Blake Bone
- Thread starter Mr Schwump
- Start date
He played but nothing thrown his way. There was one play in first quarter I believe where had one-on-one with their shortest DB to the wide side of the field and a pass play was called but barker was rushed to the right side and never got a chance to look back left.
He was wasted this year. Hardly nothing thrown his way.

Herrick was a senior. To me Bone seemed to have a difficult time getting separation. Needs to work on his strength.
Yeah I saw that series in the first quarter when he had about a foot on the CB matched up man on him...
summed up our season perfectly...
clear mismatch and great opportunity for a big gain if not score...and couldn't draw anything up to exploit it...
every other coach exploits that all day long until it's stopped...
there is absolutely nothing that CB could have done
I don't know why Bone wasn't used more...especially in the redzone...dude is 6'6

This is the dumbest move I've seen by the coaching staff. Why you wouldn't use a stud like Bone after Baker proves he can't catch the ball is beyond me.......So effing stupid it makes me sick.
If Bone transfers, I'll never forgive Stoops for this one.

I missed Bone's stud-like performances....in which game(s) did those occur? I recall a nice play on a Towles scramble vs somebody but Bone largely underperformed due mainly to his inability to get open.
He made some really nice plays last year if I'm not mistaken. He just continues to see less action which is typical of Stoops inability to coach above the high school level.
All that needs to be said is there were a lot of players who played much better last year...even when we collapsed in the last half of the season,Neal browns offense was much better.. We played great offensively in the fl and GA an MS games. Looked awful in the mizz an TN game. Don't remember a single game that the offense was great or even good for 4 quarters this year..
That was with a load of freshman playing.I really believe last years ten wins 7 or more games with this years schedule. This is the main reason that I think stoops "MUST" change OC..

Can't believe that so many of our posters are this clueless. When you are 6'6" and the d-back is 5'11" you are already "open". Some of you act like a WR has to get 5 yards of separation before you can throw them the ball. Anyone who saw B Bone perform in the camps against the top competition in the nation know that this kid can catch the ball in heavy traffic over just about any 6 footer you want to put him against. Bone should have been running routes over the middle of the field to utilize his pass catching ability. Someone on this staff is also clueless on how to create mismatches and take advantage of those mismatches. Middle school coaching.
I don't remember even one pass that thrown high enough for him to use this advantage . Seems like he was always having to dive to the ground to make the catch .
Knew that about Herrick I don't know why I included him... I would sure like to know the percentage of dropped passes vs bad passes thrown the receivers this year
Badet consistently ran by the coverage. Ball would ALWAYS be under thrown, negating his speed advantage. Passes to Bone were thrown at his feet, negating his height advantage. Juice was laid out to be killed by poorly thrown passes. See any pattern here? This group of wide outs would excel with a qb who. Could get them the ball in the right position at the right time. We did not have that this year.
Bone was one of UK's WRs who underperformed this season. We can argue until the cows come home as to why they underperformed. Blame the coaches, in all likelihood it's going to cost Mainord his job, but a little effort by the player would be nice too.
Coaches need to go back and study the Missouri receivers when we played Missouri at Commonwealth. They used their height to beat us. I thought that was why we recruited tall receivers.
OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!
Bone has the length, but if he and Mikel Horton had a foot race nobody would win. Runnin in concrete shoes !
Agreed. Not that its an excuse for the lack of effort at times. But these WRs couldnt help that UK QB's couldnt get them the ball accurately and/or on time.
Bone caught 20 out of 25 balls thrown his way this year. 80% of the passes thrown his way were completed. How much separation do you need when you are a half a foot taller and a much longer
wingspan than they guys trying to check you?
I guess you didn't see him making great catches his Frosh year. It's incredible our incompetent staff wasn't using him more this season. Disgusts me.
I did not know about that stat. That's actually outstanding, since only 55% of our passes all year were caught, if that. Granted, some of the throws to Bone were more high percentage type passes, but still.
We need to hope like hell he stays here and we need to find a way to make him a bigger part of the offense.
