Allow me to sum up my feelings ... I am disappointed we lost even though I expected to lose but was hoping for another miracle game like against Miami. I think the offensive line played a horrible game. They were simply outmatched by superior players. I am concerned if CBJ can fix this problem with the current players he has. My guess is recruiting good offensive lineman is going to have to occur. Time will tell. Croom needs to improve his techniques, so much talent but he needs to improve on the basic skills.
With the above said, I could not be more proud of a football team than I was last night. So many positives I can not cover them all. Worley played like a warrior despite the line problems and showed class in his post game interview! A true leader Worley has become. Sutton is a STUD, period! The defense, as a group really surprised me even though they were inexperienced and greatly undersized compared to Oklahoma. Hurd seemed to hit the hole a little quicker despite very few "holes." Pig plays like a receiver twice his size! Last but not least my hat off to the ENTIRE COACHING STAFF! Team ATTITUDE is at CHAMPIONSHIP LEVEL. Just think about our attitude now and the team a few short years ago, Kentucky need I say more.
Bottom line I am more and more convinced CBJ is building something special but it will take more time (probably about two more years). Good news is these freshman will get the opportunity to experience something special in Big Orange Country!!! The fans need to to sit back, relax, and cheer on these players! Enjoy every minute of it!
