Author Topic: Cardinal's balance concerns Stoops catmandoo Player Member # 1284 posted 11-24-2014 04:06 PM                     Louisville is going to be tough no doubt about it. Because Kentucky had an open date last week, UK coach Mark Stoops got to watch Louisville’s win at Notre Dame — and was impressed by what he saw from the Cardinals. “Obviously very impressive win for them. Their coach (Bobby Petrino) is doing a great job. They haven’t missed a beat to what they’ve been doing,” said Stoops as he prepares for Saturday’s game at No. 24 Louisville. “They win a bunch of football games, they play extremely hard. They’re very well‑coached, and that’s an impressive win. They’re playing good football.” Kentucky has lost five straight games — all to Southeastern Conference teams — and needs a win Saturday to become bowl eligible. But Stoops said there will be no drop in physical play because UK is facing Louisville and not a SEC team. “They’re a very good football team that’s physical and they’re balanced,” Stoops said. “You’d have to make your own decision on where they stack up with the rest of the SEC. “I don’t think it’s any secret that coach Petrino does a nice job of setting up his run game and scheming the run game, not so much like some teams (that) are gonna line up and pound you with certain run games. They scheme their run game really well. They have some really good boots (bootlegs) and play actions off of everything, and they keep you off balance. I think that is the key to any good play‑caller is keeping you off balance.” Link -------------------- http://www.ukfightsong.com/ Posts: 186359 | From: st. augustine florida 32092 | Registered: Mar 2001  |  IP: Logged catmandoo Player Member # 1284 posted 11-24-2014 10:22 PM                     Reggie Bonnafon is the key to the game imo and if we can stop or control him we have a shot but if he has a good game it could be a long afternoon for the Cats. -------------------- http://www.ukfightsong.com/ Posts: 186359 | From: st. augustine florida 32092 | Registered: Mar 2001  |  IP: Logged m hamilton Player Member # 127 posted 11-25-2014 06:12 AM                     YEah, if you can contain him to the pocket you have a chance.
