Good call.
I hope you turned it off when we didn't have a chance in a thousand-------several times.
Today Wilson was doing fine throwing the ball. I am not sure how his stats ended, but at around halftime he had 3 incompletions, and 2 of those were drops by Baker. So, he was very accurate on the short passes.
There is nothing wrong with going to Benny there. I didn't say he wasn't good enough. However, we challenged Missouri 3 times on 4th and short to stop us running the ball and we failed at it every time. Had we gone to Snell I wouldn't have been mad about it and would have accepted the play call (except the wildcat would have been dumb). Still, there was also nothing wrong with the pass.
Had Snell failed the board would have also been crazy and would have blown up calling it a bad play call. That is just the nature of this board.
He was pulled because it was a poor decision. Our offense wasn't stalling because of Wilson. It was stalling because of poor play calling, and changing quarterbacks didn't help that.
Again, Benny was not stuffed all game long.
Also, you can't apply thst logic to Snell, but ignore Terry's issues at QB.
He completed a pass to win, now all the sudden he's Aaron Rodgers?
He was pulled earlier in the game because he was stinking up the place.
I'm glad it worked, that's the type of play call we should be confident in, but if that play didn't work, we would have cussed all the coaches and Terry.
You know I'm right.
Terry was awful all game long until that drive.
I'm glad it worked out, but Rerry was pulled for Hoak for a reason.
Who knows, maybe that drive will get Terry going, I hope it does because he's got Sooooo much talent. UK is great when Terry is good.
But he was hot garbage most of this game.
Snell is still our guy.
If he’d taken a sack or made a bad throw, I would have questioned the call. But since he executed perfectly, I give credit to him and the coaches.
If Conrad had dropped a ball that hit his hands? I wouldn’t have blamed the coaches or TW.
Benny got stuffed for no gain again? I wouldn’t have been mad about the call, but I would have re-visited the definition of insanity.

No kidding! Some posters will defend they're negative stance even after we're 7-1, 5-1 and basically playing Jawja for the SEC east next week. Gotta love it.
Wilson outplayed Lock by a mile. What game did you watch??
Dude, I gotta give it to you..you stayed positive throughout the game today. I don't know how you did it. It paid off. I need to take a page out of your book.
Who the f*ck are you?
I'm not crying at all, take your trolling bs elsewhere.
I'm simply playing devils advocate jackass.
It took balls. Massive beach ball sized ones. That's one of those things we need to do to win. And he dialed it up .
I still like Hoak's arm when targeting guys close, he was hitting guys they were just well defended. But Terry ended the debate with that final drive. Not breaking news, but he is a rollercoaster. We will live and die as he goes. OL wasnt exactly getting it done tonight either TBH. Terry will keep improving as this season and the next two unfold. Will be very exciting to see him senior year. For now, we are just going to have to stay calm and breathe. I got fired up as hell during the game calling for Gunnar because the no 3rd down conversions simply cant continue.
Not sure what the A&M game has to do with this one. Snell had been stopped all night long on short yardage. The right play was called and perfectly executed. But all is good now, we will just have to disagree on this one.
And this is exactly what I'm talking about.
I'm thrilled the play worked, but that is a tough play to execute.
I'm simply saying exactly what you just said.
Snell is our guy and he should get the ball in that situation.
He didn't, the play worked, but if it didn't. Ouch.

He was not pulled because he was stinking up the place. That is silly.
No one is claiming Wilson is Rodgers. He had a good drive. He had a decent game for the most part. No, he doesn't make every throw and he has glaring problems, but he is pretty darn accurate for the most part.
If we ran the ball with Snell and it didn't work the board would have exploded as well because all game long in 3rd or 4th and short we went to the run game and we struggled. No, they didn't stuff Snell all game long, but they did largely keep him under wraps. He basically had two drives where he was really gashing them for the most part, and he might have scored a touchdown there, but failing would have driven out naysayers regardless. To throw it was not a bad call.
Exactly. Gotta give the coaches credit for rolling the dice, because if it didn't work, Gran and Stoops would have been looking both ways ehen stepping off the plane.
He was not bad today. He got pulled after a drive where we had terrible execution (missed block) on 2nd down. His third down throw was not good, but it wasn’t worth benching him over.
And I said this at the time - not just after the comeback.
He was far from awful all game long. He actually had a very good game. Hoak had a terrible day and The calls for him should be done and over.
We looked like Tom Brady and the Patriots for 2 minutes That is how good Tom Brady is.

I change my mind about the Georgia game next week. We have a real shot. If we would have lost in a blowout today or even blew Mizzou out or lost in heartbreaking fashion, I would hate our chances next week or at least dislike our chances..but the way we won today..on the last play in big comeback fashion under a ton of pressure making huge plays offensively and defensively..and with a huge crazy crowd at home next week. A LOT of momentum going into next game.
I am a UK fan and UK football has been my love for years. I like what I see with this team.
5 SEC wins. I never thought I'd see the day after 3+ quarters today. I honestly thought we were going to go 4-4 in the SEC again..but after today, obviously..no matter what happens next week..not only are we winning 5 SEC games, we're winning at least 6 SEC games. Tennessee can't stop the run to save their lives. Benny Snell AND Rose and Wilson will run all over them.
I don't mind Hoak for a series here and there. Maybe just to get Terry refocused. But Terry is absolutely out qb, and has by far the most upside. Our offense is frustrating, but I like my team!
Unbelievable win.
Just think, Florida, Tennessee, Auburn, both missisdippi schools and Arkansas are all looking up at UK.
UK has a shot at the SECT game.
UK is 7 and 1.
UK could possibly, maybe get college gameday next weekend
Wow. Great job by Stoops.

If you want to critque Wilson because he didn't ever throw it deep then that is fine. However, he did have a good game. In the first half he was 11 for 15 with two of his incompletions being drops by Baker, and that was for 109 yards. He got one drive after the half where he threw 50 percent, one of which was a throw away.
The problem was not that he was playing badly as much as drives were stalling out because of poor play calling and mistakes. Baker drop would have gone for a big play, but he dropped a gimme that was a good pass. Then we did things like run a screen that wasn't blocked properly. We also did the silly wildcat on 2nd and 9 early in the game. Those sort of plays hurt the offense. It was not because Wilson was entirely ineffective as you're claiming.
