The roughing the passer call against him was just one of several bad calls the refs made tonight.
They must get paid by the penalty.
Several times tonight flags shoulda stayed in pockets instead being put on the field.

I’ll take our D giving up 4 FG’s on any Saturday and expect a win..still haven’t given up a TD. College football is an offensive game now.. an elite D can win championships.

An elite D with a decent offense NOT the offense we saw tonight. Might need to pump the brakes on the elite Defense talk a little. The run stoppers weren’t elite. And Vandergriff ran all around us and Milroe is going to put on a clinic if we don’t get it figured out. The tackling was not our brand tonight. Lot of whiffs and arm tackling. This plays right into Kirby’s hands though.

Milroe is definitely a better runner than Vandergriff. Gonna strain the DAWG Defense the whole game.

Won’t disagree with anything you’ve said..lots of arm tackling and outside contain. Our LB’s weren’t to be found. Chambliss will cost us in a big game. But they can overcome that. Jackson coming in for late hits and potential spearing is a concern. We dot have a whitey on D worth a damn..take them out.

edge containment seemed really poor last night. I am sure someone that knows football better than me understands why but it looked terrible. We didn't seem physical

Concur on the not physical. I’m don’t think any UK RB carries and very few WR catches went down by the first DAWG Defender to get a hand on them. Lots of sloppy arm tackles attempted.

I think the tackling issues were due to fatigue. D was on the field the whole night. We got good pressure on BVG all night but he is good at escaping and is a good runner.
Either we've been oversold on the talent on O or Bobo sucks. I think Bobo sucks. Beck looked average at best and or WRs could not get any separation. Again, I don't know how much is our talent or Bobo's play calling.
