I don't mind going for it, but I will say the play choices were bad.

We pick up the 4th and 1 (one of many questionable spots by officials)

after a TO
1st and 10 an incomplete pass... 33 seconds left
2nd down, 9 yard run 21 seconds left
3rd down 3 yard run 13 seconds left
1st and goal a 1 yard run then we take our last TO

So 9 seconds left and it's 2nd & goal...we come out of 2 timeouts (ours then Bama took one after we lined up) and call that horrible pass to the flats that gets picked for a TD the other way.

My question is why in that situation with 9 seconds left are we looking at any pass other than 1 on 1 fade to Brazzell?

It’s the pick six from the worst play call I’ve ever seen. Hell running a FB dive and let that being your last play woulda been better

A run play gives you zero outs.

You have to trust your veteran QB to either make a good throw....or throw it away and take 3.

I'm glad Hype trusts his QB. Otherwise we might as well throw in the towel.

A die hard UGA fan texted me and said she’s never seen a game this horribly officiated this season. Said Bama hasn’t won anything in a few years so they have to elevate their darling again.

She must have missed the TN/GA game then.

Neither of us know that for sure, but I do know that CJH is involved with offensive playcalling and not defensive playcalling outside of perhaps nudging CTB when we have a multiple score lead late in the 4th (Arkansas). But here's the thing. I do not believe CJH is a micromanaging leader. I believe he does offer autonomy to his coaching staff to better prepare them for the next level.

I think our defense (outside of secondary) has tons of talent and are not playing to our potential. Why? Because of two main factors IMO.

1) Scheme. We have become predictable and are not evolving. We are running the same things we ran since 2023. Teams have caught on.

2) Personnel.

a) Here is the number of blue-chip DT's we've signed since 2021:
2026 = D Albert incoming
2025 = Campbell and Utley (True Fresh).
2024 = None.
2023 = Hobbs.
2022 = None (I consider West a DE).
2021 = None
This will not cut it in the SEC. I believe Chop and Garner have started to fix this. We cannot continue to recruit Edge, DE, and LBers, and convert them to DT's.

b) Here is the number of blue-chip Secondary players we've signed since 2021.
2026 = Z Anderson incoming
2025 = Poteat?
2024 = Boo (nickle), Beasley (safety)
2023 = Matthews? (Gipson a 3 star but need him to play)
2022 = None
2021 = None
This will not cut it in the SEC.

Looking further, we didn't recruit well at LB either until we got Inge. Inge is fixing this issue.

2026 = Rouse and White incoming
2025 = Gass, Perlotte, Harmon
2024 = Spillman
2023 - A. Carter (and he plays like it)
2022 = None
2021 = Willis?

Are we going to sign 2 portal DT's (I'm okay with that) and 5+ portal secondary players for next year? I feel great about all offensive positions for next year with both quality and depth. I feel good about the DE and LB positions. I feel good about special teams. I believe Chop and Inge have started to fix the issues in the front 7. But Martinez and Banks are not getting it done with talent nor scheme.

A run play wouldn’t have been a good call either but it does score. Heup also let 12 seconds run off the clock and didn’t call a TO 2 plays before that.

That’s why bama called a TO cause they knew what was coming. Not a single player on bama committed to the run. A terrible awful call

Poster I4Jay nailed it before he was hired. He said our offensive concepts would be majorly upgraded but his teams lack discipline and fundamentals. It’s why he needs a true OC and better DC. He could win championships by changing his staff and taking outside help on a few things.

This is correct... this is what I said... but when will he make the changes and if he will make the changes after 5yrs is what has folks going off...

Some posters just like chaos and drama
Ones like @SmyrnaATLVolisback that live in their parents basement and act like tough guys on the message board lead the brigade
They are the ones us other fans should strive to be like
They are the epitome of excellence when it comes to posting with their true knowledge of the game
They are such good coaches I do wonder why they haven’t been contacted about the opening at PSU, Arkansas, etc due to their abilities
I can’t believe we have won as much as we have with the way some posters say our coaching sucks

Really amazing...that Kentucky vs Texas box score.

Kentucky has 26 first downs to Texas' 8
395 total yards to 179
258 passing yards to 132
137 rushing yards to 47
39:23 TOP to 20:37

And they lost by 3 in OT...How is Stoops still employed?

That's not good. UK has played both OM and Texas very very well at home.

We cannot take them lightly. Throw their record out the window. Another dogfight in store for us.

You have confidence your QB doesn’t make such a horrible throw behind the receiver where you throw it only where he can catch it OR it’s out of bounds. Joey just threw one of his worse throws this year. I’m ok with a fade call to Chris BUT still have to throw it where only he can catch it or out of bounds. Bad throw could still be a big issue.

Depends on how we executed in that 1st quarter.

We outgained Bama and really a few poorly timed penalties (blame officials if ya want, but it's a bad trend our teams have) and a few untimely drops and that game got away from us.

Kentucky isn't Bama though...they will make mistakes and Stoops will play it safe. We have to win the LOS, which we didn't do at Bama.
