Hadn't seen a Fleck presser until tonight.
I lost it when he described the team all writing on pieces of coal and turning them "into this diamond right here". And holding up the glass or whatever. 😂😂

Not even sure Jones would have gone that far. Dude's a trip.

I know there is agreement that the second half the adjustments on D worked. Well - somewhat. They allowed UK to control the ball and reduced our possessions on O the entire game by playing bend, don't break. It all worked out because of Chaney, JG and the receivers refused to lose and got going in the third Q. The players on D were trying, the scheme was bent. Gran kept running to the offside and the officials allowed the OT to hold the DE the entire game. To beat that you need to be in man coverage outside because you are not going against a real QB. That would leave 7-8 in the box every play. Much of the time our DC and HC had a nickel package on the field with 6 and less in the box. That failed miserably IMO. It was nearly death by a thousand cuts. Thankfully on the last goal line series the DC had no other options and UK played their O straight up instead of using misdirection and counters.

In essence, the defensive players compensated for the coaches in the second half last night.

JG got shaky again in the 4th quarter, started throwing late. Don't get why he's so inconsistent every game. Hope he heals with the off weak and has a good finish to the season.

You can’t play man against an option. Wtf you talking about. One missed tackle on the outside would result in a Touchdown. Hence why we played zone so that we would have a defender in the area if the outside wasn’t contained. All of their big gains before the half were while we were in man to man.

Nope They were not going against a real QB. Rewatch the success when they ran man and had 7 in the box with Warrior over top. You don't play press, you play soft man.
