Ryan Timmons was one of many stars vs. Louisville. Probably played his best game as Wildcat!

I was pleased for Ryan that he had such a good game. He's had some disappointments along the way so glad he could contribute to such a satisfying win.
He has played better this year, I believe Lamar Thomas has made a world of difference with Ryan. Just wish Ryan had 4 years with him.
In addition to his receptions I noticed his downfield blocking on other key plays. Happy for him, and I hope he has a great bowl game.
He had a nice game,just about everybody who got on the field made a positive contribution.That doesn't happen often but that is what it took for us to get a win on the road against a top 20 team(as long as they have Jackson that is what they are as much as it pains me to say it)
It's a funny path Ryan had at UK.
- In his first year we basically never threw the ball with Whitlow/Max Smith
- In year 2 and 3..he was the poster for dropping passes at the Wr spots.
- Then in year 4...I don't think he dropped a pass but Juice and Dorian Baker and at times Badet were dropping balls all over the place.
Glad to see him stick it out and put up a solid Sr year.

Ryan has made a bunch of clutch catches this year. I think underutilized like Conrad. Came up big again Sat
Thought Timmons played great Saturday. Couple of plays stand out. The powerful escape and run after the catch and the last catch of the game, in traffic, to get us 5 or so more yards for field goal position.
On the other hand, without being too harsh, I would have loved for Timmons (on the drive when we got the first field goal) to have jumped off of one foot, ala a basketball layup, and gone up to catch one of those two beautifully thrown corner routes at the highest point he could. Both of those balls were highly catchable and he tried to run under both to make a basket style catch. This allowed the UofL player to make a play.
I don't think that critique is overly critical on what turned out to be a wonderful day for the big blue.

UoL is pretty much a top 5 team minus a bad game vs Houston.Even then, they we're a top 11 team facing us. We all hate UoL but they are good this year.
