What game did Joker watch? Hartline played pretty well? He only had 4 bad plays? Its not just the turnovers Joker, its the passes he missed behind receivers and over their heads. And even on some completions, he made it difficult for the receivers to make big plays after the catch, because he failed to hit them in stride.
Mike Hartline was praised last year for “managing the game.” Well, he didn’t manage crap today. He lost the game with three turnovers. And whether he had those turnovers or not, he’s incapable of winning a game for UK. Look, I am willing to concede that Mike Hartline is the best we have- but if that is so- then why is that the case?
Regardless, as our schedule lightens up, why not play one of the freshman a few series every game just to get their feet wet. Otherwise, we are going to be stuck with Hartline again next year.
