Didn’t practice tackling during the bye week apparently

D is Horrible

 

[JumperJack]

The tackling this season is as bad as it’s been in several years.

 

[PensacolaBlue]

Pathetic

 

[ace on the river]

Sickening

UK fans want moral victories, which happens when you have such low expectations. Win six or seven games, go to low level bowl games and keep an 9 million a year coach who can’t get over the hump. Now it’s the blame game like NIL, a bad DC, when the answer is right in front of your face.

The usual suspects will be around later and pumping up this moral victory.

They will tell us how Nick Saban and Bama better watch out in a few weeks. Blah blah.

I don’t necessarily think defense was terrible but tackling was a disgrace.

 

[YardCat]

Kids these days want to just hit you and not wrap up. Many big plays tonight that if we wrap up it could have been a different outcome

 

[katwest]

When we did appear to have that small back, he overpowered whoever had a hold of him, that’s pretty bad.

Drone Walker not making that tackle was a huge play, just unreal we couldn’t stop their run game at all.

Missed tackles was the reason we lost tonight. WHY can we suddenly NOT make a tackle???!!!

The first man to the ball this year RARELY makes the one-on-one tackle. That is coaching!!!!

Our LB's are STRUGGLING!!! Wade played a decent game, but the rest of our LB's were HORRIBLE!!!

Coach White needs to figure it out because we have ONE Senior and this whole defense returns.

 

[secrules3]

It was mind numbing bad. Five 300lb lineman versus our 3 DT's who often weren't even ready and a rusher who's off the ball.

THAT DOESN'T WORK!!! Even my wife was asking me if all our lineman were hurt sinc it seemed like there wasn't anyone out there.

FML...

 

[catben]

The worst part about all of the missed tackles is our guys are getting to the point of attack adequately, the first man there just RARELY makes the tackle!!!

Last night the UT RB's were even running through MULTIPLE defenders!!!

WHAT are we doing in practice???!!!!!

Please, STOP blowing up Brad White!!! He can't stop good offenses, much less great ones.

I was at the game and everyone could see that we were rarely ready when UT snapped the ball. Why? We knew what was coming every time. Quit looking at the bench. No time to do this against up tempo offenses. Line up and make a tackle as most of the time it was going to be a run play ! Just focus on lining up and making a play and ignore the coaches. And coaches you should have simplified the game. Quit trying to make adjustments from the sidelines that never worked and simply served as a distraction.

We're usually unprepared and lose after bye weeks so I expected no different last night. And we have looked totally unprepared on defense going against Heupel's offense. Last night's score was much closer than I expected.
