We have witnessed this phenomenon in College Football where individual players are increasingly sitting out games at the end of the season, some to avoid further injury and others focusing on their next plans that suggest a transfer or entering the draft. My UK friends who follow the Cats football program very closely are convinced that several of the Cats packed it in after the loss to Vanderbilt. They have told me that some players interpreted the QB change, as an indication that Stoops has packed it in too.

Anyone who thinks UK is going to beat Texas in Austin is dismissing how important that game is to Texas. UK will be ineligible for Bowl consideration, and Brohm will have his kids as prepared as any game he has ever coached. Barring any unforeseen injuries on our side, we will win convincingly in Lexington this year.

But this roster has a lot of talent and its up to PK to figure out how games like Saturday don't happen again. He assembled the roster, he has the talent and now he's got to make the pieces work together and I think he will.

I've been saying all along that he's doing everything right so far, he just has to put the cherry on top and win games. Will be interesting to see how he bounces back after this. Luckily we have a couple weaker teams coming up that we should beat and get some things worked out..

Next big test will be IU, they beat Tennessee, so will be interested in seeing how we do after a couple more games under our belt....

Everything is in flux right now. Kelsey is learning about his team just like we are. You can't simulate talented competition.

Guys are also learning a new system with a different roster. This roster has talent that didn't perform against a top-ranked team in their second game of the season. Edwards, Hadley, Traore, and Koren Johnson are all really good players. Hadley and Johnson came from Power 5 programs, where they played really well.

This team forced 20 turnovers and had 12 steals.

They got punched in the mouth by a really good defensive team that also happened to shoot really well. Making season long statements about how horrible players are based on these two games is completely insane.

I'm not saying Kelsey is 100% going to take us where we want to be and people are idiots for doubting him. He may not work out. But this roster has a lot of talent and its up to PK to figure out how games like Saturday don't happen again. He assembled the roster, he has the talent and now he's got to make the pieces work together and I think he will.

TY TRV. I corrected this error. I scrubbed this game from the picks. Sorry for the mistake and any confusion.

I definitely get that but we can't lose sight that we need to take care of business against Stanford and Pitt first. Its likely UK won't have anything to play for except beating us... again.

Agree,my only point is I think we're getting better. I don't know what's gonna happen. Not even talking about uk

Who thinks uk is going to beat Texas @UT? I don’t think the players think that.
UK will be up to playing UofL especially when it’s @uk . Regardless of bowl eligibility it’s a rivalry game and their Super Bowl!
With so many bowl games a 5 win team is eligible if their APR is high enough!

Instead of focusing in on Traore, what is up with Edwards? Isn't he supposed to be the top dog? Wasn't he our most prized transfer. Since the two exhibition games, he has been basically invisible.
