UK - Iowa Music City Bowl Thread

Making fun of a college kid in his first start against a top tier defense says you probably only enjoy being negative.
"Kid."

He's an adult. If you can vote, go to the military, or be charged as an adult in a crime, you're an adult. Playing the "I'm just a kid" to shield criticism is weak.

Just sayin'
 
We recruited him to get his brother and are trying to keep them from transferring. Don't be a moron.
If that's the case then that seems like a flimsy excuse. I like Keaton Wade but he (Keaton) doesn't make the program.
7-6 .... a disappointing season, to say the least. I am so sick of pre-season hype to sell tickets. It's all a charade.
Yep. Not buying into any hype next year. Gonna have to prove it. Talk is cheap
 
Did we ever snap the ball in the red zone this game ?? What was our deepest penetration ??
 
Iowa definitely looked much better coached today. It's a shame to have a garbage game like this to have to be the last football for us for 8 months.

our defense, while not lights out, isn’t the reason we’ve lost this game.

I don't think anybody is blaming the defense for this loss. At least nobody with working eyes.

The only point I was making was don't have false hope that the defense put on this great performance. Stoops got Stoops'd by Ferentz who REALLY plays defense first, special teams second and offense if it works safely.

I agree. Keaten is a fine prospect but we owed it to the team and fans to try to win the game. Destin is not a QB. He is a smaller Joey Gatewood.
 
The merciful end to the disappointing 2022 UK season.

On a bright note, I can remember when this kind of year was a cause for celebration. Get Coen/Leary/Davis in here next year, hopefully improve the line/ST and see what happens.
Better hope Leary and Davis can stay healthy or it'll be more of what we saw today. No backup QB and no backup RB.

I would say that Stoops tries to emulate Ferentz, but KF has a lot more experience at it.
 
Opt out at QB and RB....OC was fired and the WR coach was calling plays.

I'll just leave it with: "We'll get'em next year"....especially with the returning WRs, QB from NCSU, RB from Vandy, and OC returning from his one year hitch at the Rams.

We now shift from Bowl season, to recruiting season (and portal season....and NIL season).

GBB!

Not really that surprised today except that we were shut out.

My angst with Coach Stoops was a lack of backup QB development and allowing his brainiac OC (that he just fired) to implement a NFL blocking scheme that college kids (including several new starters) couldn't run. There is a time when the Captain of the ship has to say "I have the con" and takes over.

Bottom line: We ran an OL that got our superman QB hurt (with bad pass blocking) and they couldn't run block worth a hoot either. You GOTTA do at least one well with your OL.

now you get to shift to Calipari season!
 
I'm serious about Wade. He will be a good QB for you guys going forward.

This Iowa D has done that to really good QBs all season long.

If we had an average offense we would be in the playoffs.

Coen is a plus. He should reevaluate the roster and get things sorted out.

Leary. Is he an upgrade over Levis?

Davis, I highly doubt he's better than CRod.

OL needs upgrades or massive improvements. STs as well.

Hope springs eternal, but 7 wins will be tough next year.
