Something going terribly wrong in Lexington

[2330859]

It’s always a good week when UL wins and UK losses; but the way things played out in Kroger Field last night suggests that Stoops and UK have some under-lying issues that suggest that more than just injuries and poor performance are contributing to their decline. If there was ever a time to beat Auburn it was this season, and the way Auburn abandoned their pre-game strategy of passing the football in favor of running against UK’s “vaulted front four”, it exposed more than just UK’s defense. Stoops and his staff have lost control of their team.

I watched UK give both UGA and Ole Miss much more than I had ever expected, and it raised concerns as to just how UL would be able to win. Everything has changed, as it appears the players may “have packed it in”. For those UL fans questioning our own fundamental tackling, there is some consolidation in watching UK give up 220+ yards to Hunter when most of the yardage was after contact.

It’s a long way off, but we must beat UK this year regardless of what we do between now and then.

Right now they have no QB. With all emphasis on the D and run they just assume they can get enough from QB to win games with 13-20 points. But their D isn't good enough for that strategy, in today's game not sure any D is.

Hopefully neither QB turns it around. We are still their SB.

Well, my first response to reading the title of this thread was “so what else is new?” It may be a bit of a leap to conclude that the Yuts have packed it in, everybody has a bad game here and there. I think they will still be a handful, but I also think this is our best opportunity in the past five years or so to win back the GC. Let’s go beat Clemson.

I saw a different group against BC than the one that we saw against Miami-big strides forward.

BEAN: if you think that “thingd have not changed” within UK football, you can be excused as having little or no interest in our in-state rival’s football program. The Stoops era was on the cusp of moving well ahead of South Carolina, Missouri, Florida, Vanderbilt and regrettably UL: fortunately I now see that trend ending.

The “so what else is new” comment refers to the title of the thread. Something is ALWAYS terribly wrong in Lessinton. Porky needs a great OC to have a good team. Currently he does not.

Maybe Pitino’s check bounced..
