#1 is also overrated and played with hardly any passion. IMO, Kentucky was never close in this game despite the score.
I was at the KY game and high up in stands easy to see offensive schemes. Those Stoops boys know how to coach. The coaching staff may be the difference in our game. If you are only 1 touchdown down, it's a close game. The onside kick was tough blow for KY, could see it unfolding up high.
Most coaches keep the speak going with how well coached an opposing team is. In his post game presser, CBJ mentioned Bama's elite players, execution, but never gave credit to well-coached game. Probably because he gets the Bama rivalry and wouldn't give kudos and also because Kiffin made Vols look bad right off the start and is a better offensive mind than CBJ will ever be. CBJ complained to refs about late substitutions that prevented us from adapting our match-ups (and mentioned in presser). Hey, that's what good offenses do to disrupt the defense setting up early on their heels. Surely, in watching tape, this can't be CBJ's first time to see Bama do this. He's just miffed they did it so well to him.
Dobbs the probably starter but CBJ has to keep everyone prepared; never know with game injuries. CBJ is big on the "next in" as was his mentor, Brian Kelly. but, if "next" was that good, he would've have been "first". Dobbs hasn't done enough to show any predictable trend, but hopefully, when pressed out of pocket, his athletic traits take over and he can run. And, granted, with a young team, probably mid season fatigue; Div I lot faster, harder practice, games than high school. The lack of touchbacks/field position from Medley probably result of a bit of leg fatigue at this point in season.
I see Vandy as a probable win; they have more QB issues than we do; but, remaining teams can score points. If we can't start putting more up in red zone, always playing behind.
