Lol Scangrello

You will win 0 games scoring 7 points. It’s not ok to lose every game even if your QB is hurt. Stop being dense. It’s the OCs job to figure it out. If he can’t do it, someone else can.

I'm starting to think that you may be the dense one.

The UK oline stinks. Skill position talent is irrelevant if the blocking is putrid. They are the reason Levis has a broken finger and a foot injury.

The NFL thinking Levis is a top QB is irrelevant to the OL being skilled enough to win games.

Lincoln Riley wouldn't turn this offense around. Your good OL graduated.
 
I don't know about that. At some point you 've got to make an explosive play. Carolina did. I think Scang and Stoops handcuffed Sheron on early downs and Beamer had it figured out.
Sheron was not allowed to play. Idiot OC did everything he could to make sure Sheron wouldn’t throw it.

Yeah, I think we were overly cautious. Beamer had Stoops pegged as someone who is ultra conservative in terms of play calling and would become even more so with a completely inexperienced QB at the helm.

It’s obvious you don’t know crap. You have to scheme around a poor offensive line. Not run plays that expose them. For instance, running a slow developing run play with a RB who already doesn’t have sure hands being responsible for handling a pitch and a handoff. All while the D line gets extra time to break into the backfield because of the extra handling. It’s just a stupid call. Or when it’s 3rd and 13 on the eleven and you run a drop back into the end zone and take a sack. You have almost no shot at the 1st down and you have an awful Oline. Why the hell would you call that? It defies reason.

Eddie Gran won without a QB period. This guy scored 19 pts last week with the #1 pick in the draft, the best RB we’ve ever had and the most talented WR core. So against non cupcake opponents we’ve scored 26, 19, & 7ish tonight. What do you think his offense is going to look like next year when 2 of those things are gone? I’ll give you a hint, they still have one of them tonight.
Did you insinuate Levis will be the #1 pick in the draft?
 
We haven’t been able to score points in SEC play all year. And while the line is an issue we are far too talented At QB and the skill positions to not be able to score points. Part of it is the ridiculously slow pace we play at.
HC /OC philosophy.
 
You have to scheme around a poor offensive line.

When you figure that out, you will be the first to do so. You should find yourself in high demand. Let us know what team hires you.

Levis, a top prospect, can't get points out of this OL. What magical playbook did you thing was going to be used last night with the backup?

There’s no point in discussing with you if you believe that.

Cole Cubelic gave us the best insight possible tonight. It's clear that the move to a "pro" style of offense requires a certain understanding from the offensive line/coach. The number of missed assignments tells me it's either too complicated or we're incapable of running it. Either way, to assume they will just "get it" is asinine and has now cost us a game (combined with some of the worst calls we've seen since Shannon Dawson was OC).
Hopefully Stoops' thinking process includes this rationale.

That being said, Coen had to make adjustments to our blocking scheme last year and we turned out OK, so there is a chance. Will our OC figure that out? No clue. I do know that running 0 dig/simple slant routes and more screens for Brown/Key is criminal. I don't care who is QB, those aren't difficult throws or pass protection schemes.

Lazydave why don’t you listen to people who know a hell of a lot more than you.

When did Coen make the adjustments? Sometime during the 6-0 start or after/during the 3 game losing streak? The reality is, UK went 1-3 against teams with a pulse last year with a good OL. It created a lot of hype with a returning Levis (who suddenly became a top prospect, adding more hype). CRod was slated to return. A second Robinson transferred in and the freshman WRs were immediate upgrades.

Forgot in this was UK lost 4 OL. 2 are pros, 1 should have came back, and I think the other graduated (forgive me if off and it's just 3).

Now that the bloom is off, UK is a 6.5 pt HOME underdog to Miss State. And that's with Levis expected to play. If he can't go, that line likely hits double digits. And this Miss St team has a ceiling of 8 wins. LSU already beat them by 2 TDs. And guess who just beat LSU?

Tennessee. Offense is rolling. They are only a 7.5 underdog to Bama.

7 wins looks good with this OL right now.

We have some clown fans that deserve to be strapped to a gurney and forced to watch Eddie Gran offenses.
Gran adapted to the players he had and would certainly do better with these players than the way they have played so far. Stoops has a record of regrouping almost every year he has been here partly like last year from players getting well hopefully it happens this year also.

Hearing how near impossible it is to score with a back-up qb is making me feel kind of schizophrenic; I have all these memories of back-up quarterbacks doing okay against UK.
I guess they're old age related false memories but they seem so real...
 
