We beat Louisiana Monroe by 2 and Central michigan by 10 in 06. And that team won more SEC games than any team Kentucky has has since the rich brooks era began. They ended the year 7-5 with a loss to louisville. We then proceeded to beat clemson like they stole something for three quarters, with them making a comeback in the fourth to make the score look close. This right here pretty much destroys your argument. THESE GAMES DON'T MATTER. As long as it is a win it counts towards bowl eligibilty. The staff knew this team would need some time to develop. That is why there were two bad teams to begin the year. Along with a step up in competition for SEC play. went from.

WKU who was awful to
CMU who is alright to
U of L who in the preseason was supposed to be good.

This was not without purpose there is a good reason it was scheduled like this the staff knew that they would have a young team, A young team would be a disaster without a few real games to build on. This also was good in the fact that our line was hurt for the first two week it was pure luck that it happened in this fashion, but will be a huge break for this team. Mainly in that the offense will run differently when the O-Line is intact.

Nuhu. You said every year UK struggles against inferior competition. I just pointed out last year where we didn't.
Actually every game does matter. UK has barely made a bowl game the last few years and they had to have every single one of those wins against inferior teams to become bowl eligible. So yes, to UK those games do matter, A LOT. If UK scheduled a decent OOC schedule they wouldn't have made 5 straight bowls. But I don't blame them for the schedule they've had. No reason to make your schedule harder than it is, when you're a lower tier team in the SEC. I know it sounds like I'm hating on UK, but it's just the truth. I wish I could say we had a good team(or even an average team) this year, but we don't.
