I really think we knock off one of UT or Georgia. Maybe lose another we should win, but hopefully not. Either 10-2, or 9-3. I’m tickled with either. My gut has been saying we get Georgia all day. But I normally go through a roll of toilet paper every other day, so take it for what it’s worth.
I concede nothing. Other than Alabama and Georgia, we are the best team others on our schedule will face. I want 11-1 and a NY bowl game. We control our own destiny. Not a team left on our schedule that we can’t beat. Gotta get a few breaks, don’t beat ourselves and the sky’s the limit.
it is also fair to mention- a new OC and o line coach, new linebackers coach, a new offensive line, coming into the season we had no idea what we had at WR, a rebuilt secondary, we had a couple dudes transfer/get injured who would have played roles, we have true freshmen in the two deep all over the field, unproven RB depth, and to top it off we came into the season with a major distraction hindering us. On paper that is a lot of question marks coming into a new season. 8-4 and above it a great season IMO. That is not excusing losing a game you should win, but I think people need to temper their expectations some
If we can beat UT we have a shot at 11-1, but at least 10-2. If we could make it to the Georgia game with one loss, I will be sitting there in my 86th year with a shot to go to Atlanta. I don't know if we would win, but I would drink a lot of gin and watch it. We need to get there, because I've watched this team since I was a UK student in the 50s and I'm running out of time.
I actually think the transfer portal helps us more than it hurts us, especially if we can compete. If you watched the SEC games this weekend, every team, UK, Missouri, Ole Miss, all of them were announcing players that had transferred from other schools. If Alabama steals our players, we steal theirs. The days of Alabama having a 5 star as a thirds string tackle are over. Those guys aren't going to sit behind other 5 stars. They'd rather transfer to other SEC schools and play. I'm of the mindset that the portal spreads the worth, now let's see who can recruit and coach them up once you get them. We seem to be doing ok with that.
I really don't understand fans like you. I used to watch my grandson play video games and if he started out bad he re-started the game. I don't understand people that can't enjoy the journey.
I think the OLine is taking too much criticism for Will Levis's and the receivers' mistakes. On Saturday, he had time to throw the ball, he just didn't. Receivers missed blocks on screens. Will held on to the ball too long, but he had time. CRod ran the ball well, he just only played 1/2 of the snaps getting back in gear. Our OLine isn't as bad as everyone is saying they are. As an example, everyone has been criticizing Flax all year, but now worrying about Flax being out and he has been accused of missing more blocks than anyone. But, once you watch the tape, it was really a TE or receiver that screwed up and Flax was following his assignment. We were better than the 14th ranked team in the country last week for almost 3 quarters. A few bounces and we are ranked 5th or 6th, which I've only seen a few times in my long years. Come on, let's get behind this team and quit bitching and criticizing. I hope not, but this might be my last chance.
Levis has to live to fight another day at times. It is some jimmy garropolo taking the sack. Scangarello has to fix it
Florida was a big time game. At Florida, and they were ranked, and, if they beat UK in that game, they'd still be ranked.
This. Key will stay b it I’m concerned Brown will depart for an OSU/Bama/Texas/USC/or god forbid back home tk play at TN.
9-3 with the Ole Miss would be disappointing... overall good to great, but still disappointing that we blew a chance.
Yep. Didn’t lose to a cupcake. Should have won the game, yeah. We aren’t bulletproof yet. Still believe we are advancing though. My hope isn’t dashed a bit.
With the way Miss State and Tenn have looked today, I’d say it’s more likely a 7-5 season than a 9-3. I still predict 8-4 though.
