Its like we just want to get out of here because we jumped out to a lucky early lead.

Hand off up the middle is our go to play. Its like we had all this momentum fired up and we slow way down.

Just cant figure this out. Nothing creative its like we have no quick slants in our play book or reverses anything besides run up the middle.

That's who Stoops is. He is an old stuck in the mud defensive coach. This is why you don't hire DCs unless you have the talent base to play good defense.

Good question. Especially with a running QB which always shreds our defense. We needed to stay aggressive and put points on the board. Not try to kill the clock.:mad:

With our two running backs hurt and Barker throwing way too hard we have no chance. We need to try something different than running Borton up the middle. Where is Conrad?

You hire an offense guy and at least your defense will stay fresh....this offense is a joke

Because our receivers can't catch anything.

At least the RBs are getting yards.

We don't know any other way, truthfully, we don't , we get up we just play not to lose. Now we can't move the ball. normal turn of events.

To be fair...we never any different on offensive approach to open the game. UK got 14 pts on defensive scores and 3 more were set up by the defense/UL shank punt.

THis is what Stoops is at UK...garbage offensive system, no execution, etc...

We're doing the exact same stuff we were doing in the first quarter. The difference is that we don't have Boom and Kemp in the backfield.

Also, Barker is no better than Towles and the receivers suck. Bad combo.
