Just gotta make that play. Offense was awful. Towle held the ball way too long
 
Yes it was but so was the no call interference on hargraves that play...as well as another time in the 3rd quarter. We get a min of 3 both of those times if they ate called and they were obvious. Al and all the game was called well but i retrospect, those no calls hurt and set up a precident of going away from hargraves.

You can certainly argue (though it happened way early in the game) that drop lost the game.
 
Baker drops passes and makes lots of bad plays , he is holding or blocking in the back all the time on replays . His receiving is just as unreliable as Towles passing . When he's open Towles overthrows him , when Towles hits him in the numbers Baker drops it .

-pt needs to be better...but that drop + johnson letting the ball slip through his hands on the end zone is a killer. Cant leave 14 on the field against sec teams.
 
The drop was the story of the game. We go up 7-0 and that stadium is insane. Instead, Towles airmails the next pass and they go up 7-0. Their offense is BAD, you simply cannot gift them 7 points and take the air out of the stadium there. Just a disastrous drop by Baker on what was really an easy wide-open catch.

Zebras weren't to blame in this game. UK got a couple of very beneficial calls/no calls in this game.

The interception wasn't a great throw, but Baker can't let it go off his hands like that either. He was almost as bad as Towles tonight.
