I was watching pretty closely last night. Most plays, we have the personnel in the huddle near the 30 second mark on the play clock (35 seconds total). For some reason, we don't seem to break the huddle until there's 20 or less seconds remaining. We get to the line, Eli makes adjustments on blocking scheme, we fake a quick snap and there's less than 10 seconds remaining. Someone shifts or goes in motion and we're down to 5 or less. This is almost every play.

My belief is the scheme is too complicated and the verbiage to call the play is too long. In college, no reason a play should take 5-10 seconds to call in the huddle but ours do almost every play. If we're in the wrong play, we don't have enough time to audible, which results in a lot of wasted plays, imo.

I'm OK with pro style offense but we need to simplify it for college level sophistication, imo.

was it Levis or Coen? I kid, kinda

He can’t sell them on the “ oh we’re building something special bs” he used to say because clearly Kentucky isn’t. And he can’t sell them on development either. So what is he going to sell them on now. Last night feels like the final blow for a coach who got massively overhyped to be a below average coach

The other schools in the SEC love Stoops and Barney. The reason is obvious when your team has a fan base that never expects excellence and these new SEC coaches see in UK an easy win Does anyone on this board think that with Texas and Oklahoma coming into the SEC that your coach can’t make mistakes. With no burden on Stoops to produce these SEC schools know the University of Kentucky doesn’t take its football program serious or his ass would be on the hot seat. No one fears UK to be a legitimate threat to anyone. That’s what a 9 million dollar contract shows to the other SEC schools who have high expectations. These teams control the administration, the NIL network and all aspects of winning.

Who controls UK? Barney

When players openly post on social media like Ray Davis did, it is a sign that they are no longer vested in to what he is doing.

It was obviously discussed when it happened but I haven't really seen it brought up after the game.

Nothing more encapsulates Stoops as a coach than how he handled the last 2 minutes of the first half. You have time outs and not only do you not use them, you let USC burn a full minute of clock on one play that included a runoff.

It's dumbfounding how bad he is when he has to make in game decisions.

I’ll say it. I miss Eddie Gran. The run game has not been the same. The big blue wall has become a joke. Bring gran in to run the O line and the run game. Move to an inside zone/ pro style pass game hybrid. Bring in a QB who can run the ball 5 times a game.

There will be those who have had season tickets for years and will buy regardless, the disillusioned fans that think Stoops is the best coach we can get, but I doubt many on the fence folks will bother supporting another year of Stoops’ poor coaching, Iowa style offense and bend but not break defense. I know I will never again buy the preseason hype with this guy in charge.

Not excusing Stoops but Leary is putrid. No way Coen would have come back for this kind of QB play.

Any of you losers who are reserved to the fact that UK will never be good are part of the problem.

Mitch deserves to be shown the door for the states of our football and basketball programs.

shit show on turf. Pointless to say anything else. There will be those that continue to defend him and the program and they are welcome to do so. His program, his staff, his players. This is year 11. I sincerely hope the powers that be take a long hard look after tonight and realize that this is a pitiful excuse for an SEC football program.

You all have a good night.

It's actually kind of comical how completely opposite directions Missouri and us took after the fake punt. Looked like we were going to blow them out early, fake punt, they come back and win. They're a top 10 team now and we're lucky to even be in bowl consideration.

Just feels like proof to me that we have all the talent in the world to compete with anyone. Comes down to coaching and readiness for games.

Already down to a TERRIBLE uscjr team! Our football team is in a steep downward spiral. UL will spank our asses like a little red headed step child next week. So sad to watch this team deteriorate the way it has! And for all the Brad White nut huggers that are reading this OPEN YOUR DAMN EYES!!!! His defense is the most boring, predictable, and pussy ass defense I’ve ever seen!

very simple . Our coach makes three million more than their coach . Should be a cakewalk .you get what you pay for . Right?

Just ball players man. No fear. Aggressive. Excellent passers.

Should be the starters. Nothing wrong with rewarding performance.

For everyone who likes to claim Stoops is the winningest coach we've ever had, he also has the most losses, which makes him the losing-ist coach we've ever had as well. That kind of puts the winning claim in a much different perspective.

Can someone tell me what to expect out of Bradshaw? I understand he will have some rust and will have to adjust to the college game, but what could he do for our team?

Love the way this team looks and is playing. Hoping Bradshaw makes us not only bigger, but better.

It's in EVERY phase of the game too!!!

Tonight the offense had drive killing penalties, turnovers, missed blocks, overthrown passes, dropped passes, terrible route running, odd play calling decisions and much more.

On Defense we gave up 2nd and 3rd and LONG, lost receivers, missed tackles, loafed to the ball, lost gap integrity and allowed the QB to beat you when it counted the most.

On Special Teams you don't have enough players on the field the FIRST punt!!!

Tonight isn't the exception, it's the TENDENCY after 11 games we have done STUPID stuff like this all year long!!

Stoops REALLY needs to address these problems during the off-season because it's WHY our program has TANKED the last 2 years!!!

I do not care to see this word posted here anymore ... just part of empty hype that creates unreasonable expectations. Prove it on the field, not with a signing pen ... !!

When was the last time we had a big that could pass like this? His passing ability out of the high post coupled with the shooting of Reed, Reeves and Dilly is going to make us virtually un-zoneable.

I’m telling y’all… this team is just different. If we can stay healthy, by March there might be 2-3 teams that can match up with us. We finally have all the pieces. I don’t know if Cal is ever going to have a better constructed roster than this one.

On the radio straight calling out our lack of pressure. You know it’s bad when those two are calling out White and Stoops.

Anyone happy with that?

I see why the Rams didn't put a premium on keeping him.

and we barely push 14 across. Sick of this crap!
