Got humbled. Hopefully it lights a fire to finish strong. Pathetic play tonight.
I wanted Stein to rip the headset off and Crawl on the refs @SS over some of the calls. Then show them all on sunday. We got punked for sure. But TN had a lot of help. Call it to the carpet. Expose them and help us next game.
That holding call on UK's first drive definitely changed the trajectory of the night. UK was in rhythm. No holding call and there's a good chance Kentucky scores, changing the complexion of the game from that point on. There was a second holding call on Kentucky the next drive that also didn't have a replay, but the commentators seemed to have seen it clearly and agreed. Maybe that one was bad too. That said, in the second half Tennessee had what I thought were two bad calls in a row in the second. The first, the Tennessee guy that caught the ball at the 1 and scored. That was a catch. Dude controlled the ball up to and after hitting the ground. Ball didn't come out until really late. I even disagree with the commentators. We also got away with a facemask on that play. Next play, KY interfered on the touchdown pass. Tennessee lost out on a score because of the refs just like KY did. Maybe you watched the game with an eye on the officiating more than I did, but most of the rest of the game besides those plays seemed fairly called to me.

We lost because of turnovers, no other reason. Minchey’s INT in the first quarter was one of his, If not the worst decision he has made all year. 2 big first downs erased from penalties. We had 5 holding calls, TN 1 which was negated with our only sack of the night. We outplayed them, 20 first downs to 14. They out gained us by a mere 28 yards and that was only due to out throwing in towel. We did the one thing tonight we haven’t done all year (since bama) beat ourselves.
I agree. It would have been a totally different game had the PI and a couple questionable holds not been called. Totally killed our drives. The turnovers compounded issues. The 4th quarter was embarrassing though.
I forgot the missed PI interference on one of our touchdown passes. Again though, officials missed a PI on us in the end zone in the second half so those two blown calls negate each other.
Worse thing that could have happened to Florida was us losing tonight.
Tennessee beat the crap out of us , physically and mentally. The officiating had little to do with it. They were just BETTER THAN US tonight.
Crowd showed tf up too. They understood the assignment.
Bingo. It was bama all over again. Sputtering O. D played great. Plenty well enough to win. I was skeptical of Bateman before the season but he's definitely doing well. Sloan...not so much.
Another big missed call was a clear push off by a ut wr on a deep ball. Just another in a long line of misses last night.
Come end of the year, lets hope some school hires sloan away. I saw he's tied to a few small school hc openings. We really need to upgrade that spot if we're going to the next level.
UK had 7 penalties for 50 yds and Tennessee 6 for 60yds. Refs didn't cost UK the game.
I recall the push off you are referring to. It was their first completed down field pass. TN WR had his left hand extended out the entire time the ball was in flight into our defenders shoulder pads and pushed off as the ball arrived. Also liked the commentator questioning the offensive PI call against TN when he flat out tackled our guy before the ball arrived. Every game seems like someone in the booth was pulled straight from our opponents fanbase.
Pass interference before halftime was a huge one. BS holding calls too. They got hosed in SC and bet your a$$ they were returning the favor
Final score and penalty yards would indicate otherwise but damn the timing of some of those taking points off the board and killing big first downs really felt insult and killed all momentum.
Refs killed our momentum and gave us a couple make up calls down the road. No, they didn’t cost us the game. Like I said, TN punked us. I’m not a blame the refs person. I want Stein to call out those BS calls so they curb them in the future. Or hopefully curb them. I only truly blame refs for one game and that was when we played UNC in the tournament (basketball). The year Monk, Fox, and Bam played. That was an absolute hose job.
Yep, but some here claim there is no n negativity directed toward UK. If you have watched UK football games for years but take the position of officiating never cost us games, doubt you’re a UK football fan. Don’t forget the #4 UT receiver throwing punches after a catch with absolutely no flags. I counted 3 punches before he got back to their huddle.
When the experts here saw the schedule and saw the team Stein put together any mention of 7 wins was considered sunshine pumping craziness. Now? Now we get to be critical of an offense or defense that has us at 7-2 with three games to go. It’s kind of like when those people who said Stoops could never win more than five games had to recalculate to “he can never win more than 7” and then to “he can never win 10.” I’ll take it. Good season!!
some bad play calls i hadn't seen all year stalled drives and the turnovers killed us. This makes me ill to say but UT is a very good team this year. Beating them at home was already a tall task but all the turnovers killed any chance we had.
Seemed to me like we didn't have any good quick hitters to slow the pass rushing and the ones we did were terribly executed.

You turn the ball over 3 times against a quality team and you ain’t winning. Mincheys interception in the end zone was just a terrible play call. Refs made some interesting calls, but that didn’t beat us. We held them to start the third quarter. The non call on Rodriguez was just a plain miss. Also I noticed the Tennessee receivers were holding and tugging on our defenders. That was an obvious attempt to get the flag. We did everything we hadn’t done since the Alabama game. I thought the O line play was poor as well. Get better, win out and we are right back in it. The fumble by Barnes killed any momentum we were trying to establish. We moved the ball on them. We just didn’t play a clean game.
Coach won't tell you this and I about to get totally slammed but.
We do not have the athletes needed to actually run the offense that is needed to be ran so there is a whole bunch of misdirection, for national alignment and a lot communication and stuff at the line that is done to even the playing field.
Aside from Darby there's not a Single true WR who would realistically play most places that are on the schedule.
A lot is done with the TEs and through communication and shifts that isn't exactly the easiest thing to do in a really loud environment. It can sometimes work out if you can keep the crowd somewhat hushed but when there's no reason for the hostile road environment to ever let up the issues compound.
Good news is this is the least talented that UK will be in football for the next several years. Get a few ole miss type game breaking WRs and everything changes.
