Thoughts?

Kentucky football will always live in the shadow of basketball in this state, and fans have had modest expectations every year it seems like. But if UK can get 6 or more wins this season, make a bowl, fans will accept that. Talking to some friends who follow UK, they were hoping for more a more dominance performance, especially against a team like Toledo. A win is a win but the way they looked today was far from dominate. 

If I was a UK fan, a close game like today would no doubt cause me to worry. Now it could just be early season rust or underestimating Toledo. Then again it could be another Stoops offensive and defensive team. I don't think it was the kind of opening game fans were hoping for heading to a much tougher SEC schedule. But if the CATS can get things going and pick up a few wins in the conference, they will be back in the hunt for a nice bowl and Stoops will survive another year.
