13/21 is about 63% if my math is correct. And I meant forward pass, but I think you knew that. Last year I saw a team that laid a lot of eggs all over the field. I may be wrong but I think UK had just barely over 300 yds of offense. I saw us use a 3rd string QB (started the season 4th string) torch your defense. I saw us drop a sure pick 6, give up a pick 6 and a blocked punt. So yeah we stunk the joint up at PJCS. You guys played well though and we were lucky to win. Still don't see what that has to do with this season. I didn't think they were particularly "evenly matched" last year. But again that has little to do with this year and I think we'll be a bit weaker. The point is you say the same thing every year: we lost LeFors, we lost Brohm, we lost Bridgewater, we lost Parker, et al. Plenty of people on this very site said last year we'd be fighting for bowl eligibility last year due to the improved schedule and no Teddy Bridgewater. We went 9-3 with 2 inexplicable losses, beat Notre Dame in South Bend, etc. I'm seeing the same "doom and gloom" predictions this year.
"Plenty of people on this site"? How many? Come on. You're the one exaggerating now. You gonna pick a few rival fans comments like that and then act like your team overachieved? Hell, every year you clowns say UK's basketball team isn't that great or whatever, you'll beat us, we'll lose tons of games, etc., but so what? Everyone knew that last year, with what UofL had coming back and a not so tough schedule, that 7-5 or worse would be a colossal disappointment.
I don't know if you wanna mention losing Brohm about "what we say every year". UK beat UofL 3 times in a row (4 including his last year) after you lost Brohm. So yeah, we said it and yeah we were right. But...Kragthorpe, right? Whatever. Honestly, I never thought Brohm was that good and predicted (correctly) that he'd be a bust in the NFL.
You guys have got the best of us lately and you should feel confident. That said, UK fans are starving for some positivity and we're seeing some talent come in that we haven't had in years and the program is clearly rising, so forgive us if we're not crawling into the corner, afraid of "Big Bad UofL" - A program that we feel you guys tout as "big time", yet you haven't knocked off a ranked team since Bridgewater was a sophomore. We face 6-8 teams better than you on our schedule pretty much every year. Sorry we don't bow down.
I don't think there was much difference in talent last year (other than D. Parker) and I feel like it's pretty even right now, and to be honest, I feel confident UK will win. I know that's hard for you guys to grasp (losing to UK in football) but you might want to prepare yourself for the possibility, cause I sure do like our chances.
