Congratulations to Tennessee; I do not congratulate fans for their favorite team winning, as they have no impact on the game whatsoever. That said, I don’t see people trashing the Tennessee program; just pointing out the trashiest fanbase. But obviously, your self-worth is tied to the success of the Tennessee Volunteers athletics program. Otherwise, you would not be trolling a Kentucky board like a douchecanoe.
Congrats on your team this year ... it's not just Hooker, you have a solid team and good coaches who have a good gameplan that is executed with some imagination. I wish we could say the same. Best of luck the rest of the year.
I didn't expect to lose to UT, so you can guess how surprised I was at the way we played. Yall have turned an avg QB into someone that might wind up as a trophy finalist. Very disappointed that we helped with that.
You're right about the OC. He's in over his head and our QB needs more development in going through progressions. Wasting a lot of talent this season so far.
I appreciate your sportsmanship. Reminds me of a few volunteer fans I once knew.
The new OC is a ****ing retard. I wish he would do the right thing and quit now
I think the sad part about yesterday's game is that we have not been humbled this way since e played Alabama several years ago . Many of us thought that those days of the 40 point beat down were behind us but clearly we have taken several steps back. And with the current coaches, I am not at all sure we will be able to hold on to some of the younger players. The top echelon SEC schools will pull some of our talent and our current recruiting class is marginal at best. So I feel that we may have seen the pinnacle of Ky football during the one year Coen was here. Feel free to convince me otherwise.
And by the way don't our tackles seem to be at the MAC level as far as speed and foot movement?

Out of curiousity, do you think the OC is a bad fit or is his conservative offensive game plan just implementing what Stoops wants from his offense?
I ask because I felt that Jeremy Pruitt had hamstrung Jim Chaney as a playcaller because of Pruitt's fears of TOs. Guarantano wasn't the caliber of QB that Levis is, to be sure, but it just doesn't seem like Levis was allowed to go vertical enough to keep the safeties honest and creeping into the box. UK just doesn't have the dominant OL this season that insert its will on a Front 7 so that bruising backs like Rodriguez can continually pick up 5-7 yds on runs. So a QB needs to be able to punish the D over the top when they creep up. Granted Levis rarely had much time in the pocket for deep throws, but regardless, you can't just continually run Rodriguez into a loadsd box and expect much success
As a UT fan I certainly expected to win this game, but really expected a slugfest because I expected Levis to challenge our secondary, so what I saw last night was surprising. A happy surprise, to be sure because I felt that running a time consuming conservative ground game wohld actually work in UT's favor, mainly because I didn't think your OL this season could sustain long drives in the ground game. I was also surprised UK never adjusted the offense when it became obvious running on 1st and 2nd wasn't working. Especially when you consider UK's 1 score was set up by a nice long pass play. It just seemed puzzling.
At any rate, good luck to UK the rest of the way.
Don't know how much the OC agrees with the head coach on strategy but the head coach has always believed in playing not to lose instead of playing to win. Fans knew we would have to score 50 to win yet we go in thinking we can hold TN's offense down enough to eck out a win. Best passer and receivers have had in years and we just waste it because of Stoops philosophy.
All you have to know is that WL is a shell of his former self and if we traded you hooker for Levis we would be in the same exact shape.
Because while people like to rag on Will, the QB isn’t the problem when calls are made that require a deep drop and take long time to develop and our line couldn’t block your local church league. We don’t need much time how many times have we seen hooker unload down field after a short drop and put it right in the basket of a streaking Hyatt ect.

Can't say I disagree with anything you are saying. This was a debacle and a failure to adjust was just one of our problems. After watching your earlier games, we had plenty in our playbook that would work well against UT. We ran so little of it that I wonder about the sanity of the OC. Levis was off last night as well, even when he had time, but the OC didn't help him at all.
Our line wasn't as bad as it seemed. The play calling made it so much worse as did our failure to read the defense.
Its not the QB or the OC it is o line. We have to throw screen and short routes because they cant protect him to push the ball down the field
I am pleasantly surprised that UT has some decent fans that can have a conversation without name calling or pounding their chest. For those in this and other threads who have done so kudos to you. However, you must be in the minority because after the low class way your University had the basketball team flaunt their SEC rings in front of the UK fan section it seems that classlessness apparently starts at the top.
