I'm not giving the team a free pass, but I think Stoops explained what happened early....The defense was over-pursuing trying to make the spectacular play instead of doing their job and staying home. All the big runs were primarily cut backs and the D had no one on the back side. As for the pick 6...That was a very bad play by a very rusty QB. The DBs made some plays early or it could have been an ugly game. But other than the 1st quarter, UK basically did what they were supposed to do.

The responses in this (and several other) thread just show that no matter what happens, there will be some on here who will call for Stoops and Barnhart to be fired.

At the beginning of the year many were just wanting to go to a bowl game. Now that's happening, after going .500 in the SEC, all with a QB who was never supposed to see the field this year and after losing several key pieces to our defense. After the Southern Miss/Florida debacles, the team changed things up and got better. We beat everyone we were supposed to beat, upset two teams (according to Vegas odds) and lost to two teams with noticeably better talent than us. One of those two games we lost due to a horrible fumble and an even worse dropped TD that turned into an IT. Neither of those botches are on the coaches.

So again, if all you can take out of getting our sixth win is that we need to fire the head coach, you should probably just go find another team to root for. UK football will never make you happy.

The players on this team are undisciplined and have zero respect for this coaching staff
Did anyone see the very heated exchange between Brumbaugh and Pringle and several of the OL guys...Middleton(99) even got up to walk away mad and Ware tried to restrain and he pushed him away. Not good!!

That first quarter was embarrassing, but I'm not mad at Stoops for it. He learned from it. Play your starters at the beginning, build a lead, and set their arses on the bench. When you put your 2nd and 3rd team on the field at the start, you're telling your team that this is a glorified practice.

Not a lesson an SEC coach should be learning on the job. You learn this type of thing coaching in a Pop Warner league.

Makes me nervous about other basic "lessons" not learned yet.

This thread represents the worst of U.K. football fans. The sheer stupidity of the anti Stoops people is mind boggling. It's amazing that some of you eat biters are able to function enough to even post.

Saban must suck as a motivator at these games as well. Alabama was down 3-0 after the first quarter Saturday before rallying and going up 14-3 at halftime.

Yes, I witnessed that and wondered at that time if they were mad at themselves or of what was being called!

None of those guys know where are what Rome is or was. You're going to have to dumb it down a whole lot more if you want them to understand you.

Finally an intelligent post by him, not just garbage about firing the coach, and you disparage him. Although everyone that has read his posts know he was just trying to be sarcastic..
