Kentucky @ Florida 9/10

[RingoLucky]

What say you?
Let’s hear it.

Florida just looked pretty good knocking off Utah. Can we stop them? Will Crod be back now that it’s obvious we need him?

gonna be an interesting week

 

[KYJamm]

Not too confident in this team right now. It may take a few games for them to right the ship.

 

[HagginHall1999]

Tough to say. I felt like we rebounded pretty well after a rough first half. OLine is a concern though. Hopefully they get Horsey back.

 

[blue cincy]

Doubt we see CROD. Bigger problem is our OLINE. They could not block a high school team tonight. Best thing is a WIN and film on a flat our horrible day. WE had 50 rushing yards. That is very bad. Good news is our young receivers played through contact on several catches. If Will has time we can move the ball through the air. We need blocking. DLINE was OK (0) walker will be a great one here if he is able to stay healthy. Ox was good. Dbacks did great after the first drive. Heck the first drive they played 15 yards downfield. Will be interesting to see how much we can fix in the next 7 days.

I’m not sold on the O coordinator after this game. I thought the answer was obvious and Wright has to be the RB going forward. He can catch outta the backfield, but more importantly he can pass block when our Oline just collapses.

 

[RingoLucky]

Hey, we may have really struggled today. First game, new look, but at the end of the day…at least we don’t have to watch that tragedy and root for that shit show an hour west of us 😂

 

[Sawnee Cat]

I will be there. Nothing better than a win in Gainesville for me. I have seen the Cats do it in the past and would like to see one more. Stoops becomes UK's all time leader in wins with a victory.

 

[CB3UK]

We've got some serious work to do. Florida looked good tonight.

 

[bbncal02]

Tough ask to go down to one of the hardest places in college football second week of the season. Especially after a huge motivating win like that.

UF will be thinking “we survived and upsets a Top Ten Utah. We will be ready for UK”.

It will either help them or hurt them. But we have huge question marks on the OL right now.

Wright is still dinged up. They played him limited snaps today. Hope he is good to go next week. Also what about the bowling ball. Did he get hurt? Did not see him much at all.

 

[backinky2018]

I am hoping that UF put everything into this Utah game. Utah is physical. If we do win, it seems like it might have to be a shootout.

 

[HerrosHeroes]

If we get Horsey and Wright back we will have a punchers shot.
Kentucky is talented!

I'm going too. Been wanting to go to a game in the Swamp as long as I can remember.

As to the OP, Kentucky always plays down to their opponents. Florida's defense was getting gashed the whole second half. If Kentucky can run the ball they'll be in great shape. But AR-15 is a much faster Tebow. He runs a 4.4 40. He's got a cannon but not extremely accurate. Gotta contain his broken play gains. It'll be very close.

 

[BGCATFAN2012]

Saturday Night in the Swamp with FL probably ranked ahead of us now. UF ranked 19 and us staying at 20. GoCats!!

Really glad you've decided to give the OC a fighting chance here. Can only imagine what you said after Stoops first game.

 

[Big Cat fan]

This is going to be a classic. Edge Kentucky in the last min. Big game

Oh? Did I trigger you by saying I’m not sold? Poor pitiful. I’ll go get you some ice cream.

 

[KYExtemper]

Always tough to play this game so early in the year. It's going to be a tall task to beat the Gators, who had a good win tonight against arguably the best team in the PAC-12 in Utah. However, if UK is ever going to win the SEC East we have to beat the Gators, Vols, and Bulldogs in the same season and this is as good a year as any to complete that trifecta.

 

[Blueworld_3.0]

Not gonna happen without CRod. Left side of the o line is terrible. A good coach will exploit that weakness.
Levis needs to have the game of his life. More than 1 INT and it won't happen.

 

[JPFisher]

You gave a bad take on one game from a brand new OC and received a smartass retort... Then you doubled down and instead of engaging in a constructive conversation, proved that you have the maturity of a defensive middle schooler.

Coen ran into a lot of bumps calling his first 4-5 college games and smoothed out as he gained playcalling experience at the college level. No reason to claim the sky is falling with Scang yet. There's a lot that fans aren't privy to.

