It might be against a woeful Charlotte, but for the most part our offense looked competent. Can't complain cause it could be much worse.

Barker's accuracy isn't great either. Already two balls thrown 15 feet over the receivers head and a few behind the receivers. But the big difference is that he puts a higher percentage of throws on target than Towles. But I don't know how much of a conclusion we can draw from this game. Charlotte is pretty awful.

The first high throw , he was throwing the ball away. If he had thrown the ball to the sideline receiver, it would of been intercepted.

I don't care if our QB has a big arm, an NFL arm, a canon or any other kind of powerful arm. Accuracy. It's all I ask for. Chad Pennington would do just fine - heck, Dusty Bonner would do just fine.

So far, Barker isn't appreciably more accurate than Towles. It's early though.

I think he may throw a more catchable ball....

Another conservative call there on that 3rd and goal IMO. That play never had a chance at a TD. Oh well, 10-0 is a lot better than we have been seeing of late so I will take that after 1.
The first down running play killed the drive and had no chance. UK needs to throw on first down in the red zone.

There was room for a back shoulder throw there. The DB did not get a good jump and Baker had a 3 or 4 yard cushion.

Barker will be fine as he gains experience. Playing him today will give us a shot next week

I don't know why the Charlotte QB is rushing it, he has all day to pass.

Between Wright State and Charlotte, the SEC Network sure has just mailed it in the last couple of nights.

I don't get SEC Network Alternate in high def, so I'm not even sure if they had enough equipment to send up HD cameras for tonight's game.
