It is a shame that some UK fans don't appreciate this guy. He could have left and been a high pick, but came back and tried to help our team. He is the best corner to come through here in awhile and will be greatly missed.

 

I respect that, honestly. I'm glad he did and we would've been worse without him, however, he just isn't everything he has been hyped up to be, not his fault though.

:lol: Ford caught three balls all night :idunno:

 

He got beat on the TD, otherwise played well.

 

 

 

 

 

How many pass attempts went Ford's way though or even on his side of the field?

He got beat real bad by Ford.

Maybe because he was covered :lol: :idunno:

The list of huge plays in huge games that he has made for us is very long. He's had an awesome career as a Cat.

It's hard to get a good appreciation for what a Corner is doing... You usually only hear about them when they are doing really good, or really bad.

I think Kentucky is going to have to do a better job of recruiting skill players who actually play the position. Cobb, McCaskill, King, and Locke were all quarterbacks in high school. I'd like to see them start landing some receivers who are actual receivers. McCaskill's fumble and Cobb's drop were huge in this game. Matthews, a legit WR, had a nice touchdown catch. You can only convert so much....

Locke played RB his Freshman and senior years and King played some WR in high school as well. If I recall correctly Burton played QB in high school and seemed to be a pretty good WR when he could stay healthy. Michael Bush played QB his senior year.

I think it is quite normal for WR's in college to have played QB in high school. Many high school teams put their best player under center or in the back field where they know they can get him touches whenever they want.

Happens all the time. And most of these kids play multiple positions in high school.

My observations:

 

1. Attendance stated 57,897, the stadium holds 68,700. There were not 57,000 people there IMO.

2. Nashville is a great city.

3. Did I see where this will no longer be the Music City Bowl in 2010, it will be a Mortgage Company Bowl?

4. For the 1 millionith time we run the Wildcat, Cobb still doesn't get to hand it off and Clemson recognized that all night long. We have one play out of Wildcat basically, Cobb run right or left.

5. We throw down field twice. Once was a TD, the other was a bad decision on Newton's part and keyed in on Cobb when there was an obvious TD had he thrown it to Matthew's I believe. Wide Open. Yet we throw 2-3 yard routes all night when we need 7-8 yards.

6. Terrible game management by coaches, not sure who is responsible but I understand burning a TO to get a punt into the wind but, bottom line that whole series was a WASH.

7. I was 15 rows from the field on the 50 and felt like there was no atmosphere there.

8. Brooks, please stay. Pretty please.

9. Surprised Seiber hit his FG's. That is a positive.

10. Are our QB's taught not to run the ball when there is nothing but green in front of them? So many times when we attempt a pass on 2nd down Newton throws incomplete when there was at least 6-7 yards to gain on a rush.

11. All of Clemson's players look lean and tall, and fast.

12. Over-rated = Lindley

13. Moncell Allen = Under-rated.

Lindley is hurt and has been playing hurt the last half of the year.

He probably hurt his stock some, but needs a month off to heal.

Anyone else think that John Conner can have a nice long NFL career if picked up by the right team?

He is a blocking machine.

Absolutely. He is a beast.

Conner reminds me of Lorenzo Neal and we all saw how long he lasted in the NFL and who all he blocked for.

I said that to BigSpikes yesterday. I really like JC and I could see him in the NFL. He's about as good of a fullback as we could ask for IMO.

I agree 100%!

 

Nashville is a great city! Our family had a blast the three days we were there. Gaylord Hotels is dropping sponsorship for some sort of bank? Lindley and a few other DBs are over-rated. Soft tackling, missed assignments...

 

I am a huge Brooks fan... but I still think that Fidler is the man! I would have gone with the senior leadership at QB once Newton struggled with the short, medium and long passing attempts.

 

It was cold, windy and just plain frigid in Nashville last night... that may have sapped the enthusiasm a tad.

I thought he had a mediocre year, perhaps understandably if he was injured. However, it seems that this season he dropped a few passes right in his breadbasket that easily could have been int's.

 

I also thought that Micah Johnson underperformed this year. Sam Maxwell's absence hurt the Cats last night.
