Yeah, that's kind of what I was driving at. I didn't realize it was his third OC but that requires even more patience IMO. He got here late so he really only got on field instruction here for a little over a month. Add to that, the whole Offense is learning new schemes, we still have TE and receivers missing their assignments, not unexpected but it doesn't help Levis gain confidence. I have no idea how this will turn out, I like his athletic ability, I like his intelligence, and I like his confidence. If all of that leads to him becoming a really good quarterback, who knows, I think it's more advantageous to start with those qualities beings you can't really coach them. I looks to me like he gets antsy in the pocket, that is causing him to speed his own clock up, that is where I think his biggest area for improvement is. That's a coaching deal and a reps deal, I have faith he will get through it.
Never in my post did I call for Gran. Just pointing out he understood the lack of talent at QB when he was here. It’s not the perfect play call. As you said, it wasn’t executed properly. That’s a bad time to gamble. You run the ball and even if you don’t get it, the clock still runs or Florida is forced to call a Timeout. Instead, the clock stops, Florida keeps a timeout.
He did you are right, was better earlier on.
That's 3 yoshukai. # 1 I am not an idiot. @ 2 I am a big Basketball fan and came on the FB board to express my opinion if that's ok with you? Are you the FB Policeman of this board? I am hoping to win all the remaining games but in reality that prolly won't happen. I was hoping that we could possibly win one of the next 3, that's all. Peace and love brother.
Yeah , you came to the football board for the first time in over a year just to say it will be a miracle if we won 1 outa the next 3 games . You’re not fooling anyone basketball Benny.
That is exactly what happened on his interception. That ball was released very low .
So what I like basketball more. I used to have season tix at Stoll for 6-7 years. Let's see what happens in the next 3 games then we'll have something certain to talk about, if I am welcome here. No one else seemed to mind, lighten up bro. We both like the same school.
We're 5-0 and 3-0 in the SEC, I'd say we have plenty to talk about now.
First game there wasn’t any film on him in this offense. Now teams know what they are taking away and what you want to make him have to try to do. The film continues to build on what his strengths and weaknesses are. He and the offense both have to be able to respond to the things they haven’t been able to do well and improve on those. No secrets at this point
Lots of old school folks went to football games back then but didn’t have any expectations or even desire to have a good football program. You were probably one of the ones that wanted to give Rupp a Cadillac and Bear Bryant a timex .It’s people like you that held our football program back for decades. And everyone else is just ignoring you .Just go back to the basketball board, nobody wants your negativity.
Whoa you’re going next level with the accusations toward the Colonel! Pushing blame on him for football futility
The dude hasn posted on the football board since last October ,then after one of the biggest wins in our lifetime getting us to 5-0 he feels compelled to drop in and say “ it will be a miracle if we win 1 of the next 3 games and Tennessee scores a lot of points so we will end up with 3 or 4 losses for sure “ . What do YOU think his agenda is ? I think he’s one of those old people that have always thought a good football program was a threat to the basketball program. I honestly respect trash talking rival fans more than a wolf in sheep’s clothing.
you are so full of crap it isn't even funny. Does it matter how many posts I have made and the time between them? Way to welcome first timers. Prolly treat them the same, "if you don't have 6000 posts you opinion is somehow tainted." OBTY I never attended a UK game when the Bear was coach. Play the games and we will see how it plays out.
Yeah, the pocket has not been the same since. Even Chattanooga worked hard to mix it up and get pressure. He had a lot of time against ULM. But, that is part of the learning curve. He has the confidence of the coaches and he is, by reputation, a very hard worker. He will get better, something that was hard to do at PSU sitting at second string.
Most of the UK football fans sellout for ALL UK sports. Rarely do you find a UK football first fan who cheers for another college in basketball. Some don’t give a damn about basketball, but if they do, it’s usually UK. There are far more UK basketball fans who have other teams for football. It’s the Cowboy Syndrome. Cheer for “America’s team” in all sports or, maybe, just basketball. That is why, IMO, there are a lot of UK basketball fans who cheer for OSU or Bama in football.
Your comments about zone could be right and make sense. That said, the pocket has not been the same since the ULM game. He had a ton of time on most pass plays for that game.
This.
It's an effort to bring him along as a passer. If he had continued on an upward trajectory with his passing I think they would call more RPOs and designed runs. I think they want him more patient, not all that easy when as soon as you get spooked you take off. We saw this for a couple of years. The other problem with running him more is that our backup isn't quite ready to take over from a physical stand point. He came in slight in stature. All just my opinion but there seems to be a reason they are not using his wheels.
Nah I dont think so , If we were trying to honestly gain a medium to deep[ passing attack this attempts would be getting called . I think Its a Stoops offense being a Stoops offense. Conservative , dont turn it over , throw enough to keep them barely honest . Its Stoops brand , it works , up to a point . We will never tangle seriously and consistently with the top 10 IMO . Beat the hell out of being bad , but without better QB's AND receivers its going to have to be this style of ball .. having said that I think can the recruits , but its in his DNA to be very very conservative . Guys done a helluva job , it isn't always about style points , he's winning at a great clip under our standards
See I don't agree with that. I do agree that Stoops like low risks but I think he knows what league we play in, you can't hope to win the East and not be good in all three phases of the game. The pick against UF was a medium route, two of Will's early picks were across the middle. Most plays that we are running this year are ran with 3 or 4 routes, we're not hitting them, more so not progressing to them, but, they are there. It's just going to take some time. To me, it beats the hell out of going in to games knowing you really don't have a shot.
