I think we need Hartline’s 2010 numbers or better to break through Georgia’s and Florida’s death grip on the East. We have the running game, strong offensive line, strong depth returning on the defense. Now the next step is quarterback play.

DYK....Hartline is the last UK QB to throw for 3000+ yards in a season?

Oops, my bad, got a little long winded in my thoughts. HeheheheI don’t disagree with you. I mainly wanted to chime in because that may be the longest thread title I’ve seen in my 10+ years on this board and it made me laugh.
I was just giving you a hard time, lol!Oops, my bad, got a little long winded in my thoughts. Hehehehe
With today's rules nothing matters but strong QB and WR play. OL can do just about anything and not get called for holding. DB cant intimidate receivers. If the QB is accurate your defense doesnt matter. Bama couldnt slow down OM or UF, but neither tdd of those could handle Bamas offense. With Pickens I thought we had a good shot at winning the East and beating Bama this year, still got a shot, but not as good.
You have a better shot now that you're going to be running a more modern offense.
We could potentially beat anybody or get beat by anybody. Like living and dying by the 3 pointer, you have an off day and get beat by Akron. When the QB graduated we were somewhat atrocious. Those offenses were fun but it makes you appreciate the strong foundation Stoops has built in OL, defense, and RB. Now throw in a 3k passing offense and we’re top 10 in the country.Historically the times UK went to bowl games was due to QB play.
Couch, Bonner, Woodson, Hartline.
Their teams were much weaker across the board than the current roster.
I agree with the OP that QB play is the next thing UK needs to continue climbing the ladder.
I was highly impressed with J T Daniels the last few games, they seemed to be a different team when he came in. I think if he continues to develop with your offense you've got a great shot at making it to the final 4 this year.Hopefully we will be running a more modern offense.

I loved Hartline and his injury was a cheap shot late hit that never got called.DYK....Hartline is the last UK QB to throw for 3000+ yards in a season? The same Hartline some here loved to hate.
It was against USCjr. right? D-tackle or another one of the big fellas on the defense body slammed when Hartline was laying on the turf after getting knocked over right?I loved Hartline and his injury was a cheap shot late hit that never got called.

I have often called Hartline the smartest UK QB that I have seen play in my 50 plua years. He threw for many yards with a whimpy arm.I loved Hartline and his injury was a cheap shot late hit that never got called.

Having Randall Cobb and Chris Matthews on the receiving end helped too. Still, had to have someone who could get them the ball.Great game manager, great at reading the defense and changing the play, rarely made negative plays. That'll make up for physical limitations.
I think you mean Start climbing the ladder. 😇Historically the times UK went to bowl games was due to QB play.

Is that right? Ole Mack is a better coach than Kirby?Yeah, but unfortunately they still have Kirby as their HC, so there's still that hurdle.

And here I thought he had won the Conference and gone to the NC game...With all that talent...Kirby couldn't coach his way out of a phone booth.

A cheap shot late hit that happened on a dead ball play. That is what got me, never saw that before.I loved Hartline and his injury was a cheap shot late hit that never got called.
I think Brooks mentioned his grasp of the game too. His brother was a WR at Miami that made the NFL, now coaching with Ohio State last I heard.I have often called Hartline the smartest UK QB that I have seen play in my 50 plua years. He threw for many yards with a whimpy arm.
