UK vs Murray State Game Thread

[FishersBlue]

UK with awful field position on their first two drives. Would like to see defense make a play here.

 

[Calsthebomb]

Why not throw it deep there? A pass behind the line that has no shot of going anywhere. Smart.

 

[Ineverplayedthegame]

Got behind the sticks on first down

 

[Calsthebomb]

Not much energy in the stadium today. Sucks having a noon game against an FCS opponent.

Their rarely is unless its florida or Tennessee.

 

[bigbluefattycat]

Like the play calling so far. Work on Terry's accuracy in the passing game. Get him more comfortable throwing. We know we can plow this team on the ground but Terry and the wrs need more time to get chemistry.

With ya man. Sometimes I just don't understand

 

[UKSanders]

That holding penalty hurt, but it was good to see Wilson throw a nice ball for the would-be first down.

I think the coaches are comfortable knowing this team can run the ball a ton to win the game. It's clear Gran wants to get Wilson more comfortable throwing the ball.

 

[fannin522]

our classic 3rd and long screen pass

Great minds think alike...

Great punt, WOW

My thoughts exactly. The offense can do anything they want today, so work on some things with our young QB. Just have to clean up the penalties.

Great coverage on that 3rd down by Jones. He's made two great plays in coverage already. Encouraging since that's an area he usually struggles in

 

[mdlUK.1]

Wow, fast 1st quarter.

Johnson had chemistry with CJ. Terry has a weapon that he hasn't utilized yet. Get them on the same page. They called his number early. Terry's eyes are not finding CJ yet in his read progression like they should or at least like Johnson did. Johnson was solid. Terry has more natural athletic ability.

 

[AR15CATWARRIOR]

We break it open this qtr and lay the Kill in the 3rd

 

[Ineverplayedthegame]

With the emphasis on directional and rugby style punting, why not go to dual returners to prevent the long roll?

 

[Blue63Madison]

Georgia is my second team, so I'm watching them too. They're doing what you're supposed to do against an inferior opponent. All business, no penalties, just getting the job done.

 

[STL_Cat]

Bowden dances around too much.

 

[Calsthebomb]

So much for the starters getting some extended rest.

 

[FishersBlue]

Bad drive there. Cats playing bored

 

[uofkFTW18]

Honestly both Watkins and Price have been abysmal in pass protection at LT up to this point

 

[mrschwump]

OL not up to par so far.

 

[Calsthebomb]

Goodness

 

[UKWildcats#8]

Well at least the field goal is right down the middle

 

[AR15CATWARRIOR]

Bowden should of cut that up field and he would of had a 7-8 yard gain then who knows what else with his speed and shiftiness.

 

[USSLair]

10-0 not the greatest

 

[reflaine]

With the emphasis on directional and rugby style punting, why not go to dual returners to prevent the long roll?

Because you make yourself very open to fakes. Then your playing 11-9 near LOS

 

[uofkFTW18]

OL not up to par so far.

They've been fine outside of LT. Watkins/Price are struggling mightily in pass protection at the moment which is surprising considering how well they held up against Florida

 

[UKSanders]

So much for the starters getting some extended rest.

Did you expect them to sit after the 1st quarter? There is still a lot of time for them to get rest.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

We kicked a field goal. Yes

 

[Kampus Korner]

Cats’ look predictably flat against a team they are favored to beat by 41 points. Not many fans in attendance.

 

[FishersBlue]

Need to get more explosive pass plays downfield. Hard with OL struggling. Avoiding 3rd and 23 and 3rd and 18 might hep

 

[Bkocats]

they do seem bored
Crowd is quiet
let down game
no worries about losing, does look like some new things are being tried
Benny would run all over these guys if allowed

I don't think the O is especially flat, but the play calling is wisely designed to work on green passing game.

The defense hasn't been terrible, either.

 

[FishersBlue]

MSU slowing it down. Need a turnover

 

[UKSanders]

I would like to see the OL and DL dominate a little more than they have thus far...

 

[UKWildcats#8]

MSU slowing it down. Need a turnover

Msu only goal is to not lose by 40

 

[FishersBlue]

That was a nice pass. No pressure from our front 4

 

[KyCatFan]

Defense is playing soft against them. Like they don't want to hit anyone.

 

[UKSanders]

Westry with a STUPID pass interference...

he HAS to be smarter than that.