 

[southindycat]

I'm not sure I can tell you whether our OL problems stemmed from individual failings or failure to play as a unit. Kind of had a sense it was the latter. That's a better situation than individuals being beaten. You'll fix unit cohesion and assignments faster.

 

[Dallas-Wild]

HORSEY played last night

 

[southindycat]

I thought Wohlabaugh looked pretty good, technically sound, most of the time. However, it looked like things got away from him when things got sophisticated. He might improve rapidly. Young players, especially smart ones, usually do.

 

[_ukcat]

With CRod out really hope the Jefferson kid isn't hurt too bad, really going to need him at RB next week.

 

[Cotaay]

OLine play has be worried bigtime, a night game in the swamp after that poor performance has potential for disaster. I was hoping we could at least run block because I assumed pass blocking would be an issue, but as of now that does not look to be the case.

Florida 27
Kentucky 17

 

[ace on the river]

The Florida QB is going to be a BIG PROBLEM

I dont see it. 2 of the 3 on the road with probably the 2nd best team in country being the home game and the two road games against top 25 teams.

 

[southindycat]

As for Florida, I'm still not sold on Richardson. 170 yds passing? Meh... He still looks like an uber physically gifted athlete standing in at QB. That presents opportunity to DC's.

I think we can play with them. Keep Smoke off the field. Assuming CRod is unavailable, getting it right at RB might start with that. Pretty sure his failures ended up looking like Wohlabaugh's a couple of times.

He doesn't have to throw for 300 yards. That isn't his game. I'm interested to see if our D can slow him down on Saturday.

 

[R.O.T.Muckinfush]

It'd gonna get ugly.... Just hope levis doesn't get hurt. He got sacked way too much already

 

[FirewithFire]

UK looked rough last night, really rough. If they play like that in the swamp they will get run out of the stadium.

Having a weak side of the line like UK does allows the opposing defense to play strong on the opposite side because they know the offense is going to have to roll to that side of the field. It is a huge problem, and we all know how much UK loves dual threat QBs. They will have to keep a spy on him all night which is a problem in a prevent defense.

It is winnable, but I wouldn't lay money on a UK victory.

 

[JHB4UK]

Beyond silly to judge a new OC in game 1, when he unquestionably was calling vanilla plain stuff for Florida armada analyst army to study. Coen game 1 last yr wasn't special. He showed the goods game 2.

I'm confident Cosch Scan will have horrific surprises for Gators next Sat night. Key and Barion are gonna get some jet sweeps.

what people don’t realize is it’s the first playing time for several of these O-linemen. Practicing against different techniques and actually playing against them in real time is completely different. You don’t get a feel for the speed of things, for the communication, for the timing until you do it live. No unit with all new guys will play good or gel in the first several games. It will take time to get the feel amd communication with each other down. Anyone who thinks this line ain’t talented don’t understand how football really works.

 

[southindycat]

I think we might be better equipped to do it than Utah. Yep. Just said that.

 

[drbubba]

We've got some serious work to do. Florida looked good tonight.

And there would have been no shame in losing to the Utes (what is s Ute?). Hopefully the Gators get overconfident. I think they would be better motivated had they lost.

 

[JHB4UK]

Yeah I'd rather face a confident cocky happy bunch, than a desperate back against the wall fight to the death to avoid 0-2 team

He doesn’t wanna be called that anymore. Ya know, cause they look so scary and all. Lols.

 

[Cawood86]

O line is a huge concern. 50 rushing yards against a MAC team does not evoke much confidence going to the Swamp.

Not sure about the defense either. I will say this, Stoops has raised the bar to where a 24 point win leave us concerned instead of jubilation.

WR does not appear to be a problem.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

I think we might be better equipped to do it than Utah. Yep. Just said that.

Of course we should be. We are a SEC defense.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

gonna be an interesting week

If and that’s a big if the OL improves Kentucky can move the ball in them, Utah moved the ball most of the game, defensively Richardson is going to be a handful, Kentucky can win I’m just not expecting it
