First of off, I was suprised to see the sun come up this morning!
I don't believe that you can point the finger at any one player or coach, they all performed like crap for 95% of the day.
UK came in with a ho-hum attitude, thinking EKU was going to be an easy cupcake. And then, Stoops was already talking about playing the reserves days before the game ever started.
On the other hand, EKU was pumped as ever to have the ability to knock off an SEC opponent. They also had a chip on their shoulder from both the off field incident, and the bulletin board material of Stoops talking about getting the reserves a bunch of reps.
All this added up to the perfect stotm-
UK should have never poked the little wolverine, he got mad and went crazy on them.
If UK had played like they did in the last 10 minutes of the game for the first 10 minutes of the game they would have broke EKU"S spirit. Instead they had to play like mad men just to get a OT win against a much smaller school.
Towles did not play good for most of the game, but you have to start passing out the blame at the top on this one.
