Looks like the Cats are having their asses handed to them.

Getting outplayed on both lines. Unless that changes this is over

We're not getting any pressure on Lock. He's got all day back there to throw the ball!

Josh Allen evidently has a sprained wrist so he's in and out of the game!

Penalties that keep drives alive will make a coach pull his hair out!

Baker couldn't catch a cold in the dead of winter!

Bowden has to have more touches. Let him run the jet sweep.

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 10-27-2018, 05:36 PM:

Wilson has over 100 yards in the air, but Bowden had 70+ on that one play!

Posted by EnterpriseCat (Member # 2881) on 10-27-2018, 05:42 PM:

No deep threat from our offense is allowing them to crowd the box. Running game won’t work against that defense. Need to connect on a 20-30 yard passat least once to open things up. Maybe Hoak will get a chance (hopefully before we’re 4 TD’s down).

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 10-27-2018, 05:43 PM:

DB's are giving 7 yards on every play. Throw the slant, or the out, whatever. IT'S THERE!!!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 10-27-2018, 05:44 PM:

I'd like to see them at least give Hoak a series!

Posted by m hamilton (Member # 127) on 10-27-2018, 07:01 PM:

Mark Stoops is the person who can keep Snell out of the end zone!

Looks like the Cats surprised a few of our fans.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 10-27-2018, 08:32 PM:

We held them scoreless in the 2nd half and scored 12 points in the 4th quarter for the win. Love it!

Posted by Old Norm (Member # 1482) on 10-27-2018, 08:33 PM:

Sure surprised me. My biggest surprise was, I was keeping up with the game with espn gamecast. They put up the final score Miz 14 UK 9, and I turned it off. Don't know why, but I turned it back on and they had final UK 15, Miz 14. Great win, even if espn did blow the game cast final.

Posted by EnterpriseCat (Member # 2881) on 10-27-2018, 08:46 PM:

I’m glad he put Hoak in. Now we can put him playing ahead of Wilson to rest. Wilson has his flaws, but he is definitely the best option at QB. What a win. Wow! I’m still in shock. Go Big blue!!!

I agree MH. Snell needs to be in the game when we're in the red zone, no matter what!

Snell needs to be in the game when we're in the red zone, if for no other reason than to be a decoy. Play action pass with a running back like him would make a huge difference in passes across the middle! There's not a linebacker alive who won't bite on a ball fake up the middle to Snell!

I watched the entire game on TV, what an exciting finish. Their defense played outstanding in the second half, not letting Missouri get one first down the entire half. The game was won by special teams and the defense, the offense was totally stagnant until that last drive which was about as exciting a finish as I can remember in a football game. Great win for the Cats on an off night.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 10-28-2018, 12:03 PM:

The Cats defense the second half was awfully good holding them scoreless. Wilson passed well also (22-31 and 267 yards) and 1 TD.

IMO Snell was kept out of game for a while due to unsportsman penalty .. No excuse for Snell getting one which btw was the 2nd one for the cats...

Completely agree.

I may be mistaken about this but I believe Snell was in for the winning play of the game. If so, that was a smart coaching move as it may have had the defense keying on him which would have made it easier to complete the TD pass.

That's exactly what happened.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 10-29-2018, 12:50 PM:

We are tie with Georgia in the Eastern Div with 5-1 records and 7-1 season records.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 10-29-2018, 12:52 PM:

Next Saturday we play Georgia at home for the league lead.

Posted by catmandoo (Member # 1284) on 10-29-2018, 01:07 PM:

Georgia is a 12 point favorite but the Cats have been 4-1 this season as an underdog and 5-0 against the spread. We have actually been a double-digit underdog twice this season — at Florida and vs. Mississippi State — and the Wildcats won those games by double digits.
