We haven't scored a TD in 6 quarters. With the WRs and RBs we have.

The offense short of our RBs let our defense down tonight. All offense jobs should be reevaluated on Monday. QB needs to be changed. Towles was awful once again. For god sake New Mexico state played better on offense than we did. And there were plays to be made but we are dropping passes and our QB is throwing the ball 6 feet over the head of a 6'6" receiver. Pathetic.
 
This offense is more predictable than Joker's offense. And, like Joker, these coaches are reluctant, or unable to make any positive game time changes. Damn I feel frustrated!!!
 
when did Stoops hire Joker and Sanders? I thought we had an offensive wiz from West Va or somewhere. This is truly amazing.
 
OL can't protect, QB Can't accurately throw...and if those two things actually miraculously happen, then the receiver can't catch. All three taking place is the equivalent to the stars aligning.
 
The question is, when will we score another offensive TD?
 
EKU, Missouri's defense isn't much of a drop off if any from Florida's defense.

You're kidding, right? lol.
Mizzou's secondary isn't even close to being as good as Florida's. Their d-line is alright, but not anywhere near as deep as Florida's, which matters a lot.
 
We are in a pickle.

We knew coming into the season that our O-Line would not be great. Therefore, you need a QB who can compensate for a bad O-Line by thinking quick on his feet and making things happen with pocket presence.

We don't have that QB.
 
Amazing isn't it how fast we've gone from thinking our offense would be great, and our D the problem to where we find ourselves this morning? Going into this game with the weapons our O seemed to have, if you'd told me UK will only allow Florida 14 points I'd have said let's start the victory celebration now. Sure they're a good team, but I thought we could put up more than 9 points on them. I swear, I think this streak is becoming a curse.
 
Barker should get some reps with the1st unit this week and some snaps in next week's game
 
Do you risk losing the season due to bad QB play, OL and Play calling issues aside. Do you go into locker room and look at Defense and other players and say we are going to ride Pat. Is Barker that far away or Pat that much further ahead. QB is one of 11, don't care about his confidence or hurting his feelings. If a WR makes a play in 1st quarter and the QB play was a little better than UK wins that game by a TD, Dawson's play calling on goal line was bad. Everyone is giving Fl. way too much credit, hell OLe Miss QB was a JC transfer, Patrick has been in this program for 4 years. He is same QB that he was his frosh year.

There is a fundamental lack of faith in the QB position from the coaching staff. I said after SC last week. The coaches are afraid to put the ball in the QB's hands and any team with a shred of film can see it. This goes back to last year and now it's two different OC's who have the same thinking. Of course it isn't all on Towles thanks to drops and bad OL play but for all the hard line Towles supporters ask yourself this one question. If the coaching staff doesn't have faith in the QB then how does the players? This could be the reason for some of the drops and some of the poor OL play. Confidence can make a world's difference.

I can't tell you if Barker is the answer. My guess is no, or we would of seen him at one point in this season already but if Towles goes into or stays in this funk, it can't hurt any worse to throw the kid out there for a series to see what happens
 
Here is what I don't get. In the preseason we were told it was very close between Towles and Barker and now when Towles looks terrible we are supposed to believe that there is huge gap.
 
You're kidding, right? lol.
Mizzou's secondary isn't even close to being as good as Florida's. Their d-line is alright, but not anywhere near as deep as Florida's, which matters a lot.

Good, then that will be a great place for Barker to get started. You've been very helpful. Thanks.
 
EXCELLENT POINT!

We have way too much talent out there to have ZERO TOUCHDOWNS IN SIX QUARTERS.

IMO, the offensive play calling has been the worst I've seen since JOKER PHILLIPS called our plays. DAWSON is 'in way over his head'.... somebody needs to get him some help...or get UK FOOTBALL some Offensive help.
