We can analyze all the statistics and dissect individual plays. But ... at the end of the day UK will win games where we have a neutral of positive turnover margin.

Ga is the only game where I think we have to have a positive TO margin to win. (I didn't watch much of the Mo game and have no clue the TO margin in that game.) Ga may not be as dominant as last year, but I still believe we'll need to have a positive TO margin to win.

I think we win the rest of our games UNLESS we lose the TO.

Kicking game is a total mess! With All that said with 1st down at the 7 and 10 and CRod doesn't touch the ball!! 5 pts lost by special team. Really?

This. I would have rather ran a hurry up w 2 CRod handoffs and depending on time, a spike on 3rd tk kick the FG

We missed a FG, 2 extra points, had a safety, had a TD called back due to penalty, and .... tripped on a KO return for a TD!

We still win that game if we don't lose the TO margin.

I'm certainly not saying the other things don't matter. But, I think we can beat every team on our schedule (except Ga) if we don't lose TO margin.

Didn’t even need to be a hurry up. Pass play to the 7 ended with 1:10 to go. Could have snapped and ran a play with .45 - .50 seconds to go and still time for another run with .25 to go. 3rd down you are still snapping the ball at .10 with a quick pass play into the end zone which is either a TD or incomplete to stop the clock and kick the FG.

We really had plenty of time to work with. Despite the success of the pass (hell of a catch by Key), which was negated by the penalty, don’t understand why we were in such a hurry.

Out of character for Stoops.
