LPT thinks we run the "offense of the future"...

Homer. You have the perfect name. This is not even worth conversation. LOL

I agree with homer... LPT is on the verge of something.

Excellent post, Homer. You're getting better at your UK-ness.

Homer is pure gold. The delusion is only comparable to how this current administration views the terror threat.

They improve two games every year .... (5 and 7 last year ... to 5 and 7 this year -- must be that new fangled Common Core math they're teaching now).

Maybe next year they can somehow schedule 10 home games, to keep that magical 2 game each year improvement going.

I dont understand why ul fans cant admit they are crappy this year just like UK was and the denial and fear of the trajectories of the two programs by ul fans is amazing.
Simple math shows a clear pattern emerging for both, were we improve 3 wins every 2 years and ul regresses 2 wins EVERY YEAR! Using this simple formula proves that UK will have back to back 8 win seasons in 16 and 17 followed by TWO 11 win and probable playoff seasons following. According to scientific models ul will win only 5 next year and 3 the year after!
Were we closer on the field than BBN would want this year? yes, but us higher IQ football fans knew that we would only win 5 this year so we are 100% on schedule as Stoops rebuilds from the utter and complete destruction of Joker. That is why I can sit back and laugh as you get beat up by our SEC brothers from college station, knowing that this will be the last bowl game in your history and the all the great success that UK football is on the verge of, starting next year.

Have another drink. You'll be fine.

I started not to open this thread when I read the title. Zipp you almost lost me at "LPT Thinks....". Anything from that point on is either irrelevant or an outright lie. But I'm glad I clicked on it, otherwise I would have missed Homer's amazing analysis.

Btw...I thought back in the 90's UK was experimenting with a new offense. It was like a hybrid of the Wing T and the Wishbone. They called it the Wingbone or something like that. Maybe Homer remembers it?

Some of our fans have questioned the logic of Petrino trying to adapt his offense. Specifically, Petrino adding a dual threat QB to his traditional offense.

Since Saturday's LPT debacle and after viewing mobile QBs run all over them this year, LPT fans have asked why they don't add a dual threat QB to their offense. I'm now listening to a podcast of a Lexington sports talk show from Tuesday nite where the host referred to the "offense of the future", what Petrino is trying to do and the offense that other successful schools are running.

Now, I'm the last guy to embrace what any LPT fan thinks about football, and these people may be dead wrong. They were obviously trashed by that very offense all year long and may have a distorted POV. LPT fans also know firsthand how successful Petrino was here a decade ago and how they were dominated by the offense he ran at that time. Yet, they look somewhat enviously at the offense they saw on Saturday...

I think more than anything, Pitrino has the philosophy of "feeding the studs." I think what is going on is more trying to use the players he has the best way possible rather than fitting the players to one mold.

Yahtzee!!

I don't disagree with that, except that it goes beyond what players we currently have. Petrino is taking commitments from dual threat QBs instead of pro style QBs...

If a safety or even a QB has the athletic skills to be a football player, Louisville is among the greatest places to find your eventual place in the game. How soon we forget that all 3 of our first round draft picks with the Teddy group - both Marcus and Pryor - were recruited as QB's to here.

Reggie B, take a read at this one!

Agreed. BUT if we convert those athletic QBs to other positions, I'm not sure who that leaves playing quarterback!

 

[Senore2006]

Well, Zipp, our QB's still outnumber UK's, lol. Even if two play DE!!

My biggest puzzle with LPT is their ridiculously shallow QB resources.

 

[BooneCo_Card]

The head to head the last two years is fairly equal?

Average yards per game
Louisville 480.5
Kentucky 309

Yeah but we should get homerBlue to break them down on a quarter by quarter basis to set the record straight. lol

How mysterious is it? Would you go to play there if you were a promising quarterback??
