I could not believe when UK won the coin toss they selected to defer.

Why give UT the ball first and essentially an extra possession?

Can't think outside the box.
They were fortunate to get 205 yards.
That last drive was probably 55

I really think there are maybe five to ten teams in the country that have a decent chance of beating TN this year (baring us having a ton of penalties or turn overs). Kentucky isn’t one of those programs.

5 to 10 teams? 2 maybe 3. Might strike 1 off that list Saturday.

I find it interesting that Heupel used to stay at Stoops house when he was at Oklahoma. How do you think that after game conversation went?
Stoops - "great team you got there Josh"
Heupel - "sorry for making your team look bad but your brother fired me at OK and I am paying it back best I can"

based on how quickly the post-game handshake went, far fewer words were exchanged :).

He'll be in Iowa within 3 years, imo. Ferentz is running the worst offense in college football. Don't imagine he'll last much longer and then they'll come calling Stoops back home.

He had a look of doubt on his face the entire game. His team played like they lacked confidence

It was the same look Brian Kelly had at LSU. Saban had a similar uncomfortable appearance. I figured Saban was just constipated but it’s clear these guys get up tight playing Heupel’s offense

When? He sure as hell didn't catch much last night

Where has this narrative been created that he's a "good" coach?

Hes got 2 -10 win seasons at KENTUCKY so yea hes a decent coach. Its not like they got 5 stars lining up to play there. You gonna say Saban cant coach as well, since Heupel outcoached him too?

He was complaining one time that his team needed more time getting his players on/off the field. Guess he never heard of the hurry up offense? I predict teams like his will start faking injuries to slow down the fast pace.

He has coached at Kentucky since 2013. His record at Kentucky is 64-56 or 53%. He does have the most wins of any football coach at Kentucky. By that standard, he is decent.

Not only that, he plays ball control offense. That'll always get you spanked against the better teams. Tennessee will always own KY so long as he is there.

Yeah he is still playing that establish the run then do play action passes. Not the offense of today. Saban moved on from that because Kiffin showed him his style was better.

Tennessee had 12 possessions to UK's 11 since UT had the first possession and the last one also.

That's because they had possession at the end of both halves. If Tennessee has the ball first and Kentucky ends the 1st half with the ball. They both have 5 possessions. Kentucky then gets it first the second half and ends the game with the ball. They would have more possessions than Tennessee. Math it out on paper if you don't believe me.

Team A receives opening kickoff from Team B and Team A ends first half in possession of the ball giving them 1 more possession than Team B in the first half.

Team A is +1 in possessions at that point.

Team B receives opening second half kickoff and Team A ends game in possession of ball giving Team A and B have the same number of possessions in second half.

Adding the total possessions from 1st half to the total possessions from 2nd half yields one additional possession for Team A, an extra possession.

Receiving the opening kick doesn't guarantee an extra possession but it can and does happen.

I certainly hope that you aren't arguing that Team B isn't just as likely to have the extra possession.
