Never heard of him.

So losing to Kentucky is a suspendable offense in the SEC?

Geez...we get no respect.

He's been terrible all year. I don't know what team rules got him suspended, but his past success against us, IMO, is why he was allowed to start against us. I think he'd have likely been benched otherwise.

Usually the coach gets fired.

This was reported on the SEC Network last night. Not that matters all that much to us, apart from the long-term implications of the East Division Standings, but Drew Lock will be making his first start against the Gamecocks. The loser of that game will be in a fight out to stay of the cellar with Vandy.

Even with the little we saw of Lock, he looked the better long-term answer for them. Better arm despite the one significant underthrow.

Mauk and an OT with the infamous "violation of team rules" thingy, announced Tues night.

I posted that because, at the time, OP had forgotten to provide the link.

This! There has to be a fall guy when you lose to us. Long history of this phenomenon ...

I figured they'd go with the freshman once mathematically eliminated.

I was impressed with the frosh in his one series...but I think this helps SC have a good chance to go in there and steal a win.

I thought their frosh looked good too. SCAR's starting a frosh also, Nunez who UK recruited some, and he looked good in his first start last week. Could be an early preview of what may turn out to be 2 top SEC QBs in a couple of years.

Him taking a sack was even worse. That put them out of FG range. It ended up not making that much of a difference but it was pretty big at the point it happened. They could have gone to half time leading.

Maybe they felt the need for a solid reason to just replace him on the field
