This isn't Kentucky football. Don't we have a punter?

 

[Anon668007]

Boommmmmm

 

[MidseasonTweak]

The decision making is just pristine right now.

 

[Pensacola_Cat_Fan]

Minchey for heisman

[MaysviileKY]

I know we are playing YSU but this is such a different vibe!

Last year this would have been a 10-7 game at half!

 

[BassProCat]

Dem Cats rolling!!!

 

[UKgrad22]

Some GREAT check downs so far.

Minchey looks so poised, just hope to continue to grow his confidence!

 

[Pensacola_Cat_Fan]

I know we are playing YSU but this is such a different vibe!

Even when we won with Stoops, it was horrible to watch.

 

[OliverSimmonsTwinBrother]

Let's score 60 inshallah!

 

[darkshadesofblue]

Looking crisp on offense so far. Don’t mean to sound spoiled but I hope we hang 60+

 

[TyCatPrice14]

See y'all in Atlanta for the title game.

Would be a dream come true for me!

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Even when we won with Stoops, it was horrible to watch.

Exactly! Was like watching paint dry! I LOVE this type of offense! It’s REFRESHING AF!

 

[RobEStacy]

Would like to see the field stretched. Not sure we have had a pass over 10 yards in the air... But the decision making is really good.. Seems we finally have a QB that can read defenses...

 

[Cats4321]

This has been an offensive clinic so far. Really impressed.

 

[ChicagoCat90]

It's only Youngstown St... It's only Youngstown St... it's only Youngstown St... But damn this looks way different than the last decade +

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Exactly. We would have left a win but with no excitement

 

[Pensacola_Cat_Fan]

How many blowouts did we have with Stoops in the first half?

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Looking crisp on offense so far. Don’t mean to sound spoiled but I hope we hang 60+

Would be an Oregon-esque thing to do

[Pensacola_Cat_Fan]

What's wrong with our corners? Are they expected to play next week?

First drive we had a big completion over the middle for 30-40 yards IIRC.

 

[RobEStacy]

Is Alex Afari playing..?

 

[Pensacola_Cat_Fan]

Is Alex Afari playing..?

Not yet. Maybe second half.

 

[UK4Life#9]

LFG!!

Where’s the people who said, “we can’t fire stoops, no good coach will want the job”

AI Overview


Jay Bateman is the defensive coordinator for the Kentucky Wildcats football team. [1]
Head coach Will Stein hired Bateman in December 2025. Bateman previously served as the defensive coordinator at Texas A&M during the 2024 and 2025 seasons. His coaching background also includes stints at Florida, North Carolina, Army, and Ball State.

Under Bateman, the Kentucky defense is shifting to a more aggressive scheme, with linebacker Grant Godfrey calling plays on the field.

I think we're being mean to YS. Bring back Stoops. He would never run the score up.

 

[OldScratchBlues]

Little concerned with our D.

 

[Pensacola_Cat_Fan]

Dline has only been so so.

 

[Starrcade]

Minchey seeing the field fast and making quick decisions.

We're going to be a problem !

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Where is the flag on that shitcan ramming our guy in the back

 

[Pensacola_Cat_Fan]

I think our D was told to keep everything in front of them today. This little QB is quick.

 

[Pensacola_Cat_Fan]

Nice to see some freshmen on the field (Wallace).

 

[OldScratchBlues]

Dline has only been so so.

Only thing I see that needs improving is the D line. But what a refreshing sight to watch the game and see we're not up 6-0 with 90 yards total offense in the first half.

 

[OldScratchBlues]

I think our D was told to keep everything in front of them today. This little QB is quick.

Could very well be true. That Bama qb is shifty as all get out too.

 

[UKortho]

Would it be 10-7 (UK) if Stoops was still the HC? What a difference.

 

[Cats_2010]

We are a well coached team. Loved seeing the player keeping his cool after getting pushed in the head which should have been flagged but wasn’t.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Would it be 10-7 (UK) if Stoops was still the HC? What a difference.

Whoa now. 13-7

 

[NineIsOnTheWay]

Just now got to turn the game on. I've missed most of the first half but 21-0 is what is expect to see in this game. Anything exciting I missed?

 

[OldScratchBlues]

Didn't like this series at all! Oooof.
But special team
