Here is my reply to a pretty good thread Olem.

First, unfortunately we are a school that actually has academic standards and its tough getting JUCOs in. K State, Texas Tech, Ole Miss, etc etc have easier route. JUCOs cant ven visit officially unless the admin approves it.

Secondly, this is one game...just one. I was sick to my stomach last night but now I have cleared my head. UK wanted this game way way more than we did and it showed. They forced into a lot of errors and did beat us physically with their OL. I have to admit that I was not thrilled it took so long to have Khairi Clark inserted at nose. He is only one guy but I could see the difference in how the middle of the defense looked. The nose tackle is supposed to tie up two OL to let LBs make tackles, not get moved around by one OL as Slaton did. As bad as Slaton looked, he is very talented and will help us win games.

I cant understand the dropped passes that were on target. Franks was battered and he eventually lost some accuracy in the second half. Any QB will falter with pressure constantly in their face. Our OL just did a poor job...run blocking and pass protection. RBs need to be evaluated and imo Scarlett doesn't deserve many carries at all. Perrine ran with a purpose and ditto Davis. I hope Pierce is learning the protection schemes and can help us. If he cant block well, then teams will soon discover that he is in the game only to run the ball.

Special teams was ok, with the exception of Lemmons fielding a kickoff inside the end zone and trying to run it out and ending up at the 18 yd line. He did that last year too many times.


Refs were God awful for both sides...it was a flag fest and slowed everything down. Hopefully they got a notice from the SEC office.
