OK, I'll jump on the pumper bandwagon

First half was ugly. That said, we ended up with 532 yards of offense, our QB threw for 295 yards and 3 TDs against one interception and we had another 237 yards on the ground. Add to that another 129 return yards. That is not a bad night against what is an improving UK team. If you want to look at something, look at our defensive secondary that gave up 369 yards. We held them to 81 yards on the ground , less than 3 yards/carry. Other than the passing yards given up, that's not a bad night at all.

I think we will see decent yards without much production in many games due to Driskel throwing in the flats a lot and hardly ever getting the ball down the field accurately. We only scored 20 points in regulation despite 400+ yards at the time. Yards don't matter when you don't make 3rd downs and score. I wonder how many yards Driskel actually had without the yards after catch just with the throw - a little over a 100 maybe - I know that is part of this offense but you have to have somewhat of a threat to sling it downfield.

I agree the secondary got burned in the 2nd half on.

Understand and watching the game, it looked worse than what the stats show. However, UK had 14 first downs through the air and we had 13, basically a tie.

what fever said... and also those numbers were after a full game and 3 OTs. Drink kool-aid if you want but it's not going to help. Last year it was TOP now its yardage... both are good to have in general but neither wins a game. Can we consistently move the sticks, convert on 3rd and score in the redzone is what is important regardless of TOP or yardage and the answer to those questions was mostly no.

Defensive secondary was very concerning...we had some serious issues defending the deep ball. Im actually surprised kentucky didn't keep chucking it at us. Even the last INT in the 4th was an open WR that just didn't catch the ball. He makes that play and we likely lose in regulartion. We need to get that fixed asap

All that game did put the noose around Muschamps neck. Only a matter of time now...

A tale of two halves!

I am worried about our DB's getting torched in the 2nd half.

Were they getting beat by speed or just taking bad drops?

So should we not count any home runs that players have hit in extra innings? Should we go back and take away Emmitt Smith or Walter Payton's rushing yards from OT games during their career? Overtime or not, they had to gain the yards and they put the points on the board. They still count just as much as the ones during regulation.

ARe you freaking joking? You get the ball on the 25 yd line. It skews scoring badly. I mean you're automatically in scoring position starting out every OT. GTFO with that.

Should the yards not count, either?

Penalty kicks in soccer are damn near automatic, should those not count? Free throws in basketball are an uncontested shot from 15 away, should those not count? Intentional walks give a guy first base without even trying, should it not help his on base percentage? If the defense gets a turnover or there's a big return on special teams that sets the ball up inside the 25, should those yards/points not count?

The only stat that counts in this game is 20 points. That's all we could muster w/ our "much improved offense". We averaged 18.6 ppg last year. 1.4 points less than we scored in regulation. So if "much improved" = 1.4 points, that's pretty sad.

I'm guessing Roper is going to figure out what Jeff can and can't do and make adjustments (the "Can't Do" list is considerably longer than the "Can Do" list, I imagine). I imagine he'll dumb-down the offense to fit his skill set. As mentioned 100 times, JD needs to keep the ball on the read-option more often. He needs to connect on some deep throws. He needs to throw it away when necessary.

Funny you bring up soccer...are PKs counted? Nope.

They may count but you pimping those stats or any stats after we've played UK & EMU is a joke. This whoe program has reached massive joke status under Muscrap. It is sickening.

So you're saying that in the middle of a soccer match, when a player is awarded a PK and makes it, the score doesn't count? What kind of prescriptions are you on right now? Or did you come off them against doctor's orders?

 

[G8RNGA]

The only stat that counts is points scored when the clock strikes zero - we won that stat. This other stuff makes for good discussion, but the last time I checked, the objective of the game is to win. I'm hoping we keep doing that!

Huh? Who is on meds here? PKs? In soccer? After the two 15 minute period they goto PKs. THEY DO NOT COUNT YA DUMB****! Do you work on being this stupid or does it come naturally?

We were talking OVERTIME...you brought up soccer. Penalty shootout in the WC/UEFA/ETC(any elimination match). Those goals do not count. So piss off cpt limpwrist.
