The Iowa offenses are plodding, slow developing, defense protecting, slow the game down with fewer plays run than most teams. Yes, I agree with you that we got away from Davis and throw ridiculous long passes with no chance of success. But overall that’s what I meant.
I do wonder about the Coen situation and if it was just a medical episode. I don’t don’t why, just something seems off to me (obviously). Him going to booth immediately after, never coming back to field, keeping description extremely vague. I know he doesn’t have to tell us specifically what health problem is but does lead to speculation if you don’t name it. Everyone is different, but I don’t see why it’s a big deal to say I had a stroke, heart attack, etc.
Poor Phillips, he's been used and abused more than the five dollar whore who can't keep her false teeth in. He is absolutely terrible. Has a HUGE target on his back, just what OCs everywhere are looking for.
White doesn’t suck. He has this year and I’d love to know what’s different. But his defense has propped us up in the past. People say they hate the “bend but don’t break” philosophy, but that is not a unique concept. Most teams operate the same way.
How’s that worked out the last two years?
‘Bend but don’t break ‘ is really just using more zone versus man to man. It isn’t even ‘bend ‘ if you can get QB pressure and play good run defense . Majority man puts corners on an island a lot and can give up home run plays , and that may be especially true with our below SEC average corners . You saw the fruits of our D philosophy for a stretch last night when they were getting pressure and tackles for loss at the line …but it looked like the line got gassed some
Last year wasn’t bad on the defensive side of the ball. As a matter of fact thank god for white last year. We had inept skang running the offense
Because many don't know what they're watching lol. Better QB play, as well as the secondary and it's a different season
Childress came from Texas St, they are FBS D1 and in Sun Belt. Hardaway came from Cincy. Hopefully this year plus Spring will propel Hardaway to move ahead of Phillips. If Phillips is the starter next year I may jump off the press box roof. BTW, did you see Childress and Bama's Milroe exchange long hugs/convo post game? Figure they must've attended HS together. If Childress wants to talk Milroe into a transfer to UK I'm OK with that.
Precisely. Barnhart-Calipari-Stoops is triangle of nepotism at this point.
The deep throws are reads made by Leary and they were all open. Leary just overthrew our WRs because he doesn’t put any air under the ball on his deep throws.
People like to take shots at Iowa but consider: Iowa is playing in Big 10 Championship game and recently had a streak of 4 straight games where their D didn't give up a touchdown.
Yep. And Iowa has a good enough Defense that allows for their offense to milk clock/protect the lead, when they have a lead.
Kentucky had a top 5 defense nationally last season. Highest ever for the program.
Marrow is a really good recruiter, not great , but good. He’s probably an asset in the locker room and seems like a good dude.
Well - the topic is about this game, right? It’s not Coen’s fault that Leary and Brown couldn’t connect on open deep balls last night - that’s my point.
Come on man, have some faith. Surely, Stoops’ 7th OC hire will be the charm.
When you have Card fans liking your post, you know you are on to something.
You can’t be happy with the results on the field but if you are, you’re the buffoon.
No that’s your opinion. 6-6 happened last year too didnt it? And we had a really good team then too. You’re one of the fans that just doesn’t get it. Mediocrity is ok in your book. But not with most of us. We are tired of the Mark and Mitch shit show. This program is backsliding in the wide open world for all to see. Open your eyes and you will see it too.
