The 2nd half was the issue. We did fine in the first. I trust this staff will learn from this game and be able to make better adjustments in future games. Bama defense will be the best this team plays all year. Tough task for a 2nd game but they held their own nearly 3 quarters. Future is bright for KY football.

Can't lie. I was very disappointed. I did not anticipate struggling on offense to that degree. I didn't think we'd win, but I was hoping we'd be in the ballpark of the spread.

For some reason, some on here view disappointment over this game as an unrealistic emotion and proof of troll behavior. SMH.

Let's hope we improve...a lot.

Defense got gassed. Offense couldn't get a 1st down to save its life in the 2nd half.

I didn’t think we did much better in the first half honestly. Bama gifted us quite a bit and we really didn’t capitalize much.

Stoops is not the coach any longer. Stien owns the team now. I only hope Stein can improve UK FB as much as Stoops did during his career.
That’s funny right there. Stoops leaves the cupboard bare and you’re hoping Stein can do as good as him.

I was however surprised by the wide receivers being nonexistent so far. There is talent but they were completely outmatched by the coverage.

This. We scored one offensive td and it was generated by the defense too.

I knew minchey might see ghosts early but i thought hed be in the game by half. I was wrong. Plus schematically the coaches didn't adjust to the consistent overloads.

Then throw in the extremely dumb fake punt attempt.

Minchey will get there but its going to take the first part of the season at least. I don't expect our trip to college station as his first road game will go well either, so we will be on struggle bus there too.

Disappointed all around with the qb and offensive staff.

That's the thing. Unless we dump much more money into football than we have been, that just is not going to happen. The teams ahead of us are increasing their budgets as well so UK is going to have a hard time catching up.

We effectively played with 9 on offense. Our WRs had zero impact on the game and were completely taken away by Alabama.

Their DBs were on our guys like smell on a hog. No separation on anything more than 4 yards down field. When our line got worn down, the minor running threat we posed disappeared.

This. Alabama was just way better than us at this point. They may be sneaky good this year. They are mentioned in the next group of teams in the SEC this year but they may actually be in the Texas, UGA and LSU class.
