardage today, a heroic feat that ultimately fell short.

2 big games and Timmons cost the Cats any chance of winning them. He is fast but just doesn't have the hands for a big time DI Wr.

@NextCats: Towles was sacked six times. If not for those, he would have had 100 yards rushing too. He was credited with 123 yards gained, but 47 lost.

Correct. He has to catch short passes & make plays with his legs. Throw it down the field & he has a better chance of dropping it than catching it.

 

Timmons was my favorite player on the team last year. He's the exact opposite this year. Incredibly frustrating how he chokes in big situations.
