Agree 100%.

Imagine that effort and determination to start the game (before they got deflated) with a full roster of upperclassmen and 2-depp depth. I could suffer a couple more years of bumps for that.

Unfortunately "imagine" defines our program.

Our defense has improved some but we are still missing simple tackles and we're still leaving receivers wide open

Still don't think Stoops is the man for the job. Just hope we don't keep him based on keeping games closer than expected . We need wins not moral victories.

I honestly felt it would be something along the lines of 35-0 at the half. Defense improved, no question, but with no depth they'll be done in the 4th.

I have this realistic and very uncomfortable feeling that tonight is not going to be a moral victory.

I disagree in a game like this. We take a shot and they pick it off, they have plenty of athletes to return it for 6. 24-3 sounds a lot worse than 17-3

That's what you have to do when your a big underdog and totally outmatched. You have to take a lot of chances. We can't beat them playing it safe (probably can't beat them anyway we play). If the teams are closer talent wise then play conservative. If we lose by 20 something instead of 30 something it is still a loss.

Alabama is the program that can and should think like that.

UK isn't playing for a play off spot. We'd all be tickled pink if we got to 5 at this point, and 6 would get Stoops a statue.

If Alabama picks it off and takes it back, so be it. What's 7 more pts on a 30-40 pt beat down? I would be proud that the staff took the shot.

Something crazy could happen, at least a season if not program defining moment/play perhaps...

Is Johnson told not to take a hit? He slides way to early when he could get 3 or 4 more yards.

Are bama players allowed to pack on the sidelines? or on the field?

Happy feat for Johnson...needs to settle. Cant blaim him.

We need to roll him out to give him a run/throw option. He's a sitting duck against the rush with a straight drop back.

I'd like to see our first possession be a grinder for a score handing it off to Snell. Nobody can tackle that guy...great combo of power, speed, and elusiveness.
