That was a HUGE FAIL BY MARK STOOPS!!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!# DAMN RIGHT CROWD SHOULD BE BOOING !! LETS TAKE TIMEOUTS TO LOCKER ROOM!!!! THAT WAS FLAT OUT WEAK COACHING!!
Playing not to lose with a qb that only has 1 incompletion.
It's clear. The problem is the staff.

Stoops needs to grow a damn set of balls. thats all coaching folks
Our o line is very slow afoot.. maybe it's time to try Stallings or Stenberg or someone who can actually move their feet.
Then Stoops. That isn't winning football. Not against a team as solid as Mizzou.
Thought it was brilliant strategy. This is a chess match when you play Missouri. Yeah maybe we score 20% of the time there but what if you throw an interception or otherwise give them a short field with enough time to score? If we didn't get the ball first they'd be more aggressive but why risk it when you've got such poor field position? Not to mention the defense got an extra 5-6 minutes of rest. 2nd half is gonna be a classic I believe.
I think running out the clock was a huge mistake. Not saying we would have scored but we can't just lay down. Towles is finally having a good game and you just lay down. I don't get it.
Horrible decision to milk the clock. We have been moving the ball pretty well lately and instead we act like we are making a lot of mistakes and turning the ball over. Coach have you forgotten your offense hasn't done squat after the half pretty much every game so far? Should have tried to at least get into fg range. To much playing not to lose instead of playing to win.
I thought they shoulda tried at the end but to boo is stupid. And the same ones booing would really be booing if We turned it over with time on the clock.
no, thats gutless, losing football. you only get so many chances to score. a minute to go, and two time outs is an eternity
From the 50 it would be a 67 yard field goal. He ain't making that. I agree we should have probably tried to be more aggressive though.
Annnnnnd they wonder why they have a hard time filling the stadium........... Lose this one and stick a fork in fan support for the season. Again.
At least make it entertaining if you're going to lose.

Milking the clock was the right call. Mizzou was backing off keeping everything in front. you throw a couple of incompletions
and Mizzou with timeouts might get a chance with good field position.

How long you been watching UK football? I bet Joker would send his QB out throwing incomplete passes and then the other team runs a punt back for good field position and they end up scoring in the last seconds of the half. I've seen that movie too many times. I'll take the ball after halftime and take my chances.
Milking the clock was a great way to say you don't trust your team going into the half. They had 2 timeouts and a minute left. That is unacceptable. They are tied. It's different if UK is up 2 scores or something. Towles played the best he has, yet they are still tied. There is going to be some regression, go for the points while he has the hot hand.
had Timmons not caught the ball at the 1, might have been a different story.
Doesn't mean you have to punt.. Some short passes and let the playmakers run against that Prevent defense. You can still run the clock out.
