  1. This is unrelated to the actual events that took place, but what is the deal with media outlets saying that everything is a long rifle? Has the term "long rifle" replaced the previously hot term "assault rifle?" I heard them using this term during the PP attacks and thought it might just be a one time slip up, but they were using it again all yesterday. Knowing what a long rifle is, it made me chuckle every time one of the analysts called their weapons long rifles. If you don't know what it is, google longrifle and tell me if anyone pictured the suspects carrying those around. Sometimes it amazes me how clueless those analysts are.

     

    I noticed that as well and it became pretty annoying but my guess it is because of all of the backlash from using the term "assault rifle".

  2. Coaching doesn't matter if they can't get some O and D linemen that can play SEC level football. That should be the biggest priority. I think Stoops has done some good things at UK but I think this season and the way they lost today, kills any momentum they had as a program. It may be time for a fresh coach.

  3. I really do hope Drew Barker does well, I want UK football to suceed so bad. I hate if for Pat Towles who is a stand up guy but just doesn't seem to have the moxy to play in the SEC. I hope for DB's sake he can get rid of the ball quickly and make the appropriate reads, if not there isn't anywhere else to turn besides the same old UK football.

  4. Glenn called for help, Daryl will get his crossbow back and Abraham is going to hook up with Sasha. I know pickings are slim but Abraham doesn't appear the type to be pulling in dimes like Rosita and and Sasha. I thought it was a good episode and outside of season 1 this continues to be my favorite season.

  5. They do not run zone read with PT anymore since about the second game of the season because he gave it every time. Since they can't run the zone read they have to account for everyone on the LOS and that sometimes means a LB goes unblocked because of numbers. If they have 6 in the box that is one more than the OL can block because the QB is no threat. That means they have 5 guys left to focus on the WR's.

     

    If they put a TE in to help they just bring another LB into the box, so now it is 6 blocking 7, not counting the SS if they roll him down.

     

    Having no zone read hurts the offense a ton because you are eliminating a player from the offense on every run play.

     

    I understand the spread and zone read but they do still run it. I watched a play against UT where Pat pulled it on one of the worst reads I've ever seen and got tackled immediately for a loss. He isn't a threat in the zone read because he's not a very good runner and makes poor reads.
