    You may be right but these announcers usually call every position, referee. Can you tell I don't like announcers?

      Justin Rogers was consistently manhandled on that last series. He wasn't impressive. I'd been waiting to see him play, with a lot of optimism.

        60 point loss. Whew!!!!

        One stat guy said online that was the worst loss differential since 1996. Against Florida.


        Not much good out of this one, and I'm pollyanna all day.

        Hope all that are able enjoy church services tomorrow.

        Good night all.

          Glad some younger players got to play...

          I hope we stop talking about winning the SEC east in preseason.

            Sad performance by our players and our coaching staff.

                A few players have been calling out Eddie Gran and that is not a good thing. I know we were without a bunch of players so an uphill battle became the side of a mountain, but something about this team has not gelled, from the top down.

                  After a 60 point whopping , nobody should be pointing fingers at any individual player or coach, this was a TEAM collapse, and while Bama is #1 we should be ashamed to lose to anyone this badly.

                    Perhaps we expected soooooooo much, but this team certainly has been one of the flakier teams of coach Stoops run.

                    As far as pointing fingers at coach Gran, a team that pretty much lies down and gets 60 points hung on you should really, really, really look in the mirror.

                      Gotta get some speed/separation from our wrs. We need a gameplan to implement it. We need a qb who can make the throws. We need a complete overhaul of offrnsive philosophy because if you aren't super deep and talented the smashmouth game only works against bad/mediocre teams.

                        Kentucky would probably finish 8-4 this year with a normal schedule.

                        Losses to Georgia, Florida, Missouri and Auburn.

                        Wins against Mississippi State, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, and four out of conference teams.

                        No Ole Miss or Alabama on the schedule if not for COVID related schedule changes.

                        8-4 and on to the Outback Bowl, most likely, to play (and probably beat) someone like Iowa or Wisconsin for a 9-4 finish in the Top 25.

                          I noticed something while Allen was in at QB. Wilson and Gatewood were talking and looking out on the field. From their body language, they were not happy with what was going on. We sure don't need this kind of disruption.

                            This team SHOULD have beaten Mississippi and Missouri. The once in decades win at Tennessee plus the wins over State, Vanderbilt and South Carolina would have been an unheard of 6 win SEC record for Kentucky.

                            I always saw losses to Alabama, Auburn, Florida and Georgia.

                            For me...the ole Miss loss and the not showing up against Missouri were the true doom of this season.

                            One of saddest parts is now I would not be surprised to see Kentucky lose to both Florida and South Carolina.

                              What doomed this season was being forced to play 10 SEC games.It exsposed UK for what it is in football, a poor to mediocre SEC team. That has been true for 60 years and it is true today. Without 3 bums and a depleted UL on the schedule to hide our mediocrity we are having our faces rubbed into the turf by our SEC brethren. Maybe some day UK will rise into the upper echelons of the league but it will not be with this staff.

                                This is likely the wrong time to write this, but coach made a comment earlier this week that what he saw was players playing for stats, not team. Not going for 50/50 balls, not playing positions. Okay.
                                why tolerate it if you see it? I've watched Saban and Smart personally lecture players after hurting the team, pulling them and sitting them. There comes a point as head coach that you gotta say 'guys, if you're gonna lose, at least you're gonna play and play it right.'
                                I dont see that. Havent more than once. I've seen PLAYERS step up and take charge...Allen, Snell, Bowden...to name some. But our COACHES seem hesitant to be enforcers.
                                i really like Coach and what he has done....but this many years in and to lose by 60 and two qbs laughing on the sideline while the third gets sacked twice is pretty unacceptable.
                                Staff lost this crew somewhere. Dont know where. Just a really, really, really bitter disappointment with last years success and a huge number of returnees...including a true quarterback.

                                Dunno. Seems like looking back, season ended in Missouri.
