Our Fears are Realized on D

[UKWinsAgainYep]

I think we win this game, but just as many of us feared, our D-Line will be crumbling by mid season.

We simply do not have SEC depth on the D-Line and it looks likes swiss cheese right now against Southern Miss.

Can you imagine mid way through the SEC season what will happen to this D-Line?

I shudder to think how teams will run the ball on us up the middle. Stoops and Eliot have to use more stunts/blitzes to shake things up as the season goes on...

Hatcher, Tubman, and Meant have really cost us.

Hatcher, Tubman and Meant wouldn't have made a difference. I'm starting to be convinced that you could give Stoops an NFL defensive line and we'd still get destroyed in the running game.

UK is struggling to contain the Southern Miss offensive surge. It is not good

Is it just me or has Jimmy Brumbaugh never impressed?

 

[UKWinsAgainYep]

How many times have you seen an opposing QB look like an All American and get career highs against us over the years?

Rather we win or not. The curse lives on.

Bad schemes, bad coaching and bad execution = Bad football. Dawson has made a mockery out of Stoops and Elliott.

Stoops is going to get fired eventually...it's just a matter of how much money UK is willing to eat when he gets canned. THis year can't make a bowl game after dropping this one...and now recruiting is giong to get harder to keep kids.

But why Stoops went to a 3-4 is still the mystifying decision that was awful from the get. That scheme is hard as heck to recruit and very hard to coach up kids to execute given how young they are in college and you only have them for 4 years. We are just awful in this scheme and Stoops doesn't have experience coaching this scheme...he was a pure 4-3 guy at Zona and FSU...so why did we do this?
