Texas - Kentucky Game Thread

Well, the defense gets an "A" today. Wisner gets an "A+" - he performed huge. Worried about Ewers. Aggy defense likely to be headhunting next week- hope Arch is ready to step up.
 
Is it wrong of me not to have an orgasm after beating a team that was 1-6 in conference play prior to today (or whatever they were)?

I don’t have orgasms watching football, not that there is anything wrong with that.
But Kentucky got Four starters back on defense for this game who had been out for a month. Scoring 30+ against them was a strong performance. Especially when their defensive backs were mugging our receivers all game. The non call in the end zone was pathetic.
But the offensive line beat down of the Cat D on the 85 yard all run drive to ice the game was an incredible show of strength. The O line made a statement.

Ewers was outstanding today. His toughness and leadership inspired the team, as he fought through the ankle injury.
This game bodes well for the rest of this season, imho.

We have won 10 games in consecutive seasons for the first time since 2008-2009. Congrats to Sark and the team! Win or lose next week I think we are in the playoffs.
 
Home from the game, and I start with the comment that Texas just won its tenth game for a second straight season, and for me, that is the big takeaway from yesterday. Ten wins is a successful season any way you cut it, especially given the last 15 years of Texas football where this is just the third one since 2009. So yes the second half yesterday was butt freaking ugly from the offense and honest to goodness one more fumble and I was ready to just lose it, but they won and in a ten-win season you are going to have a couple of wins that you just have to gut out like yesterdays second half. Ask Bama and Ole Miss whether they would like ugly gut-it-out wins this morning. So now it's on to aggy and to what is still a winner-take-all game for the SEC title game berth, even with aggy crapping the bed on the plains. Everything this team needs to achieve is still in front of them.
 
Finally made it back out to a game.

1. Crowd was good at the beginning of the game, but when the drives stalled and fumbles starting piling up, you could sense the anti-Ewers sentiment among young and old.

2. That Boley kid has the same kind of attitude as past QBs we've hated, like Mayfield. He's talented, too.

3. I'm not sure what our RBs problem is with ball security. It reminds me of that weird year with Malcolm Brown and Johnathan Gray and they seemed to fumble at every key moment of every big game. We spent big money to keep Tashard Choice here, but the fumbles need to be addressed.

4. Ewers playing at or around 60 percent isn't going to get it done against A&M, UGA in the CCG, or a bowl game.

5. The Edge guys are finally making that impact that I thought we would have seen at the beginning of the season.

6. The ride side of the OL is still making high school mistakes. Quinn kind of throws them a bone and looks at an option on that side of the play, but that invariably ends up becoming a check down or negative play.
