Offense sucks, defense is solid. I think the 3 juggernauts will put up points on our D but otherwise they should dominate.

 

[gamecockcat]

Offense needs to improve a lot. Defense needs to improve on 3rd down and giving up big plays. Other than that, they've been very solid.

 

[catzfanjim]

I thought our QB was a stud but so far he hasn't been very impressive. I guess if our line was better he would have more passing yards.

I will reserve judgment on Brock for a few more games.

Having only 1/2 a game against a cupcake
When some teams have had nothing but cupcakes skew the numbers.

SC being so good up front and GA to open the year isn't the best recipie for offensive numbers with a new QB.
If he doesn't pick it up considerably this week I will be concerned.

Horrific numbers. But who’s surprised? 12 years in and we’re all still breaking down what needs to be fixed. Nothing will change or get fixed until the one at the top is gone.

 

[YaketySax]

I wouldn’t use those numbers. They are only for 2.5 games when everyone else has played 3 full games (well not SMiss), and aLao arent adjusted for SoS like SP+, FEI, FPI, etc.

I don’t think the offense is good but it’s not triple digit bad as some of those indicate. The yards per play numbers are more credible though. Without looking at SP+ this week, I’d guess the offense is closer to 65-75th range out of 130ish teams.

 

[YaketySax]

ithout looking at SP+ this week, I’d guess the offense is closer to 65-75th range out of 130ish teams.

Looked it up. SP+ has UK’s offense ranked 56th

SP+ rankings for all 134 FBS teams after Week 3: A new No. 1

After Georgia's close call against Kentucky, there's a new No. 1 in the SP+ rankings.

Not sure about the other “advanced analytics” ratings.

Stoops' whole tenure revolves around having a putrid offense.

 

[Boz]

Honestly, where do we find these bad OC's? Stoops has no problem finding them. He always picks one of the worst in the country.
