How did your team do? Any surprises? Dissapointments? Prediction for the rest of the season?
UK played well against UofL in the first half, Cobb had an EXCELLENT one handed grab. Second half we faltered, penalties caused by our three freshmen offensive linemen hurt us, otherwise it would've probably been a blowout. I think we'll go at least 7-6 this season, 8-6 if we go on to the Music City, Cotton or Outback Bowl. We have an explosive offense that is hard to contain, ( when we aren't running our 5-10 backs up the middle every two plays). :rofl
College Football is here, baby! :cheers:

UK somehow managed 4 cupcake games this year (Louisville was one of them). I don't see you guys beating Florida, UT, Georgia and Auburn. 7-6 is a tough one looking at their schedule though, let alone 8-6.

It's all good Jayhawk, Daymond Patterson is the real deal, they'll rebound. :rock

The LSU / NC game looked to be a blow out by the end of the first half. It turned into a real nail biter at the end with NC almost taking the game. I was VERY impressed by the NC QB and his ability to get short yardage passes completed in a very short amount of time. His slant option pretty much had the LSU defense in tatters. For a team that was a double digit underdog going into the game they showed a lot of heart. For a short handed team they have tons of talent in their second string players. If I were the coach I'd be rethinking my starters should any of them be cleared of their suspensions.

LSU may have won, but they didn't look the best doing it. They got real lucky they were able to stop that last minute drive at the goal line. There was a poll done here that asked if people thought the Tigers were going to another championship or was Les Miles going to lose his job if they don't. Still waiting to see the results.

Iowa vs Eastern Illinois University Iowa 37-7
Iowa came out in a solid workman like performance. Iowa played a very basic game plan, short passes, run the ball. They scored on their first two possessions. They only attempted one long pass all day. They did do a WR reverse. When that worked they did it to the other side on the next play. On defense the D'line was in the Eastern Illinois backfield most of the day. Bad secondary play resulted in a TD for EIU. Iowa left a couple of scores on the field. Fumbling a QB/center exchange on the EIU 4 yard line and fumble by a WR on the Eastern Illinois University 40. Overall O'line play was a little inconsistant. Typical for a opening game.
Overall Iowa's defense is going to be a problem for most teams. Paki O'Meara scored on a blocked punt. The defense got one (almost 2) safety out of EIU. The offense will probably be better than last year. 2 solid QB's. 2 solid RB's. Better depth at WR/TE this year. There were several starters out for various reasons. Second back Adam Robinson gained 109 yards and grabbed 3 receptions. Rick Stanzi's knee crumpled under him in the second quarter and he limped off the field. Backup QB James Vandenberg came in and the offense didn't lose a step. Rick came back late in the second quarter and played until the end of the third quarter. He got 229 yards passing. Iowa subbed almost every postion in the fourth quarter.

It is the SEC, look at Florida and Bama, look at how many cupcake games they have. Florida played WKU. UK has a LEGITIMATE chance to do some damage this year, Akron, WKU, Miss. St., Tenn, Vandy, Ole Miss, Charleston Southern (Biggest cupcake). I think we could maybe pull out South Carolina and Georgia, after all, those are home games, and I think Auburn is a long shot but you never know. Those that I listed first give UK 8, if we get lucky with S.Car or Georgia, that is nine. We have some good players this year, a veteran offense and a talented defense.
-
Considering that NC was without a bunch of starters I think that LSU is suspect until proven otherwise.
-
Kentucky won't beat miss state, south carolina, or georgia.

Weren't there people that said about the same thing in 2007? We couldn't beat UofL, we couldn't beat LSU, we couldn't beat Arkansas, we couldn't go toe to toe against Florida or Georgia... Well, we did.

yea, but you don't have andre woodson.

Mmm I am going out on a limb, I think Ole Miss might mention Defense in a meeting or two this week

That's right, we have Randall Cobb, Locke, La'Rod King and a couple of good back-ups. A greatly improved Hartline, and a couple of new faces on the defense stepping up.

Did you actually watch the UofL game or are you going off of what little info ESPN is showing?

You're also smoking a large quantity of crack if you believe what you're saying. I understand you're a fan, but jesus, at least use some relevance with it.

