Another painful loss in a game we should have won ... smfh

[Dreklie]

I predicted 8-4, not feeling real confident about that right now.

Drops killed us, Chance Poore killed us, missed tackles killed us ... really need to fix those very basic fundamental things and quick.

6-5

 

[KyCPA]

No bowl this year.

 

[KYExtemper]

Based on the weak teams we play, I think we can at least get to six wins. Our secondary is just too freakin' young.

 

[STUCKNBIG10]

We're probably a 6-6 team. We're not winning in columbia next week. Should beat Arky, UT, UT Martin, and UL. Mizzou at home will be tough, and Athens could be a slaughter. Don't count on a win in nashville either.

 

[KyCPA]

I dont know. I thought UT would be a win. Doubting that now. This team could lose all road games. How do you see them getting to six right now?

 

[MojoYamamoto]

We wont be bowl eligible. Just have to hope recruits don't start bailing on us.

 

[TBCat]

I really don't see this as a 6 win team right now. And if they don't get crap figured out soon it might not even be a 5 win team.

 

[CatEye2010]

Got beat on both sides of the ball today. Should of put wood in there at the end for some reps.

 

[Wildcat-in-STL]

You don’t get to say should of won when we lose by 15 pts

 

[katwest]

Next week is going to be tougher, they need to win as bad or worse than we do and they have had the Kentucky game circled for a long time. The boosters and players are sick of losing to Kentucky and Muschamps seat will get even hotter if they lose. I'm not to optimistic.

 

[why_not_kentucky]

Looks like Vegas gonna be smiling all the way to the bank on that season prediction.

I just don't fully get what caused such a drastic change between last year and this

5-7 type of feeling

anyone have Matt House's #?

 

[AustinTXCat]

I kinda had a feeling we might take a step back after Matt House's departure.

Losing 16!starters and qb in game two would be a good place to start

 

[billoliver40]

Lol.....I thought losing 16 players and having a new DC that winning 7 would be remarkable.

Looks like I was right.

 

[fredmanthecatfan]

The pick 6 hurt us, but it happens. The dropped passes hurt worse. Giving up pass plays hurt us too, but you can rationalize a bit with the young secondary. What really bothers me the most is giving up so much yardage on the ground. When we would get some pressure on their QB, he would turn it into a big rushing gain. Other times, our D line would get penetration and watch their RB run right by them. Drove me nuts.

Yeah UTs thrashing of UF today makes me feel this way too.

I just thought we'd still be better than this.....but what do I know, except that I have to finish this bottle

Really???

 

[STL_Cat]

I don’t think we should have won. We probably lost to a better team.

 

[STL_Cat]

Well ... we lost the most prolific touchdown scoring running back in the history of the program. We lost arguably the best defensive player in the history of the program. We lost virtually our entire secondary. And on top of all that, we lost our starting QB in the 2nd game of the season.

Yeah, I just can’t figure out why we might’ve taken a step back. Just mind boggling really.

 

[NavyCat88]

I don’t think we should have won. We probably lost to a better team.

^^^^^^^^^
This! Not sure we “should have won” as we were the underdog on the road....UNLESS you’re going back to pre-season expectations with TTW under center.

 

[Johnfarrel]

The pick six on the first drive completely changed the game. Kentucky was planning to run a lot and pass a little, got behind and had to run little and pass a lot. The dropped passes were a killer as were the uncharacteristic missed tackles. There is no alternatives to Smith and we can only hope he improves with practice. He made some great throws along with some dogs.

 

[reflaine]

Defense gives up 21 points. They played well enough to win. Offense dropped ball (literally) once again

No optimism here either.

 

[kybassfan]

The could not hold the line. End of story.

We weren’t good on offense, defense, or special teams. Period.

 

[reflaine]

Defense gave up 21 points, forced a couple turnovers, they wasn’t reason we lost this game.

 

[STL_Cat]

They played okay on some series, good on other series, and downright bad on other series. They did not have a good game. No one did.

Since when is giving up 21 points considered good?

 

[Kai Slater]

It was a vintage Kentucky football experience

 

[johnnyrockets]

anyone have Matt House's #?

Brad White dialed up a blitz that would have ended MSU's drive before half and the DB just missed.

We gave up 7 in the second half.

We gave up 21 on D total.

Not sure the DC is the issue. <shrug>

 

[rolaid]

LOL 6.5 dawgs on the road but was suppose to win.
St was better upfront games are won upfront
They dominated upfront- our Dline was pitiful
Bowden was loafing Parts of game
Continues to quit on routes
Dropped crucial passes
Our Dline can get no pressure

 

[EndzoneCat]

We came out flat and got beat in the trenches. Our defense did not get a single 3&out the entire game. We made a ton of mistakes along with 3 dropped TD's AND 2 missed FGs! As bad as we played we still were in the game until once again giving the QB a 40 yard run to seal the deal.

The GOOD NEWS is that this only counts as one loss on our record! We get to lace 'em up again next week at USC...there is hope because Muschamp is at the wheel. Winners don't quit!

Guess how many teams won today scoring less than 21 points.....

ONE! Miami best central Michigan.

21 points a game would of put us right around 20th in country in defense last year. That is not a bad effort to an sec team
