This coaching staff is laughably inept. They played for the field goal when they could have stepped on the throat.

I still feel like Barker is way more composed than Towels. He just missed Badet because of inexperience and Stoops didn't put him in a good clock situation.
In Barker's defense, he doesn't have the in game experience than Drew does.
24-7 at the half? I'll take that all day.

I'm pretty happy with how that last drive went considering we usually surrender 30 points in the last 2 minutes of the half. I'll take it.
Pressure comes. Why didn't Barker just throw it away?!!
Pressure comes. Why did barker throw it away? He had two guys open!!
Oh man. Our fan base haha

Big drive to end the half...killed a ton of clock and go back up 3 scores.
To me....I don't see an answer out of Barker at all. He has less arm talent than Towles, probably not as good a runner and his field vision/pocket presence isn't any better than Towles. UK has two 4 star QB and neither are getting coached up to that level so far on the field

It was 3rd and goal...we ran a 2nd play in kicking the field goal. Pay attention to the game of football please.
Game just went from 2 scores to 3 scores.
Uh how is that? They played for a TD, just cause they didn't get it doesn't mean they weren't trying to score a TD. Who are you people and why haven't we seen you all year?
I think he was hoping for a 5th down.
It was third down. Not going to go for it and leave 3 off the board.
NO the play call was there...two wide open for the TD Barker didn't do his part.
I think Stoops made sure to say if you don't see anyone open with 6 seconds or so just throw it away.
Barker will be ok. I think people forget that he's still a freshman. He did miss a td there but overall he's played well enough.
Congrats guys. It should be even worse than it already is so I'm just thankful it's not 31 or 38-7. You guys came prepared to play and it shows. I think it's time for Louisville to think about the direction of this football program and if this coaching staff is worth it.
Just hopped into the game thread. Are we winning or losing by 17? Some of you will Never be happy.
He's also a redshirt freshmen and playing as well as Towles has been. Give me a break. Barker has zero turnovers. Towles has had an interception in every game he's played this year. Such a miserable portion of our fanbase. We're up 24-7 and playing possibly our best game of the year and this is the crap we're hearing.
Like we are playing not to lose.
Otherwise that was a nice long drive to keep the L'ville offense off the field.

Happy with the score but we had a chance to really bury them in the 1st half.
1- The Horton fumble would have likely lead to points.
2- The shank punt possession where we started at the 25 and didn't get any points
3- Settled for a FG right before half when we had 2 guys wide open for a TD.

No he is absolutely correct. I'm sure Barker was told about the little time left and he had to make a play or throw it away. Call time out with about 15 seconds and you don't even have to mention it to Barker and he gets the TD. Stoops clearly outsmarted himself. No need
to run the clock down that close. Once again shows how inexperienced he is at game management. We still hope he will learn from these situations. Cats have the game by the throat with a stop on UL's first second half possession. BTW, Badet should have gone toward the endline once in the open so he could have been more easily seen.
This. Pat would've already thrown at least one pick, and would have been oblivious to wide open receivers as well.
Give Barker about 10 more games behind our o-line against teams like Florida, Alabama and Tennessee (with Shannon Dawson calling plays) and see how composed he is
In what way? We took a TO with 10 seconds left on 3rd down. When was the last time a play from the 3 took 10 seconds? You guys criticizing the players and coaches are such morons.
Overall good half. More than I could ask for. Only one to in the half. Barker will get better. So far I'm okay with him.
And he probably said three here is what we need handcuffing our qb from trying to make a play.
Upside is that he has started 2 games to Towles two seasons. If both are even then I'll take the one that has the most potential to make improvement.
Idiotic. It was the right thing to do. Only an idiot wouldn't have went for the 3 points there.
Just a terrible take. You guys search high and low for things to whine about.
OK, so he's aggressive at Miss St. and UT and it bites him in the ***. Here, he has a 14 point lead and he goes conservative. Either way, you complain. Give it a rest, man.
Oh good. Great to have you here, too. Been tough watching us dominate this game so far, I imagine.
