We’re gonna see a strong running team against a not so strong run defense. Kentucky will slow the Dawgs early, but some short throws and screens will loosen them up a bit, and the Dawgs roll.
DAWGS 31 kitties 16
If anyone can watch this game tonight and think UK is moving in the right direction is out of their mind. What were those 6 calls in the fourth quarter from inside the five. And we\’re going to be stuck with Joker Phillips after the current hapless coach leaves.
I was very suprised that Kentucky was unable to stop the run even playing man and putting 8 in the box. I thought surely we’d be forced to throw it more to move the ball, and that scared me a little. I’d be worried less about offensive playcalling and more about a defense that was torched for 350 on the ground. Playing with a freshman at Qb (or a midget) is frustrating, but your defense lost that game. They knew what was coming, and were powerless to stop it.
