UK did not face a backup QB yesterday, let alone a third string QB like Mizzou faced. It did not handle the last drive well, to be sure, but it was facing QB1.
People need to wake up! No matter who Mark Stoops hires, HE is the DC at UK and nothing happens on the field unless he approves!
That is the reason that I included CMS in that film session.
I was referring to how the MO DC attacked a backup QB. Didn't say anything about Clemson QB.
Yes, Marshmallow Stoops is responsible for the “big cushion “ defense. The pervert defense is the best way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.
And that was the point of this post. For those who defend this soft zone prevent defense, just wanted to let them know there are DCs and HCs out there that are not afraid to attack on defense, even against a superior opponent.
This is the uk way. Been that same story for 20 years. Can't get off the field on 3rd down
We have enough talent on defense now to get off the field on 3rd. down.
They faced a highly ranked #2 and was stopping him as well…injuries happen to get to number 3. That’s part of the game. The reality is, Mizzou whipped OSUs OLine all game regardless of who was taking snaps
Odd that you felt the need to mention that it was OSU’s backup (to the backup) and did not just say attack the QB. It’s pretty easy to attack the third string QB. See UL against FSU. There is nothing in that situation that translates to what UK faced on Friday. In fact, Mizzou’s defense looked worlds better after Brown (the backup) got hurt. If UK faces the third string QB, this thread might have some relevance.
Well, OSU moved the ball down the field and scored before Brown got hurt. I think you might see that the defense changed when Brown became immobile and also with the third string kid. There simply is no comparison to what UK faced on Friday. None.
It isn’t pretending. It was 3-0. Mizzou defense was showing up either way. If they were moving the ball at will, you’d have a point….but OSU would also of had more than 3 points.
Odd that you think what happened in the MO game with an aggressive plan on defense has no relevance to our passive defense on that last drive against Clemson.
We watched a different game. Henderson was rolling when they had to respect Brown. He goes down and Mizzou loads the box and brings all sorts of pressure.
You made the irrelevant OP, not me. If you want to change the story to how UK defended on the last drive, you should have made that post. LOL
I said what I said. If you watched both games you saw a disparaging difference in the way those two games were coached.
I watched both games and your comment in the OP had no relevance to the UK/Clemson game.
It was ignorant criticism.
Any criticism of your boys is ignorant criticism to you.
So, John. Tell me. If you were down your 2 best corners, would it make more sense to put more pressure on QB, or lay back and not try to pressure the QB and give receivers more time to get open AND force those unproven DB's to defend longer???
Kentucky was forcing the QB out of the pocket but he was making throws on the run. I would have had the CB's playing closer to the line and have taken the chance they got beat long. With Clemson having three time outs and over 2 minutes, you could not give as much cushion as they did. If you got beat long, at least there might have been some time on the clock to come back with a score.
Nope. Offer something sensible as criticism and you won’t get a beef from me.
😂
You're really up in your feelings over this one.
Whom they sacked 8 times!
The problem is it won't change him. He thinks he is the best. HIS defense Friday gave up more pts to Clemson than any P5 school on their schedule, but GaTech.
I don't believe you will ever see quality coordinators come in here and play for Stoops. The ones who prove themselves to be good (Coen) won't stay long. There's no upside long term. Stoops should be coaching in Iowa and UK should be planning to move on. JMO.
Bring in a person with an aggressive mind set with the right coordinators and coaches and honestly there could be a number of us that could be the HC.
Two words...Mark Stoops. NOTHING happens on that field that hasn't approved.
