Why chance it. We moved the ball and didn't give them the ball with great field position
You tell me. You let me know how smart you are and how un-smart I am. So wise, like a furry Buddha.
did we look scared? Uh, no. Have we played scared the whole first half? No we didn't. It's called strategy. We get the ball back first and we started at the frickin 2 yard line man. Oh and you try a pass and miss you stop the clock.
They are playing the percentages. We had to fight just to get past the 20. So instead of having a tipped ball or something that gives Mizzou a chance to score you just don't do it. Unless you just totally overmatch a team. Which we don't. Missouri is good.

Honestly, I'm not sure that is something you can prove. I'm certain there wasn't a poll taken or a properly researched sample.
Your buddy Bubba next to you doesn't count as everyone.
7-7 game
Your QB is throwing 95% completion rate.
You need 40 yards for a FG.
You have a full minute.
You have 2 time outs.
At least try something, it wasn't like we were on our own 20 and behind the chains.
I disagree with Stoops on this one.

I guess it would be sort of interesting to see what we would whine about if it weren't this.
On second thought, it probably wouldn't be interesting in the least.

Playing smart. Get the ball back to start the second, so why risk turning it over, and possibly giving up points. People can say "Oh BS, that wouldn't happen", but it has happened more times than any human being can count.
You guys that think coaches are above criticism are ridiculous. Yep we get the ball after half. Could've been 10-7 when we get it too. You'll be the same ones blaming the players if we lose by 3.
I'd rather take a chance. We have talent everywhere.
If the clock stops, run it. Run, pass, run, pass. 2 timeouts.
UK isn't the kind of team that can rest easy on a tie at the half. If you think otherwise, you're kidding yourself.

Run with the mob into their blanket, generalized statements. It's a good way to live your life.
I may be all alone on this, but I thought it was smart to get to the half tied and then get the ball to start the second half. Towles has played awesome, but you get the feeling he's due a bad play, and their pass rush is huge - I had no issue with getting to the half tied.
Remember when we were told that this team would play fast...air raid with lots of no huddle and hurry up.
