How are you all feeling out there on this fine Monday AM? I'm still pleasantly amazed. Willing to give Stoops next year, would like to build off this win for next year, and really looking forward to our bowl!
Let's Talk About the Win Over Louisville Some More
- Thread starter Random UK Fan
- Start date
Can't say enough about SJ play.
Stole the limelight from LJ and his poses for Heisman.
He threw the ball very well despite a few drops.
I don't recall one bad pass.

Walking into work with dumbfounded Louisville fans trying to hide after running their mouth all week. Yup...I'm good
I'll have to admit.I was just hoping to keep it close.
Hell, when the tards had the ball with 12 seconds to go,
every bizarre loss over the years flashed before my eyes.

Willing to give Stoops next year? IDK what to say.
We can talk about it for the next month as far as I'm concerned! It's great to feel good about UK football. The thing which surprised me as well as a lot of people including UL was the explosive way all 5 of UK TD's came. 3 long passes, and 2 long runs. Over the course of the game I started to feel like the Cat's could score from anywhere on the field anytime. And that's not a feeling I've had very often as a UK football fan. And yea I thought Johnson played probably the best game of his career.
I attended this game at PJ. Louisville is an over-ranked team, too reliant on 1 player. That's how Houston beat them. But this game was still a big challenge. Kentucky beat Louisville by winning the turnover battle, which shows a lot of team growth. I can't say enough about Steve Johnson. Until this week, we had a 1-dimensional offense, and Johnson was catching up to the speed of SEC football. That's why Gran became reliant on the wildcat. But that changed this week. Johnson's game has grown. Gran saw vulnerabilities in Louisville's secondary. Louisville planned for the wildcat, and Gran burned them. This was not a defensive masterpiece, but our defensive effort was our best in a while. Jordan Jones and Mike Edwards are great players. Big winners this week are Steve Johnson, Mark Stoops, Eddie Gran. Johnson has the inside track to start next year, regardless of what Barker or Hoak does. The week's big losers are fair weather Kentucky fans who wanted Stoops fired, and harped on Petrino as Kentucky's best coach option. Petrino had the more talented team, and he was at home. But Stoops out-coached Petrino. In doing so, Stoops validated Barnhart's faith in him. Kentucky won 7 games this year, 1 of the best comebacks in the country. So I just want to hear the vocal anti-Stoops crowd admit that they rushed to judgment and screwed up. The 15 extra practices in December will accelerate our team's preparation for 2017. I disagree with people who are scared of our 2017 schedule. It is as manageable as this year's was. With 19 starters coming back, next year should be better than this year.
Yep...same here. 80 yard pass...been there done that...60 yard run for a game winning TD...
It was a good game, played by both teams to the best of their ability. I'm proud of Stephen Johnson. He has really grown this year as a QB. I have a lot of respect for Jackson. He is one really good athlete, and plays hard. In this case, his hard playing cost them the game, but you have to admire him for trying to get every inch. If he had not tried to get another yard, and gone down, we would have probably lost, since they would have kicked the field goal, with not much time left for us to get down the field. That's hindsight, and the best part is, we beat their A$$. Petrino threw Jackson "Under the bus," in his post game interview. You would expect nothing else from that classless A$$hole.

I noticed how in control Stoops looked on the sidelines when they would show him. He seemed very confident in his team. I truly thought UofL would blow UK out. The way UK kept fighting and answering everything UofL did gave me confidence in Stoops and in this team.
Biggest upset of the year in college football IMO.
