won't take our new brothers long to figure out what kind of players it takes to win in the SEC.

Petrino is still trying to figure it out. When the other team is out of timeouts, and you have the ball deep in your own territory, it's okay to run a draw and take your 17 pt lead into halftime instead of chunking the ball deep and risking a turnover that shrinks your lead to 10 points and giving the other team momentum.

He got lucky once in the past, but the turnover will happen more times than hitting the one miracle play will.

I was proud of him in the 3rd quarter when he punted on 4th and 2 after the timeout. Arky pinned K State back deep, forced a punt and scored a td on the ensuing drive. Maybe Petrino learned something last night.
