This is where other teams are watching saying number 12 Kentucky is losing at home, getting their hopes up. Too bad for them were about to turn it up.

Yeah let’s blame this on the defense when the offense has a whopping 14 yards. The defense is the only reason this isn’t 21-0. Special teams and offense have been an embarrassment so far.
That's a joke right? We've had 6 plays. Sure offense needs to wake up but the defense has to stop the other team too.

Held them to a field goal starting at their own 20. Time of possession was 18 minutes to 3 at the start of this drive. 30 plays to 6. So no, it’s not a joke. If everyone wants to cry and point their fingers it’s not on the defense. Nowhere did I say the defense was perfect. Just that the offense had been absolutely dreadful.

Defense has won every game this year. Offense has been putrid all season if we are being honest. Besides the third quarter at a@m its been terrible. And the first drive against lsu.

Who other than the defense has allowed the TOP and # of plays? The offense can be better. But they haven’t had many chances cause the D can’t get off the field.

When an Auburn team can take down Georgia between the hedges then turn around and get trucked, anything is possible this year.
But this here is mind boggling.

Okay bud, guess the offense having 14 yards 20 minutes into the game is the definition of success for you. The offense has been spectacular.

Also, now it’s my turn—is your comment a joke? You understand that the punting team is a separate unit, right? By definition, that is not the defense. Starting at your own 20 and holding to a field goal is textbook a positive result.

It was 18-3 because the defense couldn’t get off the field on 3rd and long
