I wasn't impressed. And I know my opinion matters little but it still...

I bet Wanya and Brandon Kennedy were. not to mention Tatum who was embarrassed repeatedly on Saturday.

We play UAB at 100% and it's even more of a blowout. They are a solid defense, but with our schedule they'd be lucky to be top 50. We're one of the worse offenses in the nation and hung 23 (should have been more) in the 1st half.

But yeah, they held their own I guess. Figured we'd go for more than 302 yards.

They aren't 5th in the nation. But they do have some pieces. I do think they are better than KY or Vandy. But it is something to note that they got more pressure on us than SC did.

Morris more so than Tatum

Come on Bass, you're the sunshine pumper...HOW DARE YOU!?!


UAB's "elite" defense had 2 sacks playing against a banged up line with a one handed QB who is known to hold the ball far too long.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Another fun Mehlen fact. He has lost every ranked vs ranked matchup in which he had the higher ranked team.

Hubbs says he Steele cannot rule out Auburn’s DC for the FSU job.

Hubbs can't rule me out for the FSU job either. Any other wild guesses he wants throw out there?




Update: He can rule me out. I've told my agent I'm not interested even though they haven't officially offered. Yet.

I don't think I've called them elite, have I? I just said their DL is legit. And they did work over those three dudes I just mentioned on Saturday. It isn't just what they did in the passing game. They stoned our running game consistently. We averaged 3.1 ypc against them for a total of 121 yards. For comparison, we ran for 3.5 ypc against SC, 4.1 ypc against Bama, and 4.3 ypc against MSU.

Whatever it is, JJ is a whole different animal this year. He didn't takeover last year. This year he's become a specialist at getting open. It's crazy.

Though I was also hoping more out of MC and Palmer too.

Just want Tee to get some elite WR recruits in here at this point. JJ could be a selling point.

It is really hard for me to complain about our WRs production, it is not them...it is the QB.

I do have a problem with Palmer dropping so many semi-catchable balls. I know JG isn't very good at getting the ball in the radius, or at the right time, but that just makes it more important that you make the catch when you can get your hands on it...gotta make those tough catches.

I am growing a beard for the first time in my almost 33 years. Every morning my 3yo comes downstairs and yells "YOUR FACE IS WEIRD" right before I walk out the door.

I did that 3 years ago. Still have it and couldn’t imagine my face without now. Beware. Lol.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Kentucky has played 2 top 10 teams and is only giving up 21.2 a game...I don't think UAB's defense is anywhere near the same league as theirs.

UAB "held" us to 302 yards, but gave up 30 in 3 quarters to a 92nd rated scoring offense (which was lower before the game) with a one handed QB playing.

Their defense is highly overrated, since they haven't even managed to play a single team with a higher rated scoring offense than us. 3 of their next 4 opponents are better offenses than us though, so we'll see where they end up.

Had the same team (health & energy) that played South Carolina played UAB we would have hung 50+ on them.

 

[Crazy Ivan]

I agree with this but imo we were somewhat conservative also and JG has a damn broken hand. Wonder what it would’ve been had mauer played

It certainly didn't help having Wright and Jahmir out, plus Morris being hampered with the shoulder injury, although his real problem was with the speed of that edge rusher. But I think you are correct that the staff was pretty conservative with the offense as long as UAB didn't really give them any real concerns offensively. I think they want everyone as close to full speed as possible for the last 3-game SEC push.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

How is Leach a matched made in heaven for UK? Does UK even have a real QB or any wide receivers heading into next year? It would be a long rebuild for him to implement his system.

It would not go any different than the Hal Mumme era for them...

 

[HankHill]

Another fun Mehlen fact. He has lost every ranked vs ranked matchup in which he had the higher ranked team.

Lol he’s 3-3 vs top 25 since he took over a 4 win Florida team with wins against #5 LSU, #7 Auburn. A 7point loss vs #8uga and a closer than the score showed 14point loss at #5 LSU. I get youre weird about Mullen but you are reaching bad here lol.

Wasn't Leach Mumme's OC when he was at UK? Or maybe QB coach?

Good post. UAB isn't a bad team or defense, not saying that. What they are is grossly overrated/over-ranked because of how bad their schedule has been. They have a few good players who flashed against us though, we ran a very vanilla gameplan offensively though imo with the OL banged up and JG's injury.

That Pruitt defense is arriving

Bob is providing a smokescreen for Mark. That’s all that is.

I hope we’re healthy enough to win Sat

FSU fans thinking they're getting Bob Stoops only to get Mark Stoops=Currie using Gruden as a smokescreen for Schiano.

Vegas sucks. Too much smoke and crappy food.

 

[butchna]

Looking forward to Miller and Akporoghene lining up next to one another.

One of em playing center?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

When I don’t care? I prove it. Devo’s formed a virtual support group to deal with the injustice and Geaux and you bring him the occasional donut.

Do you want to know why other SEC teams do not have a hostile local media herd of turds like we do? It is because normal SEC fanbases don't put with that crap, much less encourage/enable it.
