Interesting. Johnson played RT. They were blitzing from Jeff's blindside.

Would love to get a win in this game. It could propel us to have a year that could win the east.
I think the KY game was a great pressure dress rehearsal in which our players rose to the occasion on the most dire and dark moments.
I will probably suffer through this one but will root hard.

2) Driskel has to be a run threat on the QB read. Don't know whether he is scared to keep the ball or if the plays have not been options but he has been open several times had he kept the ball on the read option.
Yep. What's the point of the read option if the QB doesn't ever keep it? I saw two missed TDs because he handed it off instead of keeping it. He also missed two TD passes to Jones and Robinson on the routes to the flat because he didn't get the ball out fast enough.
Bama game is going to be dependent on how well Driskel plays. We won't win if he plays like he did against UK.

In his defense the coaches didn't want him keeping the ball, I do think they're protecting him for the future.

I saw a bunch of dropped balls that would have probably given him some confidence to get the ball out faster. He was probably concerned whether or not the player was ready because of this.

What's the injury report looking like?
I know McGee, Humphries, & Worton are out.
Did we not suffer any injuries against UK? Amazing if true. Anyone dinged up a little that we know of?

No. WM PC today and he didn't mention anything about that.

Exactly. Against UK from my vantage point, he could have kept more than a few for big runs. I know you don't want an injury, but you can't think about stuff like that vs the teams we have coming up on the schedule.
He miss 3 big throws down the field in the first half the other night. He has to hit those if we're going to have a chance.

He has been asked not to run as much early in the year.

No college qb is going to hit key passes all the time...hell...has anyone watched the NFL? I hate the pros but from the few snippets I've watched, the pro qbs can leave a lot to be desired.
The main pressure on Driskel from UK DL came from the right side...rewatch the video of the game. The pressure from the left side was corner/safety/lb blitzs that were well designed and tip your cap to Stoops.The blitzs that come from corners/safetys are usually picked up by rbs or a free OL.
UK really impressed me Saturday...I know speed when I see it and they had it. Very well coached on defense and they were outmanned of course by the talent level. They gave 110% effort and that's why Im not worried about the close nature of the score. Our team played very hard...just went up against a strong team that was determined to win. UGA goes to Lexington later on and they better be ready.
We don't need Driskel to run much at all to win. Bama is weaker than some think. Our OL can get Matty Jones and Kelvin enough room to break tackles...especially in 4th qt when defenses get tired. The game is in the hands of our defense and special teams...we need much better field position to start drives on...which hurt us a lot. I noticed Boom mentioned field position at his post game presser and I posted on here that field position was bad in the first half before I ever heard him say it.
Thank God Christy had a great game. He is averaging 48.7 a punt which is high cotton.

I watched the game again (and may do it again tonight
) and you can tell Kentucky is head and shoulders better than previous years. They looked damn good.

This game looks a lot different if Kentucky beats some teams they shouldn't down the stretch. It will be interesting to look back at this one in December.

I was telling guys on the rant last week that UK had one of the better defensive lines we were going to face all season and everybody laughed at me.

Yeah around these parts there's very little reflection and logical investigating.
I said we should be careful of Kentucky and got laughed at as well.
3 OTs later and no one acknowledges anything, other than "we suck". I loved that game, and I've watched it several times (because I can't get enough football and Saturday is four days away) and you can even hear the commentators saying that this is not the same UK everyone is accustomed to.
Kentucky played their best game and we played a mediocre game.

I guarantee that Kentucky will not only beat a team they ought not to, they will play very well against other teams and still not get the respect they deserve.
Unless they take those teams to triple overtime as well.
No one is going to respect them unless they win, but we'll know they were a pretty damn good team last Saturday.

Look at the score at halftime and that tells you everything. Both teams struggled...UF tried to hit bombs and missed and that's why Im not too crazy about throwing deep too often...you don't hit and you are behind the chains.
Christy really bailed us out with his punting and a lot of folks don't understand how important that was...especially since we started with horrible field position so many times...just by picking one first down or two and he could come in and put them in the shadows of their goalposts.
We will throw deep against Bama and we need to connect on a couple to make them get out of the box some...then we can run.
Ideally we need to get first score and shut the crowd down...a turnover here and a kick/punt return there and it can happen quick.

yup, turnovers and special teams. i think we are talented enough to win, so long as we win the t/o battle and special teams.

I think this was the problem for the most part, we shouldn't have been gunning it from the beginning and I don't think it was necessarily any of the players to blame necessarily. I mean, those are rare because they usually don't hit, but we threw a bunch of 'em and really they were the right decisions, but if you're off by a foot you ain't gonna get it.
I hope we play a little more conservatively, but with more intellect. Just because you don't bomb it doesn't mean that you can't mix it up underneath, especially with the talent we have.
Posted on 9/16/14 at 10:54 pm to StrawsDrawnAtRandom
I think we will operate at warp speed to begin the game and try to get the defense soften up some and we will throw short high percentage passes...we have other playmakers besides DRob. We need Dunbar, Fulwood, Pittman and Burton to
make plays and keep chains moving and get the crowd noise down. Screen passes to our rbs would be great way to offset pass rush....have them chip block and release.
Will be fun to watch on TV.

The good thing is Robinson will be targeted. A lot. Which will open up the rest of the field for us. We've been needing a playmaker like him at WR for a while now. If we can get teams to watch him rather than the other players on the field, we can finally start moving forward.
