We better see holding on KY in the second half or we better see major adjustments on defense to not give this kid time to throw into our Jr High Jv secondary....

If Heup had not run it up the middle the first two downs on the last drive like he was giving up to go to half, we would have had time left to get it in the endzone... Change my mind...

Heupel’s management of the clock on the drive wasn’t the problem. He actually managed it very well. The problem was the clock operator took three seconds away from us, taking away any chance of taking a shot at the end zone.

Go back and watch last year with Hooker, Heupel doesnt run the clock down on that third down play. He was planning on *****ing it down until we got a first.

Plays take an average of 6 seconds. You’re playing with fire if you run a play there. All it takes is one hiccup for you to not even get a chance at a field goal. It was clearly the right decision to kick it there, especially considering we get the ball to start the second half.

Dang UK's first drive was so short I thought they got the ball to start the 2nd. Awesome.

Hate we had to kick a field goal. But if we hurry up and go three and out everyone would be bitching about giving them too much time with 3 timeouts when our defense has been **** tonight.

Yeah pretty obvious what the plan was there especially with Kentucky having their timeouts too. Got points to end the half and get second half kickoff

Heup started our last drive with the intent to give up and go to half, no one can argue otherwise... you don't take your time and run it up the middle twice and run the clock... This is NOT the type of coaching we should be seeing on the road against a rival.

We got the one throw and call and then all of a sudden he wanted to get points. That's not the mentality I want my coach to have, sorry...

Not really. 7 seconds is more than enough time to run one more play with another time out left.

It has to be absolutely maddening to the staff how inconsistent Joe is. He can look like a world beater one drive then completely lost the next. How do you build a game plan around that?

I like him moving and be a threat to run. Gives receivers time to break off and utilize him more. The run threat is there just have to have the accuracy but he looked good there. The no catch by Keyton was a rope and spot on

Bottom line is would YOU trust Joe Milton not to run around for 8 seconds trying to make something happen on a broken play? I know I would not. His awareness is not on his list of assets. No way you take that chance right there. 9 or 10 seconds is probably where it would be worth the chance.

Highly disagree. One mishap is all it would have taken for the play to take more time than expected and then you get no points. Would have been a boneheaded move of epic proportions. Take the points, get the ball to start the second half.
