Looking back, what are the chances SC stole our signs? It was as an important game for them as it was for us and it just seems like they knew everything we were going to do.
 
With the communication the QB has now with the built in head set I doubt signal stealing will be an issue from here on out. Now hacking to the opponents system might become an issue.

that would be a Harbaugh move that would get a team in a butt-load of trouble if caught.

I am sure it would and be hard to deny. But I was thinking kids from places like Vandy or GT. I guess everyone has some form of computer engineering program now but those are suppose to be smart schools.

Hacking's coming, bet your bottom dollar. TN's not about to overlook that, too easy for the taking. Maybe I misunderstood but I thought Stoops said one of UK's wandering DBs Sat blew a coverage call via head set.

I don't think anyone would be that damn stupid. Because if the did and they got caught, that's federal level takedown. The FCC doesn't play with hacking or jamming communications. If you get caught doing that, you WILL go to federal prison.

All true, but people still rob banks knowing if they get caught they go to federal prison. How much money is bet on college games each week?
 
If they did steal, we have no idea. They had such a difference maker at the edge, nothing developed far enough to let any steal matter. Plus we did what we wanted with inside zone and pin/pull.

Then on d they did nothing that hurt us. Literally the only plays that produced anything were blown coverages and a non holding call on our contain.

So if they stole anything, it made no difference. Maybe next time our secondary guys will overhear them calling out our coverages and actually play it correctly themselves.

I don't think the headset communications will end signals being sent from the sidelines anytime soon. I've seen several reports so far this season of QBs saying they could not hear their coaches at all due to crowd noise and still were having to look to the sidelines for communication. In some of the big arenas at least, this will likely continue to be an issue.
 
I am not sure about sign stealing, but they for sure stole our soul. I do not think I have witnessed a team team go so dominated on both sides of the ball. Never had a chance. Worst performance of a Stoops lead team EVER. No heart, no effort, no care shown. It was obvious what was going to happen early in the game. They got smacked dead in the mouth and laid down like a Vegas whore. The 4 plays I actually watched, I was embarrassed by the effort, or lack of.

Conner Stalions was in attendance for the Syracuse vs Clemson game on 10/22/22, and the UK vs Tennessee game (10/29/22) game for sure... Those signals were given to someone on Beamer's staff a week later... This has been confirmed. That season ends, and Beamer gets rewarded for those two games with a big contract extension...
Dude has done nothing since those two games..
If you think that Beamer wouldn't do it again to save his job, you're high on meth...
There is no way UK should've lost that game.
That line was around -8.5 to -10 before kickoff.
Coming from a team that only beat Old Dominion by 4 points a week before, to beating a favorite by 25 on their homefield?
You tell me, what makes sense...
Good luck on your season.
 
I'd hope we could muster up something different to throw off our opponent.

Kinda disappointed today and depressed, the team was supposed to be better than this.

I guess you gotta pick your battles too. Not having our start qb is a worry.

Man, i tell you what, I'd do something ballsy today....just play the game. Mix up offense, give our team a chance at least.
