Louisville put 8 to 9 in the box trying to keep us from running the ball down their throats so we just went over the top. They took a risk and forced Kentucky to break its tendencies and lost big.
It's a strategy that I would have probably used as well.
Our passing game had been inconsistent through the season. Early we were (I'm generalizing here) passing inaccurately. Then as Johnson (and very importantly -- our offensive line) progressed our receivers were dropping critical passes. The dropped pass against UGA (and fumble/interception) was one of the most critical negative plays of our season.
While that was going on, our running game was breaking records.
Fortunately for us, Stephen Johnson just kept getting better...and finally against UofL our receivers made the catches.
