-- Cats allowing 30 PPG against non-SEC opponents and 16 PPG to SEC opponents.
-- CJ Johnson with 19 tackles tonight. Two incredible games. Have to think he's SEC DL of the Week for a second straight week after that.
-- Patrick Towles played poorly, no getting around it. Did some decent things, did some bad things. Made plays late in the clutch. Have to criticize him, have to credit him for making plays late.
-- If UK is going to have an 'egg' performance that was the game to have it. It's still the team that beat Missouri and South Carolina. They're 4-1 (2-1) and I think they could be favored when Auburn visits Commonwealth -- at least a very good chance to go 5-1 (3-1). That's how big that late comeback was.
-- Jojo Kemp is the right RB to have in the game at the end. Your best blocker. Steady. Runs hard late.
-- Dorian Baker is an absolute grown man.
-- Bit surprised that UK couldn't build on its success with Conrad in the passing game. Progress isn't always going to be steady with a true freshman. Didn't have his best game as a blocker. Still, valuable experience.
-- First time since 1993 (at least) that UK didn't have one senior starter on offense in a game.
-- Chris Westry didn't have his best game. Wasn't all bad but did get beat on the TD. Still always around the ball, especially for a corner.
-- Defense played very fast, a bit too fast -- blitzes often went flying past the quarterback. I don't think you do anything different.
-- Not sure in hindsight it was a good idea to give away your plan to put your QB in when coupled with keeping Boom out. May send the wrong psychological message. Can't really say too much though because most people (myself included) thought it was a good idea at the time.
-- Offensive line was missing some guys but not their best game. Continue to struggle. They are who they are.
-- Interesting dynamics at QB. Think Towles is the easy starter going into next game. Some of you won't like that and I think you can make a good case for letting Barker play some. However, they aren't going to change it after a win on a late comeback.
-- Bit surprised EKU passed as much as they did. Thought they got a little cute at times.
-- Strange convergence of events. Towles played poorly, team played unmotivated, missing some key guys, let EKU hang around. Expect a very different effort v Auburn. Never as good or bad as it seems.
-- Worst part of the game was the inability to establish the run. Have to rush for at least 4 times those 55 yards against EKU.
-- Auburn game will be the biggest in a very long time for UK given the stakes. How much difference a narrow win makes over a loss.
