Just an all-around embarrassing day for the Kentucky football program. I thought there was a chance they could rally the troops and play for something to salvage the year, but this team was totally checked out. We could go back and say, "Well, they nearly beat Georgia, they won at Ole Miss," but those games were a lifetime ago. When this team hit adversity, they checked out, didn't respond, the lack of leadership showed.
Worst of all, they were dominated in the trenches. Winning at the line of scrimmage was what reversed this series in Kentucky's favor and today was bleak in that regard. They have a lot of work to do on both sides of the ball in the offseason, the OL because it's been a struggle all year but the defensive line because of looming losses.
Jamarion Wilcox had major ball security issues today, as did Kentucky in general. Tough situation with the conditions and state of the team for Cutter Boley, but very few players had a good day.
4-8 and we're heading into an offseason with more uncertainty at Kentucky than we have seen in quite some time. I'm eager to see what happens because Stoops is simply not going to win the press conference at this point. Whatever positive might happen for him at UK in the future will be against the tide when it comes to the fan base. That was before today, but the memory of today will not soon fade.
Kentucky came into this season with no good plan on offense, and the defense cratered as time went on. No team should ever lay down like this in a rivalry game.
