Final the Cats finish the year at 5-6 and win their 3rd straight bowl victory. With 4 of their 6 losses coming against teams that were ranked in the top 10 of the final football poll.

My initial reaction is that this was the most beautifully played game of football I've ever seen.  A veritable clinic.

Always good to win your last game of the season.  Three bowl wins in a row is solid.

 Almost made me wish there was an overtime.

I would have busted at the seams with jubilation.

Would have been an opportunity for more unsportsmanlike conduct penalties on UK.    You hate to cut it off at only 8.

Yeah, I thought some of the UK players were out of control today. The team discipline wasn’t at its best for sure. 
But it’s nice to get another Bowl win.

It’s been a good day for BBN!!!

Great day for BBN! Love getting bowl game wins as it helps with recruiting. It is also a huge positive for the development of the program as it allows for extra practices for the younger players on the roster. I think we will also get some seniors who decide to take advantage of the Covid year and come back; I saw that Josh Ali did this. 

In terms of the game, it made me frustrated the C-Rod was not the featured back all year. The dude is just above everyone else. As usual the defense was the highlight of the game; I was really impressed with our young CBs who stepped up when the older guys decided to opt out; good sign for the future. 

I thought it was hilarious to see Stoops yell at Morrow right before half saying "you can bleeping run that play with no timeouts". I doubt many people have ever talked that way to the big dog. 

For the future, we are still in dire need of a passing game. I hope that Beau Allen and Joey Gatewood can help there. IMO that is what is keeping us from taking the next step but I don't think that is any ground breaking news. I would also really look for some grad transfers at the OLB position. Injuries on injuries.

Of course you would; Ralphie says you look like a tick about to burst.
