Kentucky vs NIU game thread

I thought last week's poor performance would motivate them. It did not.
If Kentucky wins I hope stoops rips them a new one this whole upcoming week this is unacceptable
Not sure I fully trust Smoke here, but so many RBs are out that it's slim pickings. I think it'll be ok, though.
What I loved about Spurrier, is that all he cared about was winning; this is a 45-14 game with Spurrier. Why Stoops won’t bury someone is beyond me. Sometimes, he’s too nice for my liking. This should have been a 38-14 win at worst.
Wow we will get out of here with a W but man hopefully this is just a bad game!
IF WE DO T GET BETTER LINE PLAY TN WILL BEAT THE BRAKES OFF US
I don't think this is on Stoops, unless he is good with the job his offensive coaches are doing.
The O-Line coach needs to be fired and the OC needs to learn how to punish a team that just loads the box.
UK should have torched NIU on the outside with screens, short passes and Tight end dumps. I saw way too many weak runs up the middle when everyone knew our O-line was… .again, getting thrashed.
Even if he didn't pre-snap, all he had to do was trust his teammate and do his job, and he gets a huge hit on the QB.

Stoops needs some heat for 2 straight weeks of meh performances.
He's the man, but this will not work with what's ahead. Not sure if this is a lack of preparation or lack of motivation or both.

You know it’s coming, oh well we got the W. Take it and go home. Improve for the schedule in the future.
It happens. We’ve got a huge game next week and you have to just take it for what it is. They played down we’ve seen if before. I wasn’t expecting a blowout.
