Max Smith played a great game until he got hurt. Drops by the reviewers were a killer.

Unforced turnovers as well. 2nd and five inside the 20 and you panic and throw into double coverage. Good god I was screaming NO before he threw it.

The defense did play well enough to win today. Drops and turnovers left at least 3tds on the field.

My biggest disappointment is the UK fans. They were into it for the first half. As soon as UK hot behind they sit on there hands or leave. Pitiful!

Teams feed of if the energy in a stadium. Help these guys put why they grow up.

Whitlow is a horrible QB.
Talk about a momentum killer when Smith is doing great and you put in Whitlow to run a freaking wildcat play where he fumbles the first time he touches the ball.
Im sick of seeing the back and forth between QB's.
Just put the kid at WR already.

I'm not sure what game you two were watching, but Max Smith missed on just as many passes (maybe more) than passes we had dropped by receivers. Including what could have been a pick six on his first or second pass attempt if Montgomery didn't make the transition to DB and rip it away from the Corner. I'm not arguing the fumble by Whitlow, you must protect the ball at all times. Whitlow is dangerous as a read option type QB or as a Wildcat package type guy. I think he should get 10-15 touches a game, but from a variety of places (QB and WR). But more importantly than that, there wasn't a 2nd and short or 3rd and short that our backs didn't get hit 2-3 yards deep in the backfield. O-line is missing assignments or just getting whipped. I knew that would be our biggest weakness but as of right now we don't have a Sun Belt quality O-line. After breaking down the film this morning of the game it was poor play all around by the offense from QB missing receivers, RB's running uninspired, WR's dropping balls and O-line missing assignments.

The Good- defensive schemes switching from 4-3 and shutting down the run to going to a 3-4 and getting after bridgewater on expected passing downs was very effective. D-line looked much better, LB play was improved as well as DB play (but still worries me).

The young guys are impressing with every opportunity they get and should be big time playmakers during their career.
