A tale of two units: Devastating defense and suspect offense

The morning after the Governor's Cup
It feels really good, and I mean really, really good to win the Governor's Cup two years in a row. I have to admit, UK looked better on paper in this game, and first games of the season are often where that matters the most, before experience, coaching and overall comfort with the game begin to...
