    Spot on, in my opinion.

      This falls on Stoops for not having this team prepared.

      This team isn't good enough to win against anyone by just by walking on the field.

      Towles was bad, still missing targets.

      EKU controlled the line of scrimmage.

      Shame on Dawson for not spreading the offense to get EKU into one on one matchups.

      If you're going to run a Baylor like offense, spread them out further and get the OLBs/safeties to commit to the perimeter.

      Defensively, I know it's a 3-4 but that they need more in the box.

        Swindle had an injury, a groin pull I think.

        Stoops said the team had a good week of practice.

        I think the team fell for the cheese in the proverbial trap. I think if Stoops had it to do over again he wouldn't have talked last week about how Barker and other reserves were going to play against EKU. I don't think we'll see that again. I think it set the wrong tone for the team, and probably has left some reserves and their family members pretty disappointed.

        The Boom Williams situation was probably an unwelcome distraction also. Hopefully it is completely history now.

          Why so negative? If we play like we did against Missouri we have a very good chance in all of them.

            UK played like I felt during this game, very disinterested. I couldn't get into this game at all. Me and the wife ended up watching a movie at about halftime. When I turned it back on they were headed to OT. I just watched the 2nd half. UK actually made a great comeback. But you don't want to do that against an FCS team. It would have been more impressive against Florida. I still don't know how Baker made that catch in the end zone. Obviously UK was very very lucky this game. Play like this the rest of the season and they won't win another game. But they did win this one and are 4-1. Still very much in line for a bowl game which is the man goal this season. They need the time off now to get ready for that gauntlet of SEC games.

              I didn't know being accurate was negative. Thanks for the education. I mean, just who knew?

                I think maybe the Coaches fell for the cheese too. We all know that once in the trap, it's very hard to escape. Glad we won, but hopeful the whole team learns to prepare mentally for every game.

                  You nailed it, in my opinion, Lighthouse.

                    I walked out of with the rest of the unhappy fans, halfway through the 4th Qtr. I'm glad they came back for the win. And I hope the team got their feelings hurt when people left the game. I honestly believe that's what helped bring them back to playing football. They got mad enough to prove people wrong and made a great comeback.

                    Towels was making bad decisions and the defense was gassed after spending so much time on the field in the first half because the offense couldn't sustain a drive.

                      When you only list the worst case scenario I would say that is leaning towards the negative side.

                        It says nothing about where I'm leaning. It's not an opinion of how I think we will play.
