Since last week it seems like “Bill Curry Ball” is creeping back in. The offense is so predictable that a novice can see what Kentucky is going to do next. Special teams looked like a deer in headlights. Rich Brooks should not criticize us for criticizing him or his players when they do bad; they sure want a pat on the back when they do well. In any profession in life, you must learn to deal with negativity, that’s how you grow. Lots of 18 year olds take criticism in the service or flipping burgers at a local burger joint; that’s life. No matter how you look at it, Kentucky embarrassed our town and state today with that debacle. I sure as Hell hope we don’t see that again this year.
I’m really stunned that Coach Brooks still seems unconvinced that the UK offense is better (MUCH better) with Cobb at QB. Coach brooks continues to say how far advanced Hartline is on reading coverage and knowing the offense….this just makes me laugh. This “knowledge” has obviously translated into absolutely nothing performance wise.
While its true Hartline had a good 4th quarter last week…but this week was a confirmation that he is not the man for the job.
Fact: Cobb is a Leader that his teammates respond to. Cobb is dynamic to have the ability to create a play each snap. Cobb needs to touch the ball every play, not just when he catches a pass.
Summary: Hartline shouldnt start another game.
Just looked like Tubby Brooks will continue paling Saul Hartline for the season, and maybe further!!
Even Ray Charles could see what is happening or not happening in UK football.
I’m sure Hartline is a great person, just not the person to try and quarterback the Cats.
We are in the SEC season now and this is real FOOTBALL.
I still wish for great UK FOOTBALL, also for a true football literate coach and staff.
I believe we have some quality players but the head always controls the rest of the body parts and that’s our problem.
Lets not regress again lets forge ahead and make WHATEVER CHANGES NEED TO BE MADE—NOW
