UK has some nice players. Defensive line is pretty decent. I expected this type of game at Commonwealth. I remember 2007 when U of L was favored....typical rival game. Purdue...who is terrible, played Notre Dame tough. Rival games you throw out the records. As for Bridgewater....the guy is a warrior. Period. He threw the ball efficiently. It's the most pressure he has seen so far this season. He probably won't win the Heisman...but he is in the conversation. U of L has had a long line of great quarterbacks. He has a lot going against him with the schedule. I have watched UK football for over forty years. I have heard the same ole..same ole. It just isn't going to happen. UK will be very competitive if Stoops can keep the recruiting going. But UK will never be a consistently eight..nine win team. They will have some big upsets. They will compete. But the Alabamas, LSU, Georgia, South Carolinas, Floridas, Texas A & M, Tennessees, will always be the big boys. Football to them is like basketball is to UK. Is U of L overrated? I think so. But the Cards are a team that can beat you too. I thought being on the road in our rivals environment and UK desperate to make a statement would make it a decent game. Strong is an SEC guy and he brings his SEC philosophy with him. You have to be able to run the ball to win a NC. Louisville was able to establish that in the second half. Alabama right now looks to be very deserving of number one.

All traditions and powerhouses start somewhere Florida was an also ran in basketball before Billy Donovan. Also Miami is considered a college blue blood in football but really they are new school only being good the last 30 years. Why can't stoops have a Billy Donovan effect on the football program at UK? Also at one point in time ohio state was considered a baskettball school. Then woody Hayes showed up. Point is things change and past history really means very little.
