This game reminded me of the Auburn game. It was apparent early we came to play and our D smothering then and O scoring demoralized them exactly like we did Auburn.
These 2 games have been very different than any game under the past 3 coaches. Under those 3, even with big leads we never truly demoralized the other team, and certainly never did it against SEC teams. Sure we would get big leads but we never made the other team quit and there was always that overwhelming sense that it was gonna change at any moment and we could blow the game.
Sure during the Auburn game I was hesitant to get excited til the final whistle but after that game I had no problem doing it very early in this game. UK had the same look and body language as the Auburn players and that’s all I needed to know that we had won the game even before halftime.
It’s a great feeling and it’s only gonna get better with recruiting and more time to coach these kids up.
