Author Topic: Stoops wishes he had a magic formula catmandoo Player Member # 1284 posted 11-12-2014 05:23 PM                     Hopefully they will be up for the challenge and put a "W" in the win column. Kentucky coach Mark Stoops says his challenge is getting across to the whole team about the way he wants the Wildcats to play Saturday at Tennessee. “The bottom line is you gotta get to the whole team. So if you’ve watched us, we come out and we play lights out on one side of the ball or the other. Two weeks ago, everybody was talking about how good the defense played and how poor the offense played, right? At Missouri, right? You know, and played a very good special-teams game against a very good special-teams unit at Missouri. And then we played bad offensively. Then we come back the next week and we play terrible defensively and play pretty efficient offensively and poor on special teams,” Stoops said. “If we had the magic formula – if I could wave that magic wand and get to every (one of the) 100 guys, then we’d be winning. You know what I mean? It’s just – it’s a mystery. It’s frustrating because we’re inconsistent. To beat good football teams, you have to play good – or at least as good as you can – in all phases. We haven’t done that lately, and that’s what gets frustrating. I’m tired of going back and forth where the offense plays well and then the defense and vice versa and all that. We need to be a complete football team, and we haven’t done that. So you’re always reaching for that magic formula. So we’ll see.” Link -------------------- http://www.ukfightsong.com/ Posts: 186359 | From: st. augustine florida 32092 | Registered: Mar 2001  |  IP: Logged catmandoo Player Member # 1284 posted 11-12-2014 10:33 PM                     Saturday is a huge game and the players have got to step and give 100%. I would think getting a chance to play in a bowl game would be enough incentive to give a 110 percent. -------------------- http://www.ukfightsong.com/ Posts: 186359 | From: st. augustine florida 32092 | Registered: Mar 2001  |  IP: Logged m hamilton Player Member # 127 posted 11-13-2014 06:42 AM                     I sure wished this one was at home! -------------------- The potus is planning 1st major tax hike since '93 in next economic package!

Our defense needs to play their best game yet to give us a chance. Dobbs is a running threat QB and we struggle against those kind of QB's (except we did okay against Prescott). I sure hope we beat the Vols. It would be nice to get bowl eligible. Go Big Blue! -------------------- Romans 8:38-39 JD4U Posts: 2307 | From: Enterprise, AL | Registered: Oct 2007  |  IP: Logged m hamilton Player Member # 127 posted 11-13-2014 08:47 PM                     Don't say that, EC.
