We're just not that good.

[Hugh Sleeze]

I started to buy into the hype, but now that SEC play has started, it's pretty clear we're in the pretenders category. 7 - 5 is still a possibility, but all that talk about challenging Bama for the West is ridiculous.

 

[Philly Dawg]

We are losing 28-7 to a team we beat 45-7 last year. That isn’t just a case of us not being very good. It’s a case of the team not being prepared to play.

 

[kired]

But hey, at least we beat the hell out of 3 ****** teams.

 

[Hugh Sleeze]

Same as last year. If we rely on Fitz to win with his arm, we can't win.

 

[Shamoan]

I can't think of a loss that I could pin on coaching more than this one.

 

[Trojanbulldog19]

this is like two years ago. Dan tried to run the Dak senior year offense with Fitz. He couldn't do it and we went 6-7. I suspect the same if we keep trying to pass so much with Fitz and this line. line up, be tough, and run the other guy over. That's what Kentucky did to us. They didn't try to make it over complicated.

You have to go back to the Croom years to find a game that was coached as bad as this one. Even South Alabama wasn't this badly flopped. We made zero adjustments. Zero. This game was 10% Kentucky and 90% rat poison.

That one point win Mullen had over Bowling Green could be considered, but that was a win and BGSU won 10 games that year.

 

[KeyserSoze1999]

Yep. Like 20 returning starters from last year, 4 out of 5 OL guys who ran on Bama and LSU, same QB, same RBs, supposedly more talented WRs and lots of TEs...and one guy, one damn guy #41 derailed our whole damn offense?!

 

[Hankp22]

I'll say this

That was one of the worst coaching performances I have seen. I hope we learn and move forward. But that was concerning.

All the pre and post snap penalties are a true sign of a football team that lacks discipline. And our inability to adjust our protection on Josh Allen was laughable at best. Our team was not prepared to play and they got their *** beat. Lack of preparation is on the coaching staff.

That said, UK absolutely pushed us around at the LOS. They physically beat us. They were clearly the better football team tonight. Our coaching staff should be embarrassed at the performance.

 

[Dawgzilla]

South Alabama.

 

[saltslugs]

Yep. Couldn’t agree more. Kentucky looked really good and maybe we lose even with a reasonably good coaching performance. But, we made an inexcusable amount of pointless tactical and disciplinary errors.
