I do like how he acknowledged we got our choice between the two and Florida could settle for whomever we passed on. It's good to see that kind acceptance of the new order of things in the East.
I'm trying to decide how much of the offensive ineptitude has been underperformance and how much has been save a significant portion of the playbook until after game 4, when we start playing better competition. I guess we'll get some insight into that on Saturday.
Fair enough on the we'll see who's better when we play stance, but we played that same set of backs "in the swamp at nite and that place was rockin" last year and we still beat them, with a top 5 NFL draft pick playing QB instead of Mertz. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I don't disagree with much of what you said other than I bet there's not that big of a talent gap between UT's WR corps and ours.
This is the answer right here. I make no predictions on the winner, but there will be a lot of kicks in this game and it will be a low scoring affair.
Kentucky: unranked Louisville: #9 *Checks scores from last two times these teams played* Seems legit. ???
This is the way. It's so obvious, how have we not seen it before? Checkmate, atheists.
My man Will Levis gettin' totally snubbed after a dominating performance. He owned that game from start to finish.
"Stomped" is a bit of an exaggeration, but it's the kind of hyperbole I'd expect from a UT fan. You guys thumped a couple of his earliest teams when he inherited a roster full of garbage from Joker Phillips. You haven't "stomped" a Marks Stoops team since 2015, which was the year before he turned things around, with the possible exception of the 10 win UK team in 2018. I have no idea why that team played so poorly against a horrible Jeremy Pruitt, but they did. Your last two wins against UK were the result a huge goal line stand against Lynn Bowden by your D and a game that 100% was a coin toss this year because neither of our teams could play any defense at all. But you can keep cheapening your own wins against a good team if you want. I don't know what that accomplishes for you, but here you are right now back-handedly trying to provoke the fans of a horrible Florida team that boat-raced you earlier this year, so it's not like anything else you've typed tracks either.
I'll never get Florida fans. Look at all these folks on here acting like Mark Stoops is so far beneath them. Yeah, y'all are way too "good" for him. But not too good for Dan Mullen.....or Jim McElwain.....or Will Muschamp.....or Ron Zook. Y'all act like beating UK is some god-given right because you're Florida. OK, if we take that at face value then you should be champing at the bit to snatch up a guy who is 2-2 against your amazing program that's just so far ahead of his, with several close calls in the seasons before that. Which is it?
Well that works out great, because we don't want you to have him.
Car design is terrible under the hood nowadays anyway. It takes an hour and a half worth of work to get to a thirty minute job. Cars aren't designed to be worked on at home under a shade tree anymore and labor'll kill your wallet for more often than the part itself.
It's tough when you hire someone and they don't make a conference championship contender overnight. Or, you know, just pick a good coach and give them the actual time and patience they need to make real change in your program. But don't listen to us, what do we know?
It’s Daniel’s last game, not Davis’. Daniels was to whom the authors was referring when he made that statement. The sentence is worded a little awkwardly, but is grammatically correct. Still threw me off for a minute as well.
That's one of the things that makes it tougher for a team like UK to build a program....we don't have a wealth of HS talent in-state like most SEC schools. That's a far bigger cross to bear than "being a basketball school", which is mostly just a BS talking point for fans and crappy broadcasters. Ohio St., Michigan, Florida, Texas, and plenty of other schools have been successful at both sports. The difference is schools like that are in populated states with much better HS football scenes. Which is why Stoops was such a sneaky good hire from a recruiting standpoint....tons of connections in Ohio and the Rust Belt, so if you're a good recruit there come play in the SEC school right next door and all your friends and family can still come to home games easily. He's had some learning experiences as an HC, but after a few years in that role he really came into his own last year (and the year before to lesser extent) as well. Stoops is a really solid, good HC - I hope we can keep him in Lexington.
Big Matt has been really disappointing, unfortunately. Maybe he can pull it together and have a big senior year, but I won't hold my breath.
Not Jerry Tipton is frigging hilarious if you follow UK sports.
Stoops is making some things happen in Lexington. If he can get his coordinators/assistants lined out and gets enough time right the ship, he will start winning some bigger games with all of these prospects.
This list is total garbage. We deserve low marks for performance, but anyone who has ever been to Lexington in the fall and pulled the Keeneland/UK football game doubleheader will testify that '238' for 'fan experience' is a not just joke, but frigging ridiculous.
He already abandoned the Cats as a player when some new blood came in to push him as an RB, so it makes sense that he would do the exact same thing when it happens as a coach.
It's not like you powered your way to some dominant win in a statement game. This was anyone's ballgame, right down to the last series. I'd imagine they'd say, 'We weren't far off, and if not for one or two different breaks we would have been spot on. Get used to this game being a dog fight, in case you haven't learned anything the past two years.
Oh, Please. You're talking about the difference in pulling 1-2 upsets as opposed to a truly horrible team winning 6 games, 2 of which would have to be SEC games. Teams get upset all the time....besides by the second half of the season starts to shake out, some of these games might not be the 'upsets' we think they are at the beginning of the year.
No kidding....this QB competition is a competition only in name. Towles started well last year and then took some lumps and had a bit of a learning curve once he encountered the big boys in conference play, but he looked very good in spots for a RS Soph and very bad in others...exactly what you'd expect from a first year starter on a bad, but noticeably improved, team. The goal would be to make another jump and try to work toward 6-8 wins. Not saying that will happen, but that's got to be your goal, if you're Stoops, and it is certainly possible. Barker is RS Frosh with off the field issues who has natural talent but is nowhere near ready to take over, whereas by all accounts Towles busted his butt in the off-season to keep improving. The O line will improve with experience. These guys likely won't become instantly great, but they've had a season's worth of games now, and another year to get bigger/better. I think it's funny that he lists the secondary as an area of strength. The safeties are pretty good (especially Stamps), but our corners got routinely burned, and unlike the O line, the secondary is generally a position where you don't improve as quickly if you don't have the talent to start with. Tiller and Quinn will hopefully be better, but I bet dollars to donuts the corners won't be nearly as improved as the O line this year.
Stamps is a beast. He could end up being the best safety in the league.
