Did Gran run the Wildcat this much before he came here? Looked like we missed Boom and Badet. Going to have to find someone to make a big play.
I think you're dead on. Play calling was about as conservative as it gets. There's no point in having SJ in the game if you don't let him actually use his legs or throw it a little bit on 1st down. They'll probably play a very similar style against EKU because they know they can win with it but if they don't open it up a bit more against SC it will be ugly. The D is gonna be good enough to win some games but this O needs major work (OL specifically).Took our opponent (who beat us last year) too lightly. Very vanilla game plan and a whole off-season to create ways to get Conrad involved and he only gets 2 touches. Snell fumble and SJ sack late in first half took 6-10 points off the board also.
Best plays were read-option handing it to Snell and 2 play action passes to Conrad.
What didn't work...Snell wildcat with no motion before the snap to at least hide it and create numbers ...and straight drop back passing.
A lot has to be on the o-line play...can't be too creative when your getting whipped on 1st down all day in the trenches.
Defense and special teams where very good...minus about 10 minutes of bad tackling in the second half.
I'm so sick of being boring, UK football is BORING and it has been for a very long time. There's no reason for such a long period without a decent, fun to watch offense. Maryland put up 51 on Texas today, WVU scores a million points every year and we look like a high school team running the most basic stuff imaginable.
My kingdom for Mike Hartline
Yes. The Snellcat wasn't working. We've used motion in the past, so the only thought is they were possibly holding it back. I expected Bowden to be the motion guy, picking up where Timmons left off. Benny and the Jets.....It's Grann calling the plays. I'm wondering what happened to the motion in the wildcat. I feel like it can keep another defender out of the box to guard against the sweep. At least give an option other than straight ahead run every time.
