In fairness, the lack of plays is concerning. Maybe Coen needs to simplify the playbook or maybe the defense just needs to get the heck off the field. Or both. Defense allowing these 7-10 minute drives is harming our offense just as much as the lack of consistency from the offense.
OP was the one that compared the two
Right, fact is, UK won easily, Tennessee lost
I mean, the point still stands that a ton of offensive snaps ≠ a victory. Would be happy with fewer plays as long as we're efficient and scoring. Feel like we did that better tonight, but yeah, we need to run more plays some way some how.
And I loved every minute of it.......other than having to acknowledge that Florida is much better than everyone thought they would be this year.
I yelled at the screen a few times tonight telling our defense to get lined up. Absolutely will get us burned.
Hell, 7 might beat Alabama based on what we've seen from their offense so far.
Or Knoxville is much worst and for damn sure ain't a top 20 team in 2023
About like we are now. Middle of the pack in our good years.
We owe them a butt whipping in Lexington this year.
You think having quite a few long plays kinda messed with how many plays we ran? Kinda cuts down on plays when you hit a lot of long ones.
That was the point of my post.
And that makes me really sad......
lmao. Yeah UK can fire Stoops, snap its fingers and go to SEC championship games with a new coach. And you are flat lying through your teeth saying we are the same. Get back to me with the bowl rundown before Stoops. Some UK fans acting like we should be winning championships or bust are clowns. Complete clowns.
That was the point of my post.
Yeah, no. You have some takes I can agree with, some I won't argue, and some I just can't help but shake my head at.
Agree with everything but also want to give a shout out to the 2006 team that also got 8 wins. Beating Georgia and tearing down the goalposts for the final time really got momentum going for the Brooks era.
Why is it mind boggling? Our offensive line couldn’t hold Akron back, our receivers and QB were not on the same script, and our RB didn’t do anything until the end of the game.
That turns should be blowouts into nailbiters. It’s another thing to play a style that deliberately keeps other teams in contention throughout all 4 quarters, especially when your teams are wildly undisciplined and often seem unprepared.
We also scored fast with only 25 minutes of possession. I agree our pace should be better but when you score 5TD’s quickly you won’t run much. Tennessee also only scored what like 14 points?
