Game thread Kentucky vs Florida

[sam_o]

The refs certainly haven't done us any favors. There should have been a targeting call that wasn't made that took us out of scoring zone and even on the touch down, the defender started holding the receiver at 4 yard line well before the ball was near the receiver. I am sure there are other calls even worse that the camera didn't catch or at least it wasn't shown to us.

The importance of that missed targeting call cannot be overstated. That cost us at minimum 3 points maybe 7

 

[dvillecatfan]

You too?

 

[pauled]

Put trevin Wallace at rb Levis needs some help. Our oline needs help

I’ve said for two years he’s the second best back on the team!

 

[bbncal02]

It isn't Stoops fault that the center can't snap; however, the holder should have been able to control the ball.

That snap was on the ground. We were lucky it wasn’t a TO.

 

[LmdCat]

Special teams looks a mess. Who is our special teams coach?

I am not sure it is a coaching thing. It could be that the player is simply feeling the pressure. I am more concerned about the failure to block the edge rusher because that can get our QB knocked out of the game.

 

[crawfords corner]

Stoops is looking rough. Forgot we got ball at half, there’s that.

Yea. That's why he gets paid the big bucks, though. You and I say why not try to tie it up. He says let's not doing anything to make this a 10 point game and come back out at half.

I'd probably lean Stoops' way if I was the HC.

 

[sam_o]

You have 1 minute left.

You have 2 time outs.

You have a team nervous because their QB just threw an INT.

God I hate not trying to take advantage of momentum.

Same. We have made a lot of big plays through the air. Why not see if we can break one? Idk I guess stoops just wanted to get to half and I’m sitting on the couch lol

 

[SosaUK87]

ND better be out of the Top 25 after that.

Should but I bet they won’t be.

THIS. It’s the one thing about Stoops AND Cal that piss me off worse than anything else they do. USE YOUR DAMN TIME OUTS.

 

[Eccain01]

I think we the better team. And Levis is SIGNIFICANTLY better than AR. We gotta stop shooting ourselves in the foot

 

[PhattyJ4UK]

And that'd exactly why you call a timeout on the first drive on 3rd down to have your qb in the game.

We needed like 5 yards for a field goal attempt.

That's my one gripe with Stoops. Quick decisions almost never seem to be good

 

[The_Answer1313]

I mean we know the deal by now. Stoops is very conservative. It is what it is at this point.

Yeah, especially with a defensive background. I see his view point but it can be frustrating as a fan.

If we can give our defensive unit time to catch their breath, they can absolutely hold their own. We have to find a way to sustain drives and cut out terrible mistakes.

 

[mebeblue2]

i am going to look at the bright side of those last two bad special teams snap
the way events turned out they got 2 points we got 6

those bad snaps have to get cleaned up in a hurry

 

[mdlUK.1]

Sure would have been nice to have CRod back. But not sure even he could run behind our line.

It’s true tho. He has been riding Richardson all night and he’s been terrible

 

[SosaUK87]

Cats need 2 TOs

I’ll take more please.

 

[ThunderMash]

I bet Florida pass plays are rare in the second half, especially after the INT. Kentucky's run defense has to hold stiff.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Does anyone ever remember a time when Kentucky football when in against a ranked opponent and just dominated them?

Mississippi state in 2018 is the only one that comes to mind and that game was at home

 

[Lost In FL]

So basically it’s Florida 3 Longsnapper 0

On the failed xp attempt, i think the kicker was saying, please lord do not throw it to me!

 

[podgejeff_]

God it's weird having a Stoops UK team that relies on the pass and can't run or block.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Kentucky needs to give smokes jersey to Rodriguez at halftime and give him long sleeves and a dark visor so nobody can see his face, and the run game will improve

 

[bbncal02]

I mean we know the deal by now. Stoops is very conservative. It is what it is at this point.

Conservative play will lose you many a ball game. Have to be aggressive in the road. Especially in this conference.

The good news

I still haven’t put my UK baseball cap on yet

 

[LmdCat]

Someone just said that Bama survived. No, Bama was provided a gift. That roughing the QB call was ridiculous and the missed holding call on the QB's first down run was just as bad.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

God it's weird having a Stoops UK team that relies on the pass and can't run or block.

It’s like a cal team relying on 3 pointers, it just doesn’t fell right

 

[ThunderMash]

While they're at it, get Kinnard and the gang in, too.

Is it your lucky hat?

 

[bbncal02]

That was a fun game. Seems like both major sports have favored rock fights on the whole ever since.

 

[vhcat70]

Notes
- not getting targeting call back
- CRod not playing

Lets move on

 

[KyLegacy]

Is the run game this bad or FL D amazing….or do we really need C Rod?

 

[podgejeff_]

While Bama losing would be great, I really don't think I want Texas regaining momentum going into the SEC.

We only got 6 but that's kind of the way I'm looking at it too. Edit: He's quick on the edit button.

Maybe the SEC will make a call to Stoops at half and clear CRod? Lol

I thought you couldn’t go high on the Quarterback, he was guilty of both and didn’t get called for either. Then on Keys TD the dude had his off arm wrapped around Key and that wasn’t even talked about.

 

[ck-2]

I bet Florida pass plays are rare in the second half, especially after the INT. Kentucky's run defense has to hold stiff.

I hope you’re right because I think we have a chance if they are one dimensional on offense. Unlike Levis, Richardson has a running game, time to throw the ball, and has wide open receivers.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

That was a fun game. Seems like both major sports have favored rock fights on the whole ever since.

In the beginning I got it with football because there was talent gap, and mucking the game is a way to even the playing field, now Kentucky doesn’t have to do this q

 

[cathouse]

Long snapper in his own head.

Well, Stoops is in his a$$, now.
