Kentucky-Vanderbilt

[Tom Blevins]

Kentucky just went up 3-0 on a 38 yard field goal. Vandy's defense has been TOUGH so far!

Go Big Blue!

[Tom Blevins]

Kentucky 3 Vanderbilt 7 Vanderbilt touchdown after a Kentucky turnover. We need for that to be our last one today.

[misterbluecat]

What a throw by Woodson. 55yd TD to Johnson. 10-7 Cats.

[Tom Blevins]

Kentucky 10 Vanderbilt 7 Woodson to Steve Johnson for a long TD pass! Go Big Blue!! We got the lead again, now let's get the ball back and keep it!

[Tom Blevins]

Kentucky 10 Vanderbilt 13. I'm already sick of hearing that foghorn! Come on Cats, play tough!

[Rockober]

It sounds like there alot of holes in UK's d. UK has killed themselves with penalties. I blieve they have four-15 yard penalties.

I do like UK's chances if this becomes a high scoring game.

[TrueblueCATfan]

I would have thought with Little and Burton back today our offensive would be explosive

[misterbluecat]

Too many penalties. 8 for 90yds thus far. We're getting big plays from the offense, but that's being neutralized by the penalties.

Oh, and not for nothing but the officals haven't helped either. They've made some bad calls or let others slip by on both sides of the ball.

EDIT: Wisconsin won 37-21 over Michigan.

[TrueblueCATfan]

wow..the refs just blew that call..should be KY ball

[largebluej]

if the play had been blown dead, why did they let us challenge in the first place??? We should get our time out back!!!!!

[BigblueDrew]

Good old SEC Officials. Say the play CAN"T be reviewed for being whistled dead and charge us for a time out anyway. Incompatent fools.

[Tom Blevins]

The referees are either totally incompetent or or totally corrupt. Maybe both!

[TrueblueCATfan]

3 BLIND mice......announcers are giving them hell

[misterbluecat]

They deserve it, they blew that call big time. If it was dead, why let us challenge and then charge us the timeout anyway? Lame.

[TrueblueCATfan]

sounds like UK has a great crowd down there in Nashville

[Brandon]

Great kick Lonas!

I love Tom Leach :D

[BigblueDrew]

WHERE DID THEY FIND THIS OLD COOT OFFICIATING THIS GAME!!!!. The worst I've seen in several years.

[TrueblueCATfan]

13-13....tie game after a FG..way to go Lones

[Tom Blevins]

Kentucky 13 Vanderbilt 13! Kentucky ties it on a 54 yard field goal! Kentucky must get better play on both sides of the line in the second half.
I wonder if the injured official will be able to go in the second half. If not, perhaps there is a blind Vanderbilt fan in attendance. He should be able to fill in quite well.

[Matt Dillon]

Officiating not withstanding, we must overcome. If we lose, it'll count the same no matter what the reason.

[Tom Blevins]

Officiating not withstanding, we must overcome. If we lose, it'll count the same no matter what the reason.

You're absolutely right, Matt. I remember a cheer we used to do when I was at Campbellsville College. We just gotta win! I know this is a big game for Vanderbilt, but it is HUGE for us, too. With Mississippi State's win over Alabama today, they became the 10th SEC team to become bowl elgible. Vanderbilt is seeking to become the 11th. There isn't enough post-season gravy to go around and somebody's going to be left out. It is time for Kentucky to get mad and get bad. Or as the Campbellsville College cheerleaders would put it, WE JUST GOTTA WIN!!

[BigblueDrew]

Good drive,4 down territory here I think.

[Tom Blevins]

Yes!! Touchdown! Kentucky 20 Vanderbilt 13. Come on defense! It think it is so important to get a score on our opening drive of the 2nd half.

[misterbluecat]

Man the D needs to step it up. It's tough without #2 in the secondary though.

[BigblueDrew]

On ball official made no call, guy way off the play has to make it, awful officiating. Put one in on this drive and I think Vandy will fold.

[Tom Blevins]

Defensive stop, Kentucky! We bent on Vandy's first drive, but did not break.

[BigblueDrew]

Finally, that paly has been there ALL day.

[bellbrass]

This game reminds me of the UK-Tennessee game in 2002. Every time we went to snap the ball, we had a penalty called on us. It was as if the officials were watching the players only for holding and encroachment and nothing else.

The missed fumble no-call was inexcusable today. They reviewed it and still refused to call it a fumble.

