Kind of what I saw before and expected, a big back but VERY fast (explosive) when he sees an opening. Not sure what has kept him down for so long, but very encouraging.
- WR's still need to find a way to make something happen downfield. Both Wilson and Hoak have thrown good balls downfield that haven't been caught.
- Wislon at a disadvantage as a few of his runs have been called down when he likely could have pulled away.
- The IT Wilson threw isn't on him. Hit TE in middle of hands. He bobbled it.
Defense looks decent so far but our biggest issue, at least in this small sample size, is our lack of down-field ability from the WRs. Good news is that Rose looks more than capable as a second RB. Also, Wilson is fast.

I’m not impressed at all with Hoak. Wilson isn’t much better either. With all the talk of Danny Clark from Stoops pregame I thought we may see him. We are a running football team plain and simple in desperate need of an above average qb. Johnson was average but had all the intangibles. From first look the two guys we just trotted on the field are huge downgrades.
"First look" is the key. It's the first half of a spring game. Shouldn't judge them so harshly right now.
They have scrimmaged all spring this is just the first time we get to see them. I don’t see an IT factor at all with hoak. Now Wilson took off on a run once that was impressive
Hoak was very good on the first 2nd half drive. Very accurate with the short and medium range passes. I like the fact that he can find and complete passes to receivers across the middle of the field. Something we were lacking the last two years.
I haven't watched the whole game, but I have been mostly unimpressed with Wilson due to lack of accuracy.
Last Spring game Rose got lit up and never seemed to recover. He does an excellent job setting up blocks. Jo Jo Kemp was excellent at that as well
I know, I know....exhibition.
Our defense which is loaded with returnees and experience has give up 36 points to a team with three new quarterbacks, no tight ends with any game experience and AJ Rose impersonating an all SEC running back.
Ah, me.....

I had the same thought when I saw the play, much more deserving than in the bowl game. Thought the official would have said something to him at the least, needed a reminder, which would have probably been a good reminder. I really expected to see Snell apologize to him. Kind of funny but serious at the same time. The referee standing there would have probably flagged him in a real game, but no ejection probably, not sure the one he hit knew what happened, lol.

Yes indeed. Rose and Snell....if Rose maintains THIS trajectory, running back will be of little concern.
Where was King? Is he injured?
I really hope Rose continues to develop and isn't just one of those spring game stars that disappears during the season but he looked great tonight. Looked much improved from last year. We knew he was a good athlete but he looked lost at RB last year. He looked legit tonight.

Found the answer to my own question...
Abadi-Fitzgerald wearing 94 not 96 as listed on the ukathletics roster
Agree.....I thought he looked pretty bad really; just not accurate at all.
I thought Hoak looked great, most accurate/poised UK QB I've seen seen since Andre Woodson.
Some good observations IMO. Wilson wouldn't have been down on several of those "tackles", and would have picked up good yardage. They targeted Bowden a lot, looked pretty good.
