September 6, 201511 yr Yes. And I think there should be. I do too. It can't hurt to see what Barker can do. Sire doesn't sound like UK is going anywhere this year. So why not get him some experience.
September 6, 201511 yr 33 points given up to ULL... Say what you want about the Quarterback play, but those 33 points speak volumes.
September 6, 201511 yr Say what you want about the Quarterback play, but those 33 points speak volumes. Exactly.

September 6, 201511 yr There doesn't need to be a QB controversy. UK would be a lot better if they attempted to have more of a running game. ULL, nor anybody they play; has any respect for their run game and why would they? UK popped their first offensive play of the game on the ground for a 75 yard TD. Boom was over the century mark. We won the game on a TD run. Boom is why Louisiana went to the press coverage- to get the run support from their DBs. Towles was eating that alive for a bit, but struggled once Louisiana went to the off coverage. If Towles would have hit the intermediate throws more consistently, this is a 4 touchdown win for UK, IMO.
September 6, 201511 yr Regarding the QB play, I thought Towles should have been the starter based on what I know (which is, essentially, nothing). But I also thought his leash should be short. I'm fine with starting him as South Carolina, but he better show improvement and he better show it quickly.

September 6, 201511 yr Not Jerry Tipton @NotJerryTipton With the win, Kentucky remains undefeated in its new stadium.
September 6, 201511 yr Say what you want about the Quarterback play, but those 33 points speak volumes. How many quick series did we have in the second half where Towles either didn't move the chains or threw a pick? The other team makes adjustments- new running QB opened up their run game. I'm not saying the D was great tonight, but the way the offense played forced them to be out there a lot more than in the first half, where the defensive performance was much better. I'm putting that squarely on Towles.
