UK - EKU game thread

[RobEStacy]

Night and day difference in offense in the halves. First half was pretty much huddle, line up and try to execute. Not much movement or anything flashy.

Second half we have picked up the tempo. Had alot of movement pre snap (like Coens 1st year) and we did some flashy type stuff.

Not sure we have grind it out, line up and execute players. But we do have a speedy tempo team that can make some big plays. I think once everyone is on the same page we will see the execution get better.

 

[Fox2monk]

Leary looking much better this half. Maybe it was just rust. Davis getting ball has helped IMO.

 

[bbncal02]

31

Unless we score 21 in 5 minutes, folks are taking a bath on that one.

 

[kywildcat41035]

Brown and Davis both hurt that wouldn’t be good

Tempo too. Play calling was not great in first half.

I think our team will continue to improve and I’m not going to throw the season away because we sucked against Eastern Kentucky in week 2. You are welcome to do that, if you like.

 

[podgejeff_]

Let's get some more penalties. Why not at this point?

Defense has got to improve. I just don't think we're going to know anything about this team until SEC Play.


Annnnnnd yet another penalty as I type.

 

[maysvilleky]

So much for backup QBs getting any game reps. This may be the sloppiest effort from any Stoops’ team.

 

[warrior-cat]

Wow.

Agreed

 

[ThunderMash]

Yippee! Another penalty!

 

[Fox2monk]

Another penalty. What!!

How is me predicting 9 and 3 throwing the season away?

I'm asking you as a neutral 3rd party. Hell, after today, I view that as me as a big ass sunshine pumper.

 

[bbncal02]

Make no mistake....if the penalties don't get cleaned up, we will be slaughtered in SEC play.

 

[katwest]

That has to drive coaches crazy, stupid penalties.

 

[JHannibalSmith]

Especially with them still having to be in the game with 5 minutes left against EKU. This game should’ve been put away by halftime with backups playing the majority of the 4th qtr. But, that doesn’t happen under Stoops. Absolutely ridiculous that we still need the starters to close out this team & take that risk.

 

[podgejeff_]

Less Jutahn, more Ramon please.

[kywildcat41035]

Glad to see Jefferson back out there running the ball

 

[Fox2monk]

This turf scares me. Lots of slipping in 2 games so far. Typical Stoops ending, take a knee.

 

[bbncal02]

Ok, game is over. Now it's time to take knees and not get injuries.

You're not covering. And scoring doesn't do much here.

 

[kywildcat41035]

Don’t sit on it. Score baby!!

Yea right MR Grind it out Stoops…

 

[CUJO_1970]

Freaking Stoops read the freaking room and put points on the board you goofball

 

[ThunderMash]

Definitely not a game I'm rewatching, but a win's a win. So much to improve on.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Um, wrong post I think?

No, the Sam guy says I'm not a real fan and am giving up because I think we may go 8 and 4 or 9 and 3. Was just asking if my prediction is giving up. I didn't think anyone actual thought this team might win more than 9.

I guess he thinks we are winning the SEC.

 

[bbncal02]

Well, just like Wk1. Meh.

 

[kywildcatsfannumber1]

Survive and advance. About all you can take away from a game like this.

 

[adam512003]

I hate this game. See yall next week

 

[podgejeff_]

I don't think he will ever care about margin of victory.

I think you quoted the wrong person, edit: I see your post above but it doesn’t show the original post so that’s why it looks weird.

 

[bbncal02]

Final From Kroger Field.

Colonels- 17
Cats- 28

Win is a win. But holy crap was that unnecessarily ugly.

 

[kywildcat41035]

2-0 but got to start playing better….

 

[ZenCatFan73]

2-0 yeah!!

 

[ZenCatFan73]

Yea right MR Grind it out Stoops…

Lol, yep, haha.

 

[cathouse]

Don’t sit on it. Score baby!!

Lol. As Stoops waddles off the field to have a glass of bourbon and a big stogie ( lit by a hunnert dolla bill).....

Calm down, my friend. I do not doubt your fan hood. I am only saying I think it’s silly to start assuming losses because we had a bad game against EKU. Tennessee is fighting with Austin Peay right now. It’s early, teams are learning and figuring things out.

In order to continue to improve, you have to have improved over your previous game. So you must think this game was a better performance than against BSt. I don't.
