***Cats vs Tide Game Thread***

[LineSkiCat14]

I missed whatever happened that didnt let Alabama get the ball back because my kid changed the channel and ran off with the remote lol.

Both teams with less than 150 yards in the half.
Is it great defense or poor offense ??

Both look pretty good on D imo, bama has a really good and fast secondary but we’re getting a lot of push from our d-line. I’ll take five sacks and a grounding every single day.

 

[megablue]

Overall ... a very impressive half by the Cats !!!

 

[NineIsOnTheWay]

Stein is the real deal. Even if we don’t win this game, it’s clear to me we hired the right guy.

I really really really hate to do this ..but can't you see he's clearly the guy? Vice versa when a guy isn't the guy? (Pope). I'm just saying.

 

[Im The Village Idiot]

Kentucky will have to play better in the second half to hold the lead. We can't expect Alabama to be that bad another half.

Wouldn’t you say a lot of that is because we made them look bad though? I thought we were disruptive.

Exactly. Bama will come put fired up. UK will have to match that.

I'll give you some of it.

I don’t know why that’s directed at me. I don’t even know how I feel about Pope, but this a football game thread and I don’t think Pope is relevant here at this time

 

[OldScratchBlues]

Why is Patterson on a milk carton since roughing up bama? I'm dumbfounded.

Bama LB clapped his hands trying to get our guys to jump, 5 yard penalty giving us first down

 

[3 Putts]

Eh. The timeout being called was a mistake, but getting the extra yards for a FG try with 2 seconds was perfection.

No way we could have gotten set up in time to spike the ball in recent years either.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

For people crying that we are being aggressive in the last 2 minutes, you guys are the same ones who were whining that we were not aggressive like this during stoops.

Because we are aggressive and Stein got the rule right, gave us an opportunity to score a TD but we got FG instead. By happy we are up 17-13. And that Stein is NIGHT and DAY from Stoops.

Geez some of you people.

Not a single damn person should have any complaints right now. A week ago we were all wondering if we could win 5 games. And we're now 2 quarters away from beating *Alabama* and being 2-0.

Barring a bad 2nd half blowout, UK needs to start thinking of how to keep Stein for the long haul. Its early, just two games, but I always got the sense that he just gets it. Just strikes me as a guy who is gonna build strong programs anywhere.

It wasn't directed at you. I said sorry for mentioning Pope in the football thread

 

[Beatle Bum]

Good job ESPN

 

[theBlues]

But Coach Pope won easy today...

Yep. Stoops would have floundered there with a half cocked jaw open in disbelief

 

[entropy13]

What happened to that Kumway kicker guy btw? Kauway? Am I making someone up? Stg there was a kicker named that.

I guess he's still dinged up? He was supposed to be back this week. Kauwe, BTW

 

[JakeKx]

We got the coach everyone thought Dan Lanning was.

 

[theBlues]

I liked having the nads to toss it into the end zone on first down.

 

[CrimsonCats_rivals]

We do need to clean a few things up. The interception was costly and we really hurt ourselves with penalties a couple of times. Feels like a 4 point lead is less than we should have after all the Alabama mistakes.

Overall, I do like how much aggression we’re playing with though. It definitely feels like a complete different mentality than what we’ve seen the past couple of years in games like this. Hopefully we can keep that kind of fire for the second half.

Totally agree

Agreed. I am very happy with Steins philosophy. Its basically Oregon Football Philosophy now in the SEC. The mere fact we are competitive right now is insane. And Oregon loosing to OK State shows how much Stein was missed on that coaching staff.

KM throwing our WR into double coverage by lofting the ball. Not good. Got lucky that was not an INT.

Said this way before the season ever began about Stein!

No argument on the execution of the play but I was talking about the coaching mentality of going for seven there with no timeouts and under 20 seconds.

 

[OldScratchBlues]

Somebody put an APB out for Patterson.

"Haven't seen him"....

 

[Anon520599]

FARRRR Pope and HARRRR Stein for hoops

 

[NineIsOnTheWay]

Feel a pick six coming for the D after half.

You really do have a mancrush, don't you? J/K

 

[jeffky]

So refreshing to have a vibrant young coach I have not seen a Kentucky team play this hard in a long long time go cats

 

[KyCPA2000]

Even with the a UK lead at the half, Bama has a 70 percent chance to win. Guess everyone is expecting Bama to come out fired up and blow UK away.

 

[Beatle Bum]

Has Afari played? Saw Wallace getting a number of snaps.

 

[3 Putts]

Yeah, he looked really good on his one series. Barnes is also back, wonder if we might see him in shirt down situations.

 

[OldScratchBlues]

Cute, but no... if you're gonna "feed the studs" Baxter has not been that stud against bama. Patterson has been more explosive.

Would not be fair to our opponents if he gets to play.

Love the call, just a poor throw. Stein was going for a kill shot .

 

[JimboBBN]

Baxter has had some nice plays so far but I agree about Patterson. I want to see them both get touches.

 

[JakeKx]

Now’s the time where we don’t need to just “hang on” we need to put them away.

Agreed. Gotta get the offense going but it’s been a good fight today.

3 and out for Bama. Our guys were all over their backfield.
