It's almost like running by itself isn't enough. Like it's supposed to be a complement to some other part of running an offense.

Call me crazy but sometimes I feel like the defense has an advantage because if you run every single time they just assume you're going to run. I'm not a coach though. If it had worked I would've liked it.

At least this settles it. If we don't let Smith get reps against a putrid Vandy, he's either hurt or Stoops is intentionally trying to make me hate a great player.

But, but, but....the players in the locker room want LB. Can’t hurt their feelings

Tennessee did everything tonight they've done in all their losses this season.

They were just playing a team that wasn't equipped with the basic elements of a football team (A kicker who can hit consistently within the 10 yard line, a QB who can complete a pass.) Not luxuries... the basics. And without those basics, Tennessee's mistakes that have burned them all year just didn't matter.

I’m frustrated myself to be honest. This team knows how to run block and based on that we are playing to our strength, and not putting the defense in bad spots.

But you have to have some threat of a pass. You can tell my all day that to run EASY pass plays it’s only easy with a QB, but this guy can throw. I saw a quick slant completion and and roll out dart for about 10 yds.

I understand the point, and absolutely agree a passing option has to show up and believe we should have plays where at the least both players are on the field to “look” like Sawyer might end up at QB.

I get calling for SS, but I do not believe the decision is to not hurts the players feelings because they want Bowden.

It isn’t their fault SS looked like a total ***** and completely lost in back to back games causing the WHOLE team to give up hope.

That said the rest of our schedule will be subpar non SEC talent, and hopefully we will go back to Bowden at WR and SS at QB.

I’ve lost years on my life due to this stupid “rivalry”.

Best seats I've ever had for a UK football game, and all it really means is I got to watch them **** the bed up close and personal Huber-style. :weary:

That horse-collaring MFer EMU player can EAD and DIAF. We're 7-2 or 6-3 at worst if that **** doesn't happen.

We just don't have the killer mentality. We always give teams a shot at stealing it out from under us when we are clearly the better team. Hell, our 2 signature wins last year (Florida & Penn State) were games where we gave the other team a shot to win at the end. Thank God for having a National Defensive POY and our best secondary ever.

Sawyer Smith should have played some. Would've liked to have seen some jet sweeps and screens to mix it up and keep the defense remotely honest. Sometimes, playing so close to the vest can be a fault.

Field Club- some of the white-trashiest fans I have ever been around at a football game. Drunk dude in front of me with dip seeping down his chin trying to pick a fight with a guy 4 rows in front of him that would have annihilated him. People stuffing their pockets with ice cream and candy on their way out of the place. Guy asked my wife while I was at the bar if anyone was sitting next to her, and she replies "My husband" and he sits down there anyway.

And to all the "fans" who sold your tickets to an orange-clad ******* around me or anywhere in the lower bowl, F*** you, too. I hope you all choke on your K-Fund points.

At least we don't have to worry about hiring another football coach, I guess. Hooray.

* Eddie Gran is either the stupidest genius or the smartest idiot ever. He can concoct absolutely beautiful schemes with almost zero talent and change his approach on the fly if someone gets injured. And he can also do **** like we saw last night.

Lynn Bowden is a gamer and one tough son of a *****. But unless Sawyer Smith has polio, they should have split drives last night. Strokin was absolutely correct last night that there was no way we were going to score after halftime with such a one dimensional offense.

* Our secondary is surprisingly solid. It looked horrific going into the season but has been at least good all year.

* Why do we play AJ Rose? It sure as hell can't be one of those unseen coaching reasons that fans miss like he's really good at pass blocking. The next cut he makes will be the first.

* We threw for 25 yards last night. 25.

25.

In 2019.

<------- In the minority I guess, because I'm pretty GD happy with Stoops. It's ridiculous how competitive we are, given the graduations and injuries we've had this year.

Guess I've just seen more bad UK football than most on here. (Because I'm old as f***), and I KNOW how bad it can get, and STAY (for decade upon decade upon decade, upon...)





(Also, I don't watch the games much anymore.)
