D+. Showed up early in the season looking hopeless. But then they ended on a respectable run. If the season were flipped and the wins were early with a vintage Texas A&Mesque face plant at the end, I’d call it an F-

We had a lot of road-bumps throughout the season but I still like Leach should won another game or two if he wanted a C.


I give us a C- with the possibility of a C if we can win our bowl game vs a ranked team. I think the LSU win set up some unrealistic expectations. Leach had to clean up a rotten, I mean rotten, culture without a true Spring or Summer. He's setting up his culture and getting his players. If it looks the same in the middle of year 3 it might be a worry but not right now. On a side note I give Zach Arnett and the defense an A.

Beating expectations with a first year coach with one arm tied behind his back by opt-outs, C-19, few practices and probation...A+++ all the way.

Losing to volturds knocks it down to B+.

Hogs: B+, despite the record.

Had they finished off a couple of games that could have been wins, I would have given them an A in view of where they came from last year to what they accomplished this year.
Yeah, 3 wins is not what we will accept annually, but this very easily could have been a 5 or 6 win season against the toughest schedule in the country. Now, to build on the foundation that Pitt laid this season.

A-. If not for Bama having possibly their best team of the Saban era, we'd be in the playoff. I think we'd be in had we played that one close, but it is what it is. We're sitting at #5 with a good recruiting class and a lot of talent returning, so I can't complain.

Expecting a C back in August.

They piddled around in the opening game and got slapped around by Bama in the second game. They realized they were better than that.

They worked hard and earned a B+.

Quality players with good attitudes. They turned off the outside noise and concentrated on football.

Proud of them.

Yes you can. Against your FBS teams you can rest starters and give valuable reps to 2nd and 3rd stringers. Your argument is complete nonsense.

More so than the lack on nagging and lasting injuries affecting health and depth of the team, a 6 game tOsU schedule against a soft B1G conf schedule wherr they weren't really challenged, rarely played full strength, and did not have to open the playback or show a lot in defensive schemes or STs tendencies, there is very little game film to dissect and prepare against for opposing teams.

That is a huge advantage in today's game. It is a large reason I'd bet Saban would rather face Clemson in the finals than tOSU. They are more of a known quantity at this point. And, the prep process and talented rosters are 90% of Saban's success recipe. Gameday coaching is not the strength of the staff. Not necessarily a glaring weak spot, but it is a disproportionate aspect of the game.

Covid ruined what was going to be a really good season for UK.

I'd say a D is in order.

But since I didn’t expect to finish .500 this year, I’ll give them a B-

B+

The offense has been spectacular but the defense has struggled at times.
