KENTUCKY WILDCATS
2014 record: 5-7 - We went 5-1 and then lost 6 in a row. LSU, Tennessee, and Georgia were beat downs, but a terrible onside kick prevented any chance for OT or a miraculous win over #1 Mississippi State and a dropped interception may have been the difference between beating Louisville and going bowling.

Our coach: I won't say anything here. He's only on year 3. At Kentucky.

What's new that sucks: We can't even sellout our first game in a new stadium for one of the most hyped seasons since Brooks was here. We've gotta show fan support for Stoops.

What has always sucked: A lot. We lost to Western Kentucky two years in a row, Louisville's won 4 in a row, Florida's won 28 in a row. We won 2 SEC games last year, which was more than 2012 and 2013 combined (It was 0 combined, 0). We haven't won a road game in years. There is still a lot of pessimism around our program because of how bad it's been. A lot of people believe our program will never take a step towards being a division title competitor. And part of me agrees just because...history. And even if we suddenly become a great program, just about every other SEC team (minus Vanderbilt) will always have a ridiculous win-loss margin against us. We're talking 24-77 against Tennessee. 17-48 against Florida. 16-40 against LSU. 2-36 against Alabama. We only have winning margins against Vanderbilt (42-41, not even a big margin), because Vanderbilt, and against Arkansas (4-3) because of how recent they joined when you consider divisional match-ups. We're tied with Mississippi State at 21 even and we're tied with A&M at 1 even. And for funsies...our overall SEC record? 169-393-20.

Dude, y'all still going to the game?

It is mostly accurate that teams that were keying on McGuire and kept his yards minimal were successful. Those teams were the better teams on our schedule. McGuire's yards were overly biased to the SBC games; OOC his stats were average at best......Ole Miss; Boise, LTURD's McGuire was mostly shut down and a non factor in those games.

Easy game plan for KY......sell out on McGuire and simply let the Cajuns fail to adjust until it's too late. Truth is we have proven that we don't adapt very well during the game. I'd say we are a notch better than terrible at changing with any quickness. We'll go through several possessions of failure before making any wholesale changes to what is happening. Often this has proven to be after we are behind by too big of a margin.

You must have missed Mcguires 100+ receiving yards at Boise. Of course Ole miss was able to shut him down. They'd have shut down Leveon Bell if he played that game with our offense in that mismatch. That's not a lnock on Eli. Remember when we shut down Ronnie Hillman by focusing solely on him? Hillman is still a stud, so is Eli.....

Ouch! This is from further down the page.

"Thanks for the write up as always, but I have to disagree with one thing. McGuire isn't a "stud". He struggled against most of his better competition last year. He may be good at ULL's level, but that's about it."

Silly Wabbit....

Seemed like we only ran McGuire up the middle the whole game and used him as our power back like we did with Harris. Not sure he is built for that kind of pounding every week. We didn't utilize his speed on the outside, only on a couple of pass routes. Hope we mix up the play calling going forward to better take advantage of his running ability and not let the defense key on stopping the run up the middle.

He's the biggest/strongest back we have. Somebody had to pound for tough yards against that defensive front. That was a big part of our being able to control the clock. in time I think we will see more rotation at running back.

I understand that, but we never mixed any outside runs against that defensive front that I recall. Would have been nice to see him on the edge and not just up the middle all night.
