Up 35-10 and get blown out the rest of the way? Absolutely abysmal execution on the offensive side of the ball after looking like the best UK offense since 2007 for the first half. 28 yards total in the 2nd half? Against Southern Miss? Gran proved to me he's a darn good OC in the first half. So, what the hell happened?
Up 35-10 late in the first and you let their WR run free for a wide open TD? Who is coaching these guys? What the hell happened?
The second half the defense barely even slows them down after doing really well for much of the first half. Couldn't have been tired with our offense playing as well as they did. Completely blew a coverage right before the half and let them score late. Then, after resting, looked completely gassed the entire 2nd half. O didn't help any but no excuse for the first couple of TD drives by USM. None. Except, once again, Eliot, doesn't make any adjustments to what the other team is doing and they smoke us in the second half. With limited talent, wouldn't you try every trick in the book to overcome your talent deficiencies? What the hell happened?
I am so sick of hearing how this guy will be better after another year in the program, weight room, system, etc. When will you guys learn that UK players only very rarely get better year to year. Whole units (that's you, Dline) do NOT get better just because they're a year older. We have little to no talent up front, 4 years into Stoops' tenure. If we can't sign stud DL, then by God, CREATE them like Missouri does, like evidently USM does, like TCU did for years, et al. Our DL look so poorly prepared and unathletic and slow. I'd rather have 4 265-lb DL who can move and penetrate vs. the motley crew we field year after year. Stoops was/is a recruiter. What the hell happened?
This season, mercifully, is over already after one game. No chance for a bowl game. I'll watch them but I won't become attached to this team. It's over before it hardly began.
