Vandy lost to UF by 7 and held them to 13 points. This football team has improved and if not for Barker going down we would be putting up points like we did the first half of the Southern Miss game.
Making ish up that that's the expectation of the UK FB program as if it's for all time is total bs. Given where we are now with a backup, last-minute QB get, I'm all in that 6-6 in 2016 is a good outcome. But that's not the ongoing expectation.It doesn't matter. He's not the answer for Uk to become a contender for the east. Maybe he gets to 6 wins at some point, but this is a sad sorry *** excuse of expectations for an SEC program.
Ever since that point it has been improvement on defense and what does it say about UF that they only beat Vandy by 7 if us beating them by 10 was squeaking by?
We did not struggle to beat Vandy and even though they marched down the field really twice in the whole freaking game...how many offensive touchdowns did they have? If not for Boom's fumble this would have been a 23-6 or 27-6 game.
I sure hope he doesn't get another year due to wins like this. I'm not blasting the players but rather the coaching and I think two plays in particular stick out as examples that he doesn't have it together as a head coach. Both of the plays I'm talking about were 4th down plays with terrible time clock management. On the 1st they got the play off with only seconds left after standing around looking confused before lining up and snapping the ball; it appeared they were waiting to be told what to do from the sideline at the game, I don't know what it looked like on TV. The 2nd they did the same thing and got called for delay of game before kicking the last FG. It reminded me of when we only had 8 players on the field for a punt return against AUB last year. So many mental mistakes in the 2nd half by good football players can only be attributed to lack of discipline and fundamentals which points right to the top. AGAIN, NO BASHING OF THE PLAYERS, my beef is with Stoops & Co.Guys we won, and the defense looked good. Just enjoy the win. I have seen improvement in our defense, and I'm sure most of you have. We have three good RB's, and I think we have 18 or 19 of our starters back next year.
I thought Coach Stoops should be fired if we didn't go bowling, but if the defense continues to improve, with the present QB situation, I can see him getting another year.
OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!
Coulda woulda shoulda. That's all I'm hearing. Here are the facts...We beat them by 7 not 10. Didn't you see them drive right down the field with multiple chances to tie it at the end? We were lucky to not get intercepted at least 2 more times. Plus we are fortunate their running back left the game with an injury. He was starting to run it down our throats. The game could have turned out much different.
Boom's fumble was on our side of the field and there was no guarantee we would have scored if he didn't fumble. So it is hard to say the score could have been more lopsided. If he fumbled at like their 20 yard line after driving down the field then you could possibly have a point. Not when we had like 70+ yards to go. This game could have went to overtime and if that isn't struggling to beat them then I don't know what you think struggling is.
