We played an SEC school under horrible road conditions. They were favored heavily and justifiably so. We were not really expecting a win, but we did expect to cover. What did we learn last night?
  • We need a cornerback—that and a secondary that can tackle. Poor tackling killed us. We are not as deep as we thought.
  • Discipline regarding smack talk. No excuse for this. It started last year and should be addressed now.
  • We are lacking in the pass rush.
  • If you are dumb enough to call a fake punt that deep, put the fastest person to run the ball. Playcalling was not based on the best personnel.
  • More work must be done on special teams. That was a sore area.
  • We need to use Crawford more, especially at the seven-yard line.
What was improved?
  • It is difficult to determine the condition of the OL against the quality of Kentucky's D. If it is better than last year, it will be determined against SF.
  • OL did not constantly false start.
  • Speed at WR is better.
  • QB play, in general, is better.
I believe we will still have at least a six-win season. The players will gel as a team, and the schedule will become more favorable to us. Win two of the first four games, and we will be in good shape. Perhaps our luck will change. We will get some good refs and breaks. Not a time to panic.