So much crap on here - we got a awful offensive line I mean the worst in the SEC no offensive coordinator is doing Jack with this line
This is on recruiting simple as that. Wasted time on Goodwin and Young and several others who can’t help

So was Georgia, Auburn and Florida St wasting their time as well recruiting John Young? And who else should we have been efforting besides him? 6'6 280 lbs...pretty good prospect to me.

So was Alabama, Clemson, Ohio St, Michigan St, etc... wasting their time as well recruiting Goodwin? And who else should we have been efforting besides him? 6'8 320nlbs...amazing prospect to me.

Doesn't mean that Goodwin is ready to contribute on day 1.

That's the trick at Bama. You bring in 20 guys like Goodwin and 3-5 guys who you really like regardless of rating and they battle it out.

How many of the current OL on the roster do you think Bama ACTUALLY wanted?

Do you honestly Bama didn’t want Goodwin? Why are we even debating this

Does a picture of Saban with Goodwin count as Bama wanting him?

Wasn't talking about Goodwin.

That's one. How many of the others?

Until you have 3-4 or more, you are playing with a full house and they keep trotting out 4 of a kind.

Your comments are not making sense...

- It was clearly stated "recruiting Goodwin was a waste of time"....that is utter stupidity even if he does not pan out. The kid grew up in Ky, was recruited by Ohio St, Michigan, Bama, Clemson, Michigan St, etc... All wanted him and UK was correct in pursuing him.

Sounds to me you are obsessed with Goodwin. We all know that he was a high end OL recruit. That's not being disputed BY ME.

My entire point is that you have to recruit a bunch of OL kids that Bama and UGA want and get them on your team.

Burton? Adams (who transferred)?

So your plan is to out recruit Bama. Got it, let’s just do that! Lol

If you don't pull in similar talent, you are going to have to develop kids. Development takes longer. You aren't going to have a great OL every year. Keep whining about scheming for it. Laugh some more.
 
Sheron with a dime on the fake pitch TD pass.

Give Scang credit. He didn't miss the block that led to the poor pitch/fumble.
Only thing I would like to have seen was that reverse be between our wrs. Key, Brown, Robinson or others. Take your pick.

Disagree ...IF STOOPS had a guy like Riley and didn't put restraints on him, he would kill it with the skill talent on this team.
 
It was designed for Brown. Or do you mean another WR be the one getting the ball initially instead of CRod?
Yes! Speed with speed. It does zero good to recruit these guys if they're only touching the ball once or twice a game. Of course if Dingle hadn't gotten blown up who knows. Another mistake...a freshman TE shouldn't have been in that situation.

I understand the sentiment, but it's tough to create a WR to WR play. Double reverse, sure, but SC blew up the regular reverse.

Wildcat with a WR? Maybe. They've not done it yet have they?

And you mention Dingle. Talent is talent. And your WRs like Brown and Key: freshmen.

No you’re right, we should stop worrying about scheming around the players we have and just go get Alabamas players. It’s genius. I wonder if the coaches thought about that?

No no, you continue to wallow in your misery thinking your team was guaranteed to be 10-2. Keep telling yourself whatever makes you feel better before you start watching basketball Tubby.

What do you mean dude? I’m agreeing with you. Let’s just go get all of Alabamas players and then it won’t matter what schemes or plays we run. I mean we had Tim Couch running the option and that’s why he was an all American right. Schemes and plays don’t matter, it’s just players.

He could have been a super star at the college level! I liked him, his play calling, his personality.
The Rams just got smashed at home by Dallas. They've scored a total of 19 points the last two games.
Coen was a great fit at UK/college football. Sometimes I think coaches are too quick to jump ship looking for greener grass. I don't know what he's making at LA but his new contract for UK, had he stayed was $1.1M that's in line with what NFL OCs make, and LA cost of living>>>Kentucky.

I doubt Coen is in charge of the offense there. If not, not his fault for the numbers.
 
The offensive coordinator is not in charge of the offense?? I know McVay calls the plays but Coen is the OC.

I think McVay is the primary play designer as well. It's probably Coen's job to relay the playbook and make sure the offense understands the system and plans weekly.
 
Scang is doing a terrible job featuring our strengths and minimizing the impacts of our weaknesses. It honestly seems like he isn’t even paying any attention to that. Like it’s all just Xs and Os to him. A chess game with no variables.
 
I think Coen would be having similar problems with this offensive line. Maybe he could dumb down the playbook better than Scang, but I don't think we would be cruising on offense with the line the way it has been. I'm hoping this is a one year blip due to inexperience. If we are having similar problems next year, then you have to wonder if the responsibilities being placed on the linemen are too complex for the amount of practice time they get in college.

They are having issues on the OLine, sounds familiar. They also don’t have anyone outside of Kupp getting open consistently, they sound like they want OBJ back which would help. However, the OLine is going to be a problem all year most likely.
