We've cussed and discussed UK's QB situation to death. To me another dire situation is UK's run D. Two straight games UK's given up 100+ yards to 2 of opponent's backs. Teams are averaging 5 yards a pop on the ground. We all knew the D would be sorely tested his year but this is worse than we thought. Good backs, plus UGA's massive OL and great runners are on the horizon.
The DL was thought to be a strength and indeed Taylor's playing well but the others seem to be dragging. I think a lot of the problem with stopping the run is with UK's LBs. Still wonder if Paschal isn't getting worn down. Wright's made a few plays and is going to be really good but right now needs strength. Oats, J Davis and Square are actually undersized for SEC LBs. Daniel gets sucked in to too many plays and gets out of position. Watson was challenged by Stoops to perform at a higher level pre-SCAR and made a few nice plays has been a disappointment. Maybe XP will eventually. White(Outside) and Sumrall(inside) are the coaches, they need to pick it up because their guys are getting trampled. Then there's UK's slap and tickle tackling technique. What say you?
Anyway, if we don't start seeing significant improvement from the UK D re opponent's running game the UK QB situation isn't going to really matter.
