November 1, 200916 yr Pretty easy, they got no points in the redzone and MSU took 5 minutes off the clock. Watch the replay, he had a wide open WR in standing in the end zone too. I think the kid is going to be good, but he cost them tonight. Actually, conservative playcalling and the rush defense cost them. Worse case scenerio you throw that ball away. The play was set up to Cobb which was covered and the rest he was running away from defenders. Then he ends it with a poor decision.

November 1, 200916 yr I disagree. How can you say it didn't. At that point, your down 7 inside the 10 with a wide open WR in the end zone. You get nothing, lose time and field position. Big momentum swing. The only way you can continue to cling to the "he was wide open in the end zone" mantra is if they wipe out the replay showing that #12 was under severe duress. Otherwise, you're simply wrong.
November 1, 200916 yr Didn't Cobb run the offense on the late drive to win at Auburn? I have no idea (unless he's hurt) as to why he wouldn't be under center at least some on that last trip down the field tonight against Mississippi State. You have to find a way to get the ball in his hands.

November 1, 200916 yr I have 3 kids. Have you guys ever seen a parent at the park who cant let their kids enjoy the playground because they over protect and just wont let them play. UK coaches = nervous parent Newton= kid

November 1, 200916 yr Newton reminds me of a young Woodson. We know how that turned out. I can see this too.:thumb:

November 1, 200916 yr As if my drive back from Auburn couldn't have been any worse, I got to listen to the state radio people celebrate. Halloween is now my least favorite holiday!
November 1, 200916 yr Are you serious? You watched the game and this is all you can come up with? Blaming a true freshman's decision making......CLASSIC UK FOOTBALL POST. My fault, you want me to echo what you're probably going to read everywhere else about how Dixon gashed the crap out of the UK defense? Forgive me for expressing the #1 thing on my mind at the point. And yes, I'm blaming a true freshman's decision making. They lose the right to blame the fact he's a true freshman when they have a junior QB in Fidler that has at least every bit the tools at current that Newton does.
November 1, 200916 yr Cobb is great football player and will always get decent numbers but there is no surprise left. SEC defenses will try to keep him from those long 40 plus yard runs. Until Ky stretches the field. State came in with a great game plan tonight.
November 1, 200916 yr Give me a break. One play, huh? It's always the quarterback's fault. See Mike Hartline.
