UK - EKU game thread

[PensacolaBlue]

So is everybody giving up on the team after the second game?

Pretty much

 

[sam_o]

I still think they can win 8 or maybe 9 games, probably beating no one really good and end up n the who gives a crap bowl of our choice.

That's the best case anyways.

All based on a clunker against EKU. Alright

 

[megablue]

More like seeing the painful reality that this team is simply not the team or program we all thought/hoped it was

Simply not walking the talk, so far, anyway.
Gotta live up to the pre-season hype and it has not happened yet ...

 

[MirageSmack]

Touchdown Ray Davis!

Only one “e” off

 

[yes_takeaside]

OK D. The offense has given you another chance. Can u finally get a stop?

 

[ukalum1988]

Fans leaving CWS like they think we got this one.

What was the spread for this game?

I’m not giving up on them yet, simply because I know we have a tendency to play down to the level of our opponent, but it’s sad that we are still at that point. I thought this would be the year we come out focused and get the backups some time in the 4th. Not be in a battle with EKU.

Getting to grind now. Stoops got a boner....

 

[ZenCatFan73]

TD!! Way to answer Cats!!

 

[Ugoff]

Tenn trailing Austin Peay 3-0. Maybe it's going around.

 

[warrior-cat]

We have one game like this EVERY year. I don’t like it, either. But having a terrible game against EKU doesn’t mean our team can’t be good and be competitive in SEC play. Stoops says this team can be good and he’s earned my trust. Our team will improve

No, we played like this the first half last week so, that is two weeks in a row. Slow starts will not end well for us vs SEC talent.

Sounds like Urban Meyer.

No. Just lowering expectations and rightfully so.

Your eyes don't lie. Lot of issues to overcome.

 

[katwest]

We can forget about the polls and respect, because it’s not going to happen. There is a lot of work to do and coaching included.

 

[jameslee32]

Obviously it's not perfect with the blocked punt but UK special teams has had a huge impact on this game.

Ole miss down 17-10

 

[sam_o]

Last I saw was uk -31.5

 

[kywildcat41035]

Darn it defense do something

I agree

 

[UKWildcats1987]

No, based on the schedule. Try to keep up but I'm assuming Georgia, Bama and tn are 3 losses.

I'm also showing UK respect by predicting them to win at msu, something Stoops never does. I also think they can beat sc, hence my 8 or 9 win scenario.

I look at things from an intelligent unbiased perspective. I'm not some dumb Homer saying we are gonna win the east. I watched the Georgia game today and they have a lot more dudes and a better coach than we do.

 

[CUJO_1970]

I can’t wrap my head around this pathetic ass defense

 

[kywildcat41035]

Last I saw was uk -31.5

Definitely not going to sniff close to that

Some teams take more time to get there but the signs are there

 

[KyCatFan]

Back to doormat status.

They don't play better in the SEC, we will be sayimg this.

 

[gojvc]

FG kicker is a legit pick-up ... no question.
Long-snapper, too.

I think I heard Kirby Smart say they would have to find some way to neutralize our long snapping.

 

[CUJO_1970]

nice sack on third down, more holding there on EKU

 

[bbncal02]

Tenn trailing Austin Peay 3-0. Maybe it's going around.

If they don't beat that team by 70......
Austin Peay, bless their hearts, pay FINO (football in name only).

 

[yes_takeaside]

Order restored

 

[ukalum1988]

What was the spread for this game?

I’m not sure there was one TBH.

 

[Fox2monk]

Walker with a huge play.

 

[cathouse]

What was the spread for this game?

31

Intelligent people don’t make assumptions.

Another TV timeout.

Does not appear that way

They have a lot more dude and a better coach than about all but maybe 3 programs. They are #1 in that order until proven otherwise. Only Saban has a claim still.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Intelligent people don’t make assumptions.

I'm using historical data and recruiting rankings. Again, I'm showing respect by predicting a win at MSU.

What's your prediction then hotshot?

 

[vhcat70]

Intelligent people don’t make assumptions.

Agree. They hypothesize.

 

[sam_o]

No. Just lowering expectations and rightfully so.

Your eyes don't lie. Lot of issues to overcome.

I agree on the second part

Coen should get credit for this win. He called some fantastic plays this half to get the offense going.

Stoops and White will NEVER change their defense. That's why we are so predictable. Every team knows what we are going to give them on defense. Even D2 teams.
