***** OFFICIAL Southern Miss Vs. Kentucky Game Thread ******

[Fox2monk]

We've been beating up CMS over the years for not being aggressive on offense in the final minutes of the first half. FINALLY we run our full offense to stick in a late TD after sniffing out and blowing up the fake punt..

Well done HC and OC for putting us up 24-0.

GBB!

That was a nice change I thought for sure we would get a FG out of that at best.

Yup. We also didn't let them score their last possession before the half. Love it, but a little concerned I woke up in an alternate dimension and my real loved ones are worried about me.

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

Offense looked really good on that last drive. Some of the drives had me worried.

 

[PhattyJ4UK]

Even with blown third down assignments, some bone headed throws, and stuff to clean up I realllllly like how this team looks after only two quarters.

Very fortunate to be up 24-0 but all the things I have seen were very fixable. The athleticism and talent is there.

Will Stoops go into an offensive shell in the 2nd half?

 

[Fox2monk]

Barion Brown has looked great tonight. I’m glad to see him engaged, he’s always had the talent to be great.

 

[TucsonCat]

Hamdan like me on EA 25.
Keep running that Brown sweep till it won't work.
I like offensive coordinators that just keep moving down the field.
Too many get cute and jump to other plays to show off their genius.

I really hoping that Stoops has learned to stay out of it and let his OC do his thing

Yup, Stoops is a great coach. It if he would get more aggressive he could take the next step for him and our program. We have to take chances to compete on this league. Not only do we have the best defenses but the offenses are explosive now too.

I'm old school like that as well. I'll run it until you show me you can stop it consistently.

 

[bluecoon1]

Has there been any word on how long Chip is expected to be out?

When he broke his hand someone on here said they were told 2-3 games, don’t know how solid that is.

 

[bbncal02]

Good lands ref.....that was just SLIGHTLY a hold.

 

[megablue]

Stoops has an ipad puff !! 😎

 

[Fox2monk]

Looks like Napier has Florida still sucking, good news for us.

 

[bbncal02]

Oh LOL here come the refs..

 

[MbergCat]

Terrible call

 

[sefus12]

That was an awful flag…

 

[CatsFan4Evr.]

A lot of heavy rain about to enter the Lexington area. Not sure if there’s any lightning, but the rain will be heavy at times.

 

[Fox2monk]

Love the pressure we are getting on the QB.

 

[Global Havok]

Throwing that flag is a good way to get him to not pull up next time.

 

[kywildcat41086]

Definitely a bad flag there !

 

[bbncal02]

If that's roughing get out the pillows.

 

[bbncal02]

Yep.....

 

[BleedBlue13]

In addition to Florida sucking South Carolina looked even worse on offense. No reason at all not to come away with a win next week

If he does that A&M might want him.

 

[megablue]

Defensive pursuit and tackling have been pretty good ...

 

[Fox2monk]

@Grumpyolddawg was right, Brock can definitely run the ball better than many expected.

 

[megablue]

Maclin is a jitterbug ... !!

 

[BC_Wader]

Maclin has some moves man

 

[bluecoon1]

They looked bad, don’t think he’ll make it past our game if we win.

Grumpy knows ball ... !!

It's almost sad to see that happen to UF. ALMOST.

No way Napier survives another bad loss.

Nope not getting whopped like that. It won’t get any easier.

 

[jameslee32]

Hamdan doing a nice job of mixing it up. Only pressure kept that ball from being accurate.

 

[Rockfly78]

We look nowhere near as good so far as the top SEC teams I saw play today.

Well, we aren’t one of the top SEC teams. Did you think we were?

 

[BleedBlue13]

Florida fans looking for Spurrier, Kiffin, Urban, anyone right now lol

 

[megablue]

I think tempo will be improved next week.
Lots of things improve from WK1 to WK2.

 

[HYTCHYE ISLAND]

How in the hell do we STILL have problems getting plays off on time??? So sick of the same damn mistakes! And our oline is leaking bad.

 

[vhcat70]

Wide open

 

[Crystalglass]

Brock sure as hell ain’t afraid to get hit.
