Kentucky at Louisville: Open Game Thread

Enjoy our fancy new interface.

Go Cats!

Its GAME TIME!!!

C A T S CATS CATS CATS!!!!

… for his first touchback of the new season.

Yes!

… not keeping their block on the outside. Arrrgghh.

We gotta run it better than we are.

Not a bad first series though. Completed passes have to help Hartline’s confidence.

… is just not getting it done.

Nice blocked punt.

We need to convert this first down.

… Sieber can’t connect. We have got to establish a running game, but Louisville is putting eight in the box. They know Hartline is inaccurate deep, and they are making us pay.

… Score a touchdown.

I like it.

… what I expected — a defensive struggle.

I like a defensive struggle from a UK standpoint. Our defense has been utterly excellent.

Here’s hoping to a 10-1 SEC start! (11-1 pending. ;-) )

Ive NEVER understood how the play clock can get away from you. I know its a new rule, i know its a new QB, but my goah, it happened last year and it happened now…nice pass on the next play but guess what, were 4 yrds short..but for that miscue!! aghhhhhh !!
GO CATS!!

Awesome punt!!

SACK!!!!!

Fourth quarter time…lets end this thing with a early score!

Lindley to the 2.

That TD should do it.

I’m a hoops kinda girl, so I don’t pretend to understand the fine points of football, but would it be safe to say that the only points louisville has scored today were scored for them by kentucky?

… By McClinton.

Our defense is legit.

72 yards. Speed? Well, just enough.

Pryor’s 72 yd run was awesome.

SWEET VALIDATION!!!

I thought that we were clearly superior to UofL at every position but QB but didnt want to stick a foot in my mouth because we are Kentucky. Its great to see a W to start the season.

… for the first time in 10 years.

Great victory. Defense is simply amazing.

Postmortem coming soon.

That actually does look like a defense that belongs in the SEC!

Way to protect SEC pride, and also do it against a bitter OOC rival! CONGRATULATIONS and enjoy the win!

VERY nice win. Our defense is fantastic! But our O-line was absolutely terrible – let’s get this fixed over the next 3 weeks.

Go Cats!

It seemed to me that Cantwell had alot of time to throw most of the day….

He couldnt hit anyone very often!

It’s that he CantThrowWell.

Did not see this live thread. Anyway a great win by our defensive line.

Oh…I am so thrilled with this win!!!!

You are so right Gator……Worried SEC QB’s will pick us apart unless our secondary is on ALL day long!

I honestly don’t know if our defense is that good; or if UofL’s offense is just that bad.

I’ll be watching the Cards closely over the next few weeks to see if I can’t get a measure of what our defense really accomplished today.

Based on your analysis UK won because of 5 (TO battle) 4 ( although unspectacular, Hartline played with poise) 1 ( D-Line put enough pressure on Can’t Throw Well) 2 (Jones? was picked on all day long and Lindley was everywhere) 3 ( well we know how the backs performed, although it looked like Locke was getting better each carry)

So, the defense carried us to victory while the offense was patient although not dominant. It being the first game I am not too worried bout the kinks on defense. Few “puff” games to work them out. The offense will have to step up if we are to win a game in the SEC. Obvious I know, but I believe Coach Phillips will rectify that. It was nice to see Hartline not crumble or throw any interceptions. The safety was a mistake but I’ll take that in the first game, even with it being such a big rivalry and all.

Great win for continued recruiting bragging rights in-state!!!!!

GO BIG BLUE!!!!!

excellent job!! I noted on another thread that his breakdown of the UK squad was better than any preseason mag, online site or any other publication dealing with college football. He is an invaluable asset to this site which continues to be my HOME for UK news, commentary and insight.
