Juggernaut Kentucky Wildcats trailing EASTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY after the first quarter.


Edit: and EASTERN KENTUCKY UNIVERSITY making plays in second quarter

How in the world did the media "experts" pick UK to do well this season? Same old Kentucky. Struggled the whole game against USM. Behind EKU in the first half and getting outplayed.

Hilarious..... they are lining up and punching Ga.Tech in the mouth on defense. Making them win throwing the ball. Who in their right mind wouldn't make an option QB beat you with his arm? Shoop needs to dumb down things to himself. Just get back to playing fast and physical man.

UNC taking right to Louisville. Down 13-7 right now, but in the redzone.


NM...UNC just scored.

Are you going to do this the whole game?

Yeah until Ga.Tech starts running on them. 😂😂😂😂

Carry on then

Also a huge let down game for Gtech.

Agreed with Shoop. Let's just play fast and physical and let everything fall in place.

I agree with you.

Should have sold out to stop the run and make them play to their weakness. Take away their strength and put our CBs 1:1 and roll.

The fighting Mark Elder's came to play!

 

[BaldBiker]

Are you going to do this the whole game?

Probably....

I don't care what others think about that game. My opinion is that they played Defense worrying about injuries to the D-line (and can't say that that necessarily bothers me). I do believe they thought the offense would do more early, requiring GT to have to switch to the passing game. Offense picked up later in the game, but the first half lack of production by the Offense is what caused that game to look like it did.

Mark Elder team looking good. Offense has some nice formations.

 

[The Breakerboy]

I agree with you.

If the CBs can't play 1 on 1 with Ga.Tech WRs then they don't need to be at Tennessee.

 

[esands88]

Neiko Creamer (spelling) had a catch for EKU.

 

[Gilbert]

Coach Elder and the Colonels looking good!

 

[BaldBiker]

I agree with you.

You do that by scoring points early.....we didn't.

JMO, but no P5 school should ever play a triple option school, unless you have to (sorry ACC). There is not a lot to gain, but there is a lot to lose.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Lol at KY.

Chop blocking should be illegal as hell. They protect WRs but won't protect defenders knees. Ridiculous....

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

I'll agree with this one. BB, you have made plenty of great points about our defensive plan against GT. We all agree...it stunk, but can we just move on? Nothing is going to change. Let's see what we look like today, but more importantly, next Saturday.

 

[SpringBokVol]

UT Martin taking it to Ole Miss.

I'm sure UK will pull it out, but this is just more evidence of media hype gone haywire

 

[Ron Swanson]

But UK was picked to have a breakout year right?

 

[nashvol1]

Agree. Man up, block, and form tackle with head up. No head hunting and no taking out knees.

I don't know man, EKU looks like the better team on offense and defense. UK better get it together soon or this could get out of hand.

I agree. I really do think that formation of the DL was primarily due to concern about injuries on the DL. That is where the most damage was done last year and we don't have the depth to lose them again.