I'm going on being a fan of SEC (Tenn.) football for the better part of 28 years, you? ESPN is about as accurate as the Military Channel. Lorenzen was supposed to be "the answer" to UK's program, just like Cobb.

Purdue lost to Notre Dame 23-12. Our defense got faked out on every handoff and froze, letting their runner gash us for 10+ yards every time. Their QB never kept it, but we (Purdue) still got faked and never learned. That was the most disappointing part imo.
On the bright side, our new QB looks very good, never threw a bad pass, only threw INTs when pressing and none of them were "bad" picks. All the short to medium range throws were right on target, and he was outstanding with his accuracy on the move. Also our "low-talent" senior RB, who was third on the depth chart going in to the spring, and when he was recruited was supposed to "never actually see the field", looked much better than expected.
Considering most teams are playing cupcakes at home, and we played a much better coached (than any time since Ty imo) ND team on the road, I'm still convinced Purdue will win 8 games and make a fairly decent bowl game this year.

final score of the UofL game was 23-16, not impressive.
doesn't matter since their at home, those three times still have more talent in their 2nd and 3rd strings than kentucky.
-
Lmao, you guys are acting like I just said UK was a national title contender.
Look, I haven't seen ESPN do ANYTHING on either Cobb or Locke. Hell, local news barely does anything on them. But really, Is it too far fetched to think that UK couldn't win against Miss St? Vols, maybe not, but seriously, they kinda suck this year. I know our showing at UofL wasn't spectacular, but we have the players to at LEAST get 7-6. Charleston Southern, Vandy, UofL, WKU, AKRON, and toss up Auburn, S.Car or tenn and who knows? I'm just saying.

Losing half the offense and defense didn't help. The talent is there, just not in the right places right now. How bout the Big 10 getting Nebraska? And Purdue gets to be Iowa's protected rival next year.

They WON'T is the real focus here. They "suck" this year? I'll remember that when you lose by 4+ TD's. Only thing you have going for you is Eric Berry left, but they always have someone step up every year.

umm, alabama does not have a cupcake season. our last 6 sec game have a week off before they play us, and we play florida and penn state.
can someone say hardest schedule in the nation? and dont say the stats from the san jose game. we started playing our third string in the second quarter.

The QB should be really good unless they've been making stuff up this whole offseason, the receivers have talent tho only one has experience. That's a pretty good start. Main problem is if you can't stop the run or pass, you're in trouble, and we didn't stop the run, and our secondary is ALL new.
As for Iowa, didn't their QB just get hurt? What's that situation? My opinion on Iowa as the protected rival is that its bad short term, as Iowa is good right now, but it should be good long term, as Iowa is by no means a traditional contender... they are usually happy, like Purdue, to be middle of the pack.

Excellent.... It has begun... :P

Let it continue. Use your anger, it gives you focus.... makes you stronger... :furious

Ricky Stanzi QB went out for 7 plays when his knee buckled under him. Gave us all a flashback moment to last year. But he is all right unless it swells up on him. I think Iowa and Purdue ended up w/each other because all the other protected rivals were already picked. Most people here were going Huh? Purdue? Hang in there Purdue will be back in the hunt before you know it.

BUMP
How 'bout now?
I think aside from our Special teams play and one or two things on our defense, we're a pretty good team this year (UK).
I thought South Carolina played well, and I think Alabama played extremely well.
Go SEC! I predict either Bama or Florida will go to Arizona, play the National Champ game against Ohio State, and clobber them... Maybe in a few years, OH St. :)

Iowa posed another solid win this week. They totally dominated instate rival Iowa State winning 35-7. Iowa State scored in the last 2 minutes of the game as Iowa has started substituting in the third quarter.

Oregon Ducks 48 - Tennessee Volunteers 13 GO DUCKS!!!!!!!! They look impressive, Nuff Said After they thrashed New Mexico 72-0 ( yea i know its New Mexico) i was looking forward to the Tennessee game to see how they do against a better school and the results speak for themselves, It's going to be a great football season :rock and of course USC is over ranked as always
-
I like UK's offensive productivity, Hartline is developing into a solid QB.
Defense has been a pleasant surprise as they have made leaps and bounds from last year. Need to get cleaned up in some places but I think we'll be ready to give a fight once we go to the Swamp.
Special Teams... No comment. :rofl

LSU, FTW. haha Ayeee.
