That may have been the worst play calling I have ever seen in a football game. First you take the ball out of the hands of your unquestioned best player all night long. The defense gives you life with a TD.

You get to OT and surely Snell is going to get the ball. Nope, not one single time. Unbelievable.

A&M put the ball in their bellcow running back hands and he wins the game.

Definitely not one of Gran’s better performances. I think these guys outsmart themselves sometimes. Just dance with the one that brung ya.

Absolutely correct. I am hopeful that Terry Wilson uses this as a learning experience. Throw the ball away!!!

It was ugly, but on the bright side we lost to A&M in overtime on THEIR field. This is a good wildcat team that just got a wake up call. We did not handle success well and now it is time to move forward.

Sad thing is he should have never been in that position to have to make a decision. Just hand the ball off.

What it did prove is that UK can’t throw the ball at all, but yet they dropped back to pass 31 times in a game they led or were tied for nearly 50 minutes. The play calling all night just did not make sense. It’s like they read the stats going into the game and said, “well, they are #3 in the nation against the run so I guess we can’t run Benny and will have to throw the ball”.

Really disappointed with that performance from the coaches.

I blame the loss on the OC. I can’t blame the players. Lack of throwing hurt them, in this game. Kentucky has a QB with an accurate arm on the bench. He could have played. The OC made the choice to keep him on the bench.

They have two tough games left, Missouri and Georgia They have a chance to beat Missouri if they fix the passing game Theyvhave zero chance to beat Georgia. This is still a much better team than they have had in the past.

I' m not being modest when I say I'm no expert but even I found the call playing suspect. I'm still excited about this team and am looking forward to the rest if the season.

Touchdown Terry cant win a game with his arm. Keeping him in that game would have been fine, if they had hitched their wagon to Benny Snell.

I am no expert, but if I were coach, I would have run Snell at the wildcat in OT and replaced the QB with an extra TE

We definitely blew it. We may also disappear from the rankings after this. Good thing we have an off week and a game with Vandy next. That may help us with the rankings but GA after that will not help us. I think we still have a chance for 9 wins but not much chance for 10.

I hope Benny realizes talking a big game doesn't win it. You have to perform on the field......every week. He has had a couple of short games now and the defenses are being keyed to him from here on. All this talk about Heisman needs to be forgotten and his blockers need to concentrate on making some better holes for him.

I dont believe the QB is a chicken, either. I think the coaches told him to slide early

KY drops to number 20 in the recent Poll!

Posted by Bama Cat (Member # 153) on 10-08-2018, 09:23 AM:

Luckily we didn't lose all our supporters in the poll. An off week may not help us to stay there either.

Next game is Vandy on Oct. 20th who have lost 3 of their last 4 games.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 10-09-2018, 06:35 AM:

I think we'll hold steady thru our bye week. The college football nation is beginning to realize that our defense is top 10 in the nation!

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 10-09-2018, 06:52 PM:

Our total defense is ranked 14th in the country and our total offense is ranked 97th in the country.
