Kentucky going to win..but they didn't impress me..free throw shooting horrible..all these Freshmen phenoms aren't very good..except for lowest ranked one Reed Shepherd...
 
People keep talking about scheme in the secondary, but go back to year 1 under Heupel. We played much more man coverage. Alontae was lock down. Theo was solid, but the rest of our DBs got cooked like Thanksgiving turkey in a deep fryer. Warren Burrell played with great technique that year and gave up chunk plays one after the next. It isn't the coaching or scheme in the secondary as much as it is lack of ability. If you think these guys look bad giving up 3rd and 8+ in zone coverage, imagine getting hit deep 4-5 times a game by everybody. That's what we're working with right now. Especially after key injuries. We need more talent to be developed, to know if WM can coach them up or not. He helped Alontae. He helped Hadden, and Theo Jackson went from a little recognized back up to SEC terror in this scheme.

Facts are whatever you seem to make them out to be. They're not better at all when you consider two things, our opponents last year and not having a prolific offense to disguise the pathetic defense.
The crap O has led to making the D look worse as well. Injuries, depth, and Joe’s three and outs are big contributing factors and facts. Plus our older guys are either playing out of position or just not great players.
