Statistically, Georgia has 1 of the top rushing offenses in the country, and they have done what they did to us yesterday to everyone they have played except Auburn. Our defensive personnel are good enough now to cause problems for Vandy and South Carolina, but not good enough or deep enough to cause problems for Georgia. After 5 years of Stoops' recruiting, our defense is better than what he inherited from Joker, but not as good as it will be if Stoops can keep recruiting at a high level for another 5 years. Stoops just received another extension and is under contract for many years to come. Stoops is a 3-4 coach. So there will not be a 4-3, and that is a moot conversation as long as Stoops keeps recruiting big, fast outside linebackers like Josh Paschal, Jordan Wright, Xavier Peters.
Agreed. And it seems the opponent's ball carrier, no matter who, ALWAYS falls forward. Sure tackles are a weak point of these players.
This^^^^ I dont get letting them throw 5-8 yrds and make a tackle. I think Stoops is afraid of giving up anything deep. Unfortunatly it still happens
True that. I think most conceded this game last summer and given the history of the series the last 5 years a rout was certainly likely. Some days you're the windshield some days you're the bug.
The Pumper Club won’t address this question. It hurts their credibility.
Lol the wide tackle 6. Do you know how more awful our defense would be against modern day offenses with this ancient crap?
You began this thread by asking if we need to switch to a 4-3. You questioned our coaches, which is always easy to do after a loss. You are still asking rhetorical questions now. Yesterday, we were a 3 touchdown underdog on the road to the nation's #7 team. Our quarterback almost got killed yesterday. How, exactly, would you "compete better" against a ranked team with a huge home field advantage and a huge talent advantage?
These answers must come through recruiting. I said on another thread, and have been saying for the last 2 years, that lack of a consistent pass rush is what separates our football program now from SEC programs still ahead of us. You can't allow an SEC quarterback to stand in the pocket as long as he wants. It's why our secondary gets picked apart. It's why our defense gets gassed. And on the other end of the barrel, it's why SJ is getting beaten half to death.
I don't know what to make of Kash positive or negative...he's never played and even in spring drills he's not been a standout yet. I guess what makes me wonder if he'll be an improvement over Love is the staff moved Boogie to MLB...which does make you scratch your head as to why? It isn't like we have great depth at Jack LBer behind Ware.
Not that I am a pumper, but let me speak for pumpers everywhere. UK defeated those 2 teams, what damn difference does it make by how many? In 3 years people aren't going to look back and say, UK won 8, 9 whatever games, but just barely beat EKU. There ya go.
7 or 8 or 9 wins not good enough anymore at UK? I hope we haven't hit our ceiling but you have got your $400 worth
Well, sir or ma’am, the difference is that even against inferior opponents the defense played bad. Those things matter.
