1. Won't UK have their biggest improvement between games 1 and 2 as well?
2. After that dismal outing against ODU is Sellars going to suddenly be confident and not be nervous?
3. UK looking past Carolina to Georgia the next week may be the best hope.
1- They should, but if our players and coaches do a better job, we should grow more (pretty sure this happened)
2- He still made freshman mistakes, but experience breeds confidence
ODU: 10/23 44% 114 yrds, 0 TDs, 0 INT. KY:11/15 73%, 159 yrds, 2TDs, 1 INT
(Seems his stat line improved)
3-For better or worse, often play at the level of our opponent…seems to have happened
All of that said, do I think we turned a corner? Nope. Sellars is still young and will at times dazzle and at times disappoint. White I thought did a great job making adjustments year one but after that regressed every year since. Not sure if it was a talent issue, a coaching issue (including position coaches), or a combination. I will reserve judgement on Loggains until the OL improves. I don’t think SOS would have been a consistently good play caller with our OL play.
There should be some joy in Mudville…The D looked really good (don’t care hire bad KY O is, we’ve made Heisman candidates out of backups). The O did enough.
