Kentucky will be in Nashville or Memphis depending on what they want to do with Vanderbilt. It is interesting because they would get the higher bowl because they beat Kentucky but Nashville isn't very interested in them because of them being in Nashville the lose all of the money from hotels and things like that.
As for the game, which I was at, Kentucky just didn't play. They stacked the box on our offense and we can't throw down field good enough to get them out of the box, no matter which qb is back there. And when we do we dont have a WR good enough to go down field and catch it.
Two plays I want to point out on defense. First the interference call on David Jones in the first half was horrible. Made me mad, because the guy who called it had no business making the calll. Not saying Kentucky got cheated or anything, that was just a bad one.
Second I watched the tv version once I got home and they bashed Jones for getting burnt on the long td pass in the third. But if they had much sense they would see Kentucky was in the zone defense and our safety was lost. Brooks said in the post game show that the safety missed the assignment. But I don't know why we are in cover 2 and cover 3 against them as much as they run.
I follow Kentucky football a lot and changing the defensive style around the end of the season don't make sense, because we never zone.
As for the QB situation, the reason that Hartline looked better was for the same reason Cobb did earlier in the year, Tennessee didn't prepare for Hartline and it caught them off guard. I think Cobb gives us the best chance in a bowl game because we can design some things that will work for a game only and no more. But we had two weeks to do that this time, but didn't so who knows.
Sorry about the long post, I was just really hoping to get the victory this year.
But hats off to fat Phil, like him or hate him, the man is a good coach and it's sad to see him go, and UT will regret it, it was only last year they were in the SEC title game giving the National Champs all they wanted.
I talked with a lot of the UT fans before the game and they were all very mad about the situation and most of them wished us luck and said if it wasn't Fulmer's last game they would pull for us because we have more to play for. I had a lot of fans tell me that.
