Ok but that has nothing to do with 130th in pass defense. They have had a descent schedule but they have also played 3 CCs. Gave up nearly 320 yds passing to UT Martin today.
A lot of these stats have to be tempered with the different styles of play. Kentucky is the slowest paced offense in the league. They run the play clock down to single digits on almost every snap, and run the ball a lot to burn clock. On defense we play mostly a cover 3 keeping everything in front so opponents drives tend to be lengthy with very few chunk yardage plays. OTOH UT is a racehorse. They run tempo the whole game. They score quick which puts their defense back on the field quickly and puts more stress on them. Considering all that it isn't surprising what you see in offensive production for UT and defensive production for UK. But in reality UK is better on offense than they look and UT is better on defense than they look.
Present! We are frightened!
You know it is all part of the game. In the end no one gives a damn about anything except the final score. Tennessee does have hooker and we did not have Levis; it’s like well if so-and-so had not fumbled, if so-and-so hadn’t thrown an interception or missed a tackle. It’s all part of it. Our offensive line sucks in regard to pass protection that is why our quarterback is hurt. Bryce Young is a houdini…. oh and he passed UT silly, but they beat the crap out of him. Better pray Levis doesn’t get hurt more than he is—-He cannot pass on his back
UK has played 3 Top 25 teams. And 4 if you now count South Carolina since they are 25th in new poll.
They really don’t. Teams attempt a lot more passes because Tennessee gets out to a lead and their rush defense is so good, teams are forced to pass it.
And they cant stop it. #130 in pass defense says you are wrong. If they cant stop it then do it!
Luckily we get to play the worst defense in the SEC to boost our numbers a bit this week. Tennessee allowing 32 ppg in conference play.
We barely broke 30 on Miami, Youngstown St and N Illinois. Our OC and OL coach have been huge busts so far. I don't expect that we'll break 30 on UT because we can't pass block and UT is good against the run. Hope I'm wrong.
UT isn't good against the run, they're just so bad against the pass that teams don't run it on them. Stop being a negative nancy, Tennessee is quite literally one of the worst defenses in the country.
I’m not being negative I’m being a realist. Our offense looks poorly coached and struggled to move the ball on even lowly YSU. UT’s defense is on the field a lot because their offense scores so fast so their numbers are probably skewed. I’m just not confident in Skank and we usually play like doggy doo after a bye. Again, I hope I’m wrong.
We are 4-3 after a bye our last 7 games. Think positive.
You are the kiss of death
Lol..all of you thought you could even play on the same field as us..how's your number draft pick this evening? Tell Matt Jones to keep talking
If you've watched our games this year, this wasn't hard to predict. Our O is a complete disaster and it's not a personnel issue. We have plenty of talent. This is all about a lack of coaching and terrible schemes.
Nailed it.UK only giving up 295 yds per game
UT getting gashed to the tune of 425 yds per game.
Herein lies the rub and herein is why Kentucky is going down there next weekend and beatin that ass:

Furthermore, UT ranks #129 in pass defense giving up a whopping 332 ypg!
Levis will have a field day v these clowns!
So what you got to say now mr “I guarantee UK will win”? Your pre game posts were all revealed to be the boasts of an uninformed poseurderiguer from UK
Lol. Soft? He ran for almost 5 ypc. You didn't shut him down..our OLine is soft.
You're not very good at math apparently. Plus we knocked his ass out of the game 😂
