That offense had a great balance of run and pass. Special teams were demons that year with Abney!!

He seemed to take the Air Raid and mix it with a power running game with a heavy dose of play action. Love to see that type of offense. I don't know whether we have the heavyweight running back like Pinner was that season.

Him doing well at Florida was pretty much never going to happen. Its been well publicized that he decided to keep Charlie Weis' playbook instead of installing his own. We don't know if that was his or Muschamp's decision but it is what it is.

He did pretty well here and at Boise State as OC.

He's hated here by a lot of people, including Lorenzen. Apparently he was a grade A jerk. Which I honestly wouldn't mind at all if he won games.

I loved the type of offense Brent Pease ran here and actually started a thread recently about how I would like to see us run a similar offense now. Stoops wants to be able to spread the field and be difficult to defend. Yet he also wants an offense that is very physical and can control the clock with a robust ground game. IMHO, an offense like Pease ran at UK would deliver better in that regard than trying to tweak a finesse air raid system into something it isn't.

Pease had a relatively simple playbook. They didn't run a tremendous number of plays. But the few plays they ran, they were able to run out of a bunch of different formations. He tossed in some air raid concepts. But he likewise used the I formation at times. Though different, the offense was largely based on the same philosophy as the Bobby Petrino offense.....in that it was designed to be a "power spread" of sorts, giving you the best of both worlds. That 2002 team could spread you and shred you. But they could also get physical with you and run you over when they needed to.

I'm not really a pro or anti Pease guy. But I do like the offense he ran here and feel it could be just as successful today...and probably more so with the influx of talent the present coaching staff is bringing in.

UK that year also had one of the better lines in the SEC, a 1,400 yard rusher in Pinner and sure fire WR's who caught everything from a accurate QB.

UK has none of the above.

The WR that year were Derek Abney, Aaron Boone, Chris Bernard, Ernie Sims...Abney was a moderately rated 3*...the rest were not as highly thought of. UK has plenty of talent at WR that needs to execute like this group...it isn't about raw talent.

The OL was Antonio Hall, Jason Rollins, Matt Huff, Sylvester Miller, Nick Seitze...outside of Antonio Hall who was a 5 *...the rest were typical UK Ol recruits of 3/2* kids. Again, UK will have as much raw talent at OL next year...but they don't execute as a unit. And I'd still argue our strength program produces some flimsy results as a whole.

UK has not much of the 2002 attributes due to not coaching up some kids at certain spots..and OL/WR are two of leading positions that mentally don't execute throughout the year.
