Middle Tenn. St. Blue Raiders at Kentucky Wildcats, Sep 13, 2008 7:00 PM EDT


Btn_football_medium Btn_chat_medium

There is no way, regardless of competition, that going 3-0 is a bad thing at Kentucky.  Yes, four of our first five games have been and will be against inferior competition, but after that, we will not be facing anything but tough.  Alabama at Tuscaloosa, South Carolina, Arkansas, at Florida.  Those games will really test the 'Cats, and it's time for us to make hay while the sun shines, because before long, the weather will get a lot more threatening.  I encourage you to check out Ken's excellent pre-game analysis if you haven't

Today will mark the first time this year that Kentucky has faced the dreaded Spread Option Offense this year.  Kentucky has not shown that it can stop this offense, and it must face it several more times this year, so this is a relatively big test for the defense.  The offense must also prove that it can score consistently against lesser teams, because it is only going to get tougher from here.  To add a little more suspense to this game, Maryland, who MTSU defeated last week, beat #23 Cal today.

Kentucky will be successful if:

  1. The defensive line is able to get pressure on the quarterback consistently.
  2. The linebackers can contain the Spread on the ground.
  3. The 'Cats wins the turnover battle.
  4. UK continues to excel on special teams.
  5. The two headed quarterback works out.

Kentucky will struggle if;

  1. The Blue Raiders move the ball on offense consistently.
  2. The UK offense struggles.
  3. The offense turns the ball over.
  4. The running game fails to materialize.
  5. The Wildcats take MTSU for granted, as they were earlier this week in practice.

3-0 is a good start, and we need this game badly.  Without it, the path to a bowl game gets very much more difficult.

Go, 'Cats!

Just poor.

Hartline has dropped at least 3 balls this year in his throwing motion. How do you do that?

A Sea of Blue -- Kentucky Sports for the Discerning Fan

by Truzenzuzex on Sep 13, 2008 9:22 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

In many ways,

I consider him the anti-Woodson. While Woodson would hold onto the ball until he’s sacked, Hartline throws the ball away at the slightest pressure or drops it in his motion.

Hartline...

is coming along fine. I think he played very well considering that he had no help from the running game and very little help from his receivers, with the exception of Dicky Lyons Jr. in the second half.

The offensive line simply must get better, and at this point in the season I am becoming more and more pessimistic that that is going to happen.

I was in the stadium...

and thought we have lost. Deng, Coach Brooks need to do something to calm the team’s nerve in situation like this.

Hartline

This isn’t working. ~4 yards per attempt just won’t work – without any credible threat to stretch the field, everyone will be sitting on these slants, and we’ll see a LB going the other way with the football. I hope Cobb’s injury is not that severe, or we can do something with Hartline over the next 2 weeks, but we have got to improve this offense if we want to be competitive in the SEC.

C! A! T! S! CATS! CATS! CATS!

I couldn't disagree more...

As I said before, with the exception of the fumble, Hartline played a hell of a game. He had no help from the running game at all, and very little help from his receivers. When you’re throwing to guys who don’t know which route to run, who drop balls, and who run out of bounds for no reason, it’s difficult to stretch the field.

Hartline is coming along fine. It’s the people around him who aren’t getting the job done.

Plus, I’ve heard Cobb is out 6-8 weeks, so frankly it’s time to get on board and accept that Hartline is going to be the man for this year.

The offensive line and the wide receivers must improve for this offense to be successful. If they do not, it’s going to be a long SEC schedule…
