Fort Thomas schools just tweeted out that kickoff is at 3:00 pm

Dropped passes stop this week. Mark it down.

Stoops commented this week in his presser that he noticed some of the wideouts seemed to be stepping up in practice.

They have their guy under center so I expect a much better effort and no drops.

Those back-to-back losses by Lindsey to finish out October were awfully costly. They went from No. 1 to sneaking in at 13.

They sure were. Lindsey's 26-21 loss to CU was a killer. They held All-world NAIA passer Jacob Russell down that game. Likely his lowest output of the season.

Lindsey is down a bit this year offensively but has one of the best defenses in the MidSouth Conference.

The future is bright at Lindsey as they are now able to redshirt kids that a couple of years ago would have played as true freshman.

I expect them to contend for national titles every year going forward.

Look for Baler and Badet to try much harder with Barker at QB. Just a hunch that the drops will be far fewer this week.

UK wins 31-24 on a 4th quarter game winning drive

Please educate me. Why did the coaching staff pull Towles in the game? What purpose did it serve? Was it to protect Towles from suffering an injury late in a game that was no longer in doubt? Was it to give the coaching staff the opportunity to see how Barker would perform in a real game, in order to help determine who the starting QB should be going forward in the season? If Barker would have come out and played outstanding would he have played his way into the starting lineup next week, or is the starting spot Towles' no matter what at this point? What was the reasoning behind the benching?

To keep him from taking any more unnecessary hits, plain and simple... and to give Barker some needed reps so he could judge the speed of the game.

There is no QB controversy at UK.

Defense is bad. Towles too inconsistent and was glad to see

Barker finally got some

College reps. The offense is bad and it goes straight to two things, the O Line is horrible and the receivers can't hang on to a ball.

 

Tenn should win by 750 points this UK team is that bad. I'd start Barker just for the heck if it. Can't be any worse.

Unless Towles is injured there is zero chance that Barker starts.

What makes you think the receivers will magically start catching balls if Barker is the one throwing them?

The backup QB gets more love than anyone.

Great job Blue Raiders! Checking in on a couple Bluebirds on the squad. How are Lou Bunning and DJ Mills doing?

Bunning made the travel squad as a true freshman (one of only a handful of true frosh to do so) but has not yet played. He's been # 2 on the depth chart at left tackle all season but hopes to keep his redshirt.

Mills has missed some time with some nagging injuries. Mills should also redshirt.

The blue raiders run their record to 6-0 and maintain their #1 ranking in the national NAIA poll for the 4th straight week.

Several N.Ky and greater Cincinnati players on this talented roster.

This week they travel to Georgia to face #8 ranked Reinhart.

Will be attending the UC/UCONN game this weekend.

Is he looking at both schools? As. Kicker or Punter, or maybe both.

The way Landon Foster has been punting at UK this season maybe JD should look to stay in the blue and white.

How did #11 play for Bourbon County? Young man is an exchange student from the Netherlands and is an excellent player.

Kentucky wins 31-27.

What was mark stoops going off about the whole game!?

Fade throw to Baker in the west end zone should have drawn 2 flags, 1 for holding and 1 for pass interference. He got neither. Stoops was livid for at least 5 minutes

Big win for CU. Faulkner inherited several players from the UAB team that was dismantled after last season.

The Western division of the mid-south conference is a buzz saw.

This knocked UK out of a bowl game. Barker needs a shot. this team has nothing to lose.

What are you smoking?? UK is 2-1 with a road win in conference. After we win the next 2 games we'll be 4-1 and the ship will be righted.

One game doesn't make or break the season.

What a fickle bunch... One loss and no bowl game???

How many state championships do they have in football?

Agree that Georgetown outplayed Lindsey this week but an ugly win is still a win.

Lindsey is only in its 6th year of football and Coach Oliver and his coaches have done an unbelievable job at recruiting and getting the team ready to play at the highest level.

They are ranked #3 in the national NAIA poll this week.

It was good to see so many NKy players dressing for this game on both teams.

SC's D line is very talented. Should be a stern task for the Birds' O Line.

Establishing the LOS will be very important in this one. I'd look for Hergott to roll out a bit more to give him more time to throw.

In the players to watch I would most certainly include OL Bo Hebel and OL Evan Richardson from Highlands. Both started as juniors and return for their senior season. Hebel's junior highlight tape had more pancakes than was served at Ihop on any given day

Arrested at 4:46am

As I've told my kids countless times, nothing good happens when you're out past midnight.

West is 2nd string right now.

Not sure who your sources are but Zach West is slated to be one of the starting guards on the O Line this year.

I saw both him and Towles play in high school as well. Both were very impressive. The fact that Towles hasn't locked it up yet does say something. It's either Towles play is still inconsistent or Barker has stepped up his play to where they have made it tough on the coaches. Because you would have thought Towles would have easily locked it up by now.

IMO Towles does have it locked up. At the end of spring practice UK only had 2 scholarship QBs on the roster (Reece Phillips is now back from injury) so Coach Stoops didn't want to name a starter to make sure Barker didn't get an inkling to transfer because he wasn't playing.

Towles will be the starter and show vast improvement as the O Line now has a 3 deep on the depth chart and there is now a TE presence from Cleveland who I understand will get reps as a true frosh.

In the 2nd half the East O Line was imposing their will on the West D line. Agree with UKFan that Zajac was a beast. Joseph and Price from Newport had excellent games as well.

Where have these teams been practicing?

West has been practicing at CovCath.
