Stats do mean something but more down the road than today. There is nothing that stands out stats wise that screams UK is actually better than last years team.
Their offense is average with their running game (106) being bad even though they have played 3 bad run defenses. Not to mention their overall offensive numbers aren't good even with playing 3 bad offenses.
Their defensive numbers aren't much better. They haven't played a good offense yet so their defensive numbers are concerning when the better offenses are in the back half of the schedule.
The good news is their remaining schedule is full of average teams. There are some years where the schedule works in your favor this is one of those years at UK. If they don't win 7 games they that would be a let down considering who they played.
I agree that stats will give a clearer picture later in the season.
The running game isn't bad, and it's definitely better than UofL's where a QB is the leading rusher, thats a recipe for disaster.
I understand you guys wanting to downplay UK's schedule, it's what every fanbase does when their rival is doing well. Computer rankings aside, who on Louisville's schedule is better than Florida?
Considering he played over half the game against UK, and UK has only played 5 games so far, you are uninformed on the personnel of your opponents. And, in this case specifically, you appear completely oblivious as to how far USC has fallen this year. Orth's existence on the field for extended time illustrates just how bad the problems are @ USC, yet you seem incapable to grasp this elementary point. You pointed to that game as "a road win in the SEC", which tells only part of the story. The rest of the story is it was a nail biting close win on the road in the SEC against a team that will finish under .500 that was pressed into using a walk-on at the most important position on the field in the UK/USC game - the SEC opener for both.
You think it was a good win. The rest of the country, if asked, would tell you it was a win over a bad 4 or 5 win team - because that's what they are going to end up being. Ask their own fans, they are furious.
Your inability to know, and/or "get" this means, you are incapable of providing a credible opinion about SOS's, because you are unfamiliar with the teams UK has even played.
Again, not rocket science, but flying over your head because you are not only not equipped with the information, but it now seems you are also incapable of comprehending the meaning of the information when it is provided to you.
I am using the description uninformed so as to not be insulting. Other people reading your work would describe you in other ways.
In closing, we don't care if you "think" UK has a good team, because - when we read your posts we don't respect your opinions because you don't know a whole lot and at other times you've just "made stuff up" which is hilarious.
Bottom line - UK appears to have an advantageous schedule, so it's real hard to say just how "good" they are, especially at this time - and the fact that you don't get that exposes your ignorance on the topic.
Haha, That whole post is bunch of garbage came to the conclusion because I didn't know that Orth was a walk on, thats hilarious. You're upset because once again I was right, and you even proved my point. By the very stats I posted from the game it's obvious Connor did nothing in the game, and that the walk on back up that in your mind even though he moved the ball and kick started USC's offense, UK caught a break by him being in.
It was a good win on the road, just like UofL's win over NC ST was a good win on the road, any road conference win is a good win.
Again, just like the rest of your posts, you never really add anything. All you do is try and pick holes, grab the smallest morsel and try to make a meal out of it. The above proves just that, you've latched onto this walk on QB, even though when pointed out with facts that he actually performed MUCH better than the starter, UK somehow still caught a break with him playing.
You might as well quit dancing around the subject, UK has caught UofL in football as of now and you're well aware of it, but still holding out hope. Hey, keep trying to win the argument by putting me down, I don't care, it doesn't change whats taking place.
What's funny is that USC has the exact same record as Louisville, and you call them awful, thats rich.
