September 4, 201610 yr Which is why I can't blame the players. This game was all on the coaching staff. It was a given from the opening drive. Flat pass to the left, loss of 2. Run right, loss of 1. Underneath route left for 5 yards, on 3rd and 13. Blocked punt, but hey lucky bounces out to the 50. The coaching staff should be fired before they leave the office tonight, all of them. No excuse for this. NONE!!!!! Another thing, why cant the qb hold on to the football? I mean good grief you touch the football on every offensive play but you cant hold onto it? Its not a new concept, pretty sure they taught you how to hold on to the football in the early stages of the diaper leauge.
September 4, 201610 yr You can't make a school hung up on basketball care any more about football than you can a football school care about basketball. At least Alabama recognizes this and barely tries.
September 4, 201610 yr Kentucky Wildcats football will always be an EPIC failure. Stoops is gone and and the cycle will start all over again. Sad but true on so many levels.
September 4, 201610 yr What sucks is when UK let them back in the game when it was 35-10, I couldn't help but think don't change things. What did they do, lose their identity. UK showed what they're capable of in both success and failure tonight... They've got some soul searching to do and quick.
September 4, 201610 yr Blame Stoops? Was he the QB who fumbled or made bad choices. Did he miss any tackles? Did he drop an INT? He can't do it for them, there comes a time when they have to do it themselves. Can't agree more. Unfortunately this isn't economics, theirs no trickle down effect. Someone has to answer and a loss like this reverse's course and heads up stream. I predict Dawson as UK's next head coach, haha I'd laugh for days.
September 4, 201610 yr UK had 37 total yards in the second half. I keep laughing at the folks blaming the defense that set up every score UK had....
September 4, 201610 yr Yeesh. What was the time of possession for them in the second half? 7 minutes or something like that? Numbers basically show exactly what I just said. He showed he has the potential to be a very good qb. Also showed he has area to improve in, areas that could and hopefully get better the more experience he gets. I may be way off here, but how many Wildcats carries the ball? It seemed like they stuck with boom a bit too much. He's solid, don't get me wrong, but he needs a breather and they need some change of tempo. If you're going to run hard be smart about it.
September 4, 201610 yr I keep laughing at the folks blaming the defense that set up every score UK had.... What are you talking about? I believe 3 of Drews TD passes were 40 or more yards. You act like the defense got them the ball back in the red zone every time.
September 4, 201610 yr I'm not sure why anybody is surprised? UK football is equivalent to that in the Sun Belt
September 4, 201610 yr Stoops experiment is over. Hate to say that but after last night it's gonna be hard to justify without 7 wins. Good for Dawson. Met him and his dad last year and they seemed like good dudes.
September 4, 201610 yr Had a buddy, NOT @Clyde, send me a text when UK was up 35-10 and tell me "UK would smash your Huskers this year". Very proud of myself that I still havent replied to him. Fans are funny...I will never get two guys: a) smack-talk during the game guy; b) text your FRIENDS and enjoy when their teams lose guy.
September 4, 201610 yr Too early, @Bipsic? That would be my fat finger when scrolling on my phone. Ironically I chuckled when I saw somebody gave it a thumbs down (I'm a fan of the team 80 miles to the west). Turned out it was me.
