Official: UK vs. UT Game Thread

This is what happens when you plan to play close and hope to win instead of planning to score every series and shut the other team down. IT's just painful to watch this much talent just underused.

This will end up hurting him in future recruiting classes too!

I’ve got a bottle of Pappy I’m saving until we make it to the SEC championship game! Hell it might turn into kerosene before I ever get to open it!

 

[ThunderMash]

Fact is, Kentucky WILL find ways to make dumb mistakes despite hoping that they'll suddenly play clean football. You can write a whole book on all the stupid things UK does.

I want to say they'll come out of halftime looking better, but I really don't believe myself if I do. Hope for the best.

Tennessee is strong against the run, so we should just run, run, run.

i think we can wear them down in the 4th qtr

 

[BigBlue1992]

Heupel has done more in under 2 years than Stoops in almost 10. He’s gotta go. Florida and South Carolina ain’t gonna stay down forever either although we lost to one anyway.

 

[lakercat]

We’ll squeak out a win there, beat Louisville and Vandy and go a pretty unsatisfying 8-4 probably.

We’re good enough to beat Mizzou and Louisville, but Tennessee and Georgia are gonna run a train on us.

Nope pretty sure he took 3 to the half with

How do you not use those to slow them up a bit on those drives?

 

[ck-2]

Stoops has this program prepared to make a run at a MAC championship. So we either need to move to the MAC, or move on. The SEC east is on the rise. He’s about to play the caliber of opponents that Rich Brooks had to prepare for.

Coaching.

At the rate we are going to be honest I don’t know who we can beat the rest of the year! Maybe Vandy?

 

[The_Answer1313]

This game stinks because it's UT but honestly this one bugs me a lot less than South Carolina and Mississippi. Those were games we should have won.

This one was always going to be real tough.

You sure about Louisville?

 

[UKortho]

We have a first round QB and great receivers. We will have to throw in the second half and you’ll see a totally different (better) offense. Will be too late.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

You sure about Louisville?

Louisville isn’t good, they benefit from being in the ACC, but if Kentucky plays like they are right now they can certainly be beat

Does Stoops ever use his TO’s ? I agree with you totally but it’s Stoops we’re talking about a lot of stuff he does man doesn’t make any sense at all!

 

[Roe07]

I'm convinced that Mark Stoops would rather lose a game 13-10 than win it 56-49.

 

[Edgarman]

I’ve got a bottle of Pappy I’m saving until we make it to the SEC championship game! Hell it might turn into kerosene before I ever get to open it!

You will be disappointed, there are a lot of KY bourbon that is way better than Pappy's.

 

[ManitouDan]

Stoops took us to another level….it’s time to find a coach who can finish this thing. I appreciate everything he’s done. No animus toward him. Big 10 football will NEVER win big in this conference. The SEC is the cutting edge of college sports, particularly football. No time to,play antiquated ball.

This is what happens when you plan to play close and hope to win instead of planning to score every series and shut the other team down. IT's just painful to watch this much talent just underused.

The Big ten is screaming for a guy like Stoops -- Go to NW and win a few games 18-16 .. people will love you ..

And yes , playing to stay close is exactly what Mark stoops does . And he's good at it .

 

[flacat22]

You sure about Louisville?

Puhleeeze

 

[BigBlueManSouthCentralKY]

Mental toughness has so much to do with it. So many of our guys are very talented but lack the mental toughness some of our past teams had. Not just dropping passes, making bad decisions, missing extra points and not making big hits but always players getting hurt all the time also.

 

[lakercat]

Louisville isn’t good, they benefit from being in the ACC, but if Kentucky plays like they are right now they can certainly be beat

I mean, they blew out Wake, but even we could beat Tennessee if they committed eight turnovers in the second half.

Well at this rate it's gonna be 49-10 lol

Sheesh. Imagine we went into this shit show 7-0 and a top 5 match up? Could've been one of our most embarrassing losses ever. So, in a strange way, thank you SC and Ole Miss.

Actually it depends what Louisville team shows up for the game.

Wake would lose to most SEC teams, Louisville is alright but what Tennessee does to Kentucky, Kentucky does to Louisville

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Kentucky can be off and still win that game

 

[wildcat_nation28]

You can both **** off

It is what it is but always easy to get someone going did you really think we was going to be a football school?

 

[jameslee32]

Winning is never wrong.

 

[DraftCat]

Stoops built the program no doubt... but the TN HC was able to surpass what he did in 2 years.

I don't know if I want another HC but I think UK has reached their limit

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

First play a shovel pass to TE, yeah fire scangerallo into the sun

 

[BlueRunner11]

Here we go…run, run, screen.

 

[catagious]

Alright! A first down pass!

 

[zannmann]

That’s the best play you call coming out of half time?

 

[ManitouDan]

We have a first round QB and great receivers. We will have to throw in the second half and you’ll see a totally different (better) offense. Will be too late.

I'm not sold we have a first round draft pick .. only if those pro teams draft on the P word and someone teaches him how to progress from read to read to read .... he is TERRIBLE at it .. Awful . I've watched our O from the end zone with receivers running wide open and WL locks in to a single guy .. time after time after time .

 

[STL_Cat]

It is what it is but always easy to get someone going did you really think we was going to be a football school?

NOT the point at all and you can **** off for bothering to even bring that up right now. Just go to rafters and post if that’s your style. Don’t need that shit here

 

[kywildcat41035]

Good gosh not a way to start the 2nd half

 

[ThunderMash]

Somehow, Kentucky has to score more than 21 points while also holding Tennessee scoreless. Yeah, I don't know about that.

 

[pauled]

You will be disappointed, there are a lot of KY bourbon that is way better than Pappy's.

I’ve got a pretty nice collection of Ky bourbon, I’ve tried most of it out there!

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

I feel sorry for the poor Kentucky fans that actually spent money to go to this game
