South Carolina 31 Kentucky 6

[16thBBall Fan]

Final. The only positive thing about this one is that it is over. Next up for the Cats #1 Georgia comes to town next Saturday. Oh Goodie!!

South Carolina squeaked by Old Dominion last week. I guess the drop in competition level was good for them.

That cats team shows up next week vs Georgia and UK will be praying for another weather shortened game.  And they still might lose by 50.

When I’m not rooting for FSU, I am also pulling for Kentucky. So this year is off to a FANTASTIC start.

I think its time for Mark Stoops to move on.  He's hit his ceiling and he just looks mentally checked out.  He tried to bolt for A&M last year so we already know he doesn't want to be here.

I agree with you on the points about reaching their ceiling and wanting to be in Lexington.

We will not have 50 yds of offense next week unless Georgia falls asleep watching us.

Is there a former beloved UK football player that is coaching college football, and ready to make the jump to head coach? (a la Mark Pope)?

Georgia could get one of their really good middle school teams to come up here and they’d still win by 50.

What a disaster.  People will bail on this group quick.

UK routinely gets out schemed. 

Either we can't draw up plays to get receivers open, or our receivers can't run routes and get separation. I'm not sure which it is.

Other teams seemingly always have receivers run free wide open, which from watching the games appears to be because our defense plays a soft zone coverage that allows receivers to find gaps to settle into. 

Today UK got beat almost entirely by the SC defensive line. The sad thing was even when extra blockers were kept in, they rarely blocked anyone. UK had a 7 on 3 advantage on one play. They ended up doubling one guy. Taking two on one on one as the other three blockers stood there blocking air. 7 on 3 and SC still nearly got a sack and nearly forced an int.

This may be the most dejected I've ever been after any UK football game.

Music City Bowl is typical.  An occasional lower-level New Year’s bowl. That’s the ceiling.

Very vanilla offense and our secondary was terrible!! Very disappointing!!

Even I thought the Cats could win this one.

This is the worst team UK has had for quite a few years. The Georgia game next week will get ugly quickly. It’s possible they might only win one more game…maybe the one with Ohio. Kroger Field will be sparse with fans later in the season.