[BigblueDrew]

Same blitz, no adjustment. Crap

[TrueblueCATfan]

Woodson goes down again..come on O-line help your QB out..we needed a score on that drive

[bellbrass]

Officials are trying to call every possible penalty. Two defensive pass interference calls on the same drive! The shootout will be who gets the last penalty, not the last score!

Piecoro: "I've seen better officiating at a PeeWee football game."

After Miss. St., teams are going to blitz us for the whole game. Let's please come up with a solution besides a sack or the dump-off to Little.

[misterbluecat]

Wow, these officials BLOW. TWO pass interference calls on this drive that shouldn't have been called. Well, the first one was close but the 2nd was a clean deflection.

Add the last play on the late hit to the 'Should never have been called'. Good legal hit in bounds. Someone get these officials a clue.

[Tom Blevins]

Officials are getting worse.

[Rockober]

The officiating sounds to be horrendous. As I just heard on the radio, "I've seen better officiating in pee wee football".

The officials are letting this game get out of hand it sounds like.

[bellbrass]

Officials are trying to give the game to Vandy. 3 UK defensive plays, 3 penalties in a row - all bogus!!!!!

On a positive note, it's great to hear all of the UK fans in attendance. Keep booing! :)

[BigblueDrew]

Can, fight city hall folks. Having to play 11 agianst 15 in this one. I really, really HATE SEC officiating.

[bellbrass]

Wow, two plays in a row without a penalty on UK!

[misterbluecat]

They'll probably find some BS reason to call a penalty on us on this 3rd down, like picking our nose or scratching our butts.:icon_mrgreen:

[Tom Blevins]

Well, with all the help the referees gave Vanderbilt, we were able to hold them scoreless for the 3rd quarter. The bad news is, our defense is tired and Vanderbilt is mad after their player got hurt.

[TrueblueCATfan]

come on CATS..lets put this game away....we need it

[misterbluecat]

Wow, NO POINTS for Vandy on that drive. Missed FG. Let's go offense, need a score.

[TrueblueCATfan]

Missed FG..................LETS GO CATS

[Tom Blevins]

Vandy misses their field goal attempt. Now our offense needs to keep the ball and give our defense some rest. (A score would be nice, too.)

[Rockober]

Thank goodness the officials are not kicking fieldgoals;) Vandy misses and UK can take charge with another score here.

[BigblueDrew]

Just a horrible series. Very uninspired play calling by Joker and crap execution by offense.

[TrueblueCATfan]

this sucks.....no score again
what is wrong with our offense..they had 2 weeks off to prepare

[misterbluecat]

Another 3 and done. Just 9 plays for us since our last scoring drive. The D really needs a break and they aren't getting it. Masthay bombed that punt though and the coverage was great.

[Tom Blevins]

Disappionted in our offense on that last drive. 3 and out. Short rest for the defense. Great punt and kick coverage. I think our special teams have outplayed Vanderbilt's special teams today. (so far)

[BigblueDrew]

The defense is gassed. Be lucky to keep the lead.

[Rockober]

3rd and 2. If they don't make it I believe they will go for it.

[BigblueDrew]

Somebody doesn't step up on offense we lose this one.

[Rockober]

Vandy has 227 yards rushing so far.

[BigblueDrew]

WE have been outplayed and OUTCOACHED in this one, very frustrating to watch as we are more talented. Very , very lucky to be ahead.

[Tom Blevins]

Kentucky 20 Vanderbilt 20 Come on offense! Our backs are to the wall and we need a score.

[Rockober]

WE have been outplayed and OUTCOACHED in this one, very frustrating to watch as we are more talented. Very , very lucky to be ahead.

And off a bye week. Tie ball game. UK must score on this drive. Thank goodness Vandy is having trouble kicking field goals and xtra points.

[Rockober]

Cats have 122 yards in penalties. Its hard to win with that many but the CATS still have a great chance.

[BigblueDrew]

This is THE drive of our season IMO. Andre HAS to step up and LEAD. We go three and out and we are in desperate trouble.

[Tom Blevins]

Great return by Burton! Now our offense needs to take it to the end zone!

[Rockober]

Locke "freshman of the year"

[TrueblueCATfan]

what has happened to this team..where is that high powered offense we saw the first 5 games........lets go CATS

[misterbluecat]

THAT is how you play some football. Great drive, good calls on the line by Andre.

[Tom Blevins]

Touchdown Kentucky!! Kentucky 27 Vanderbilt 20 I wish our defense could have got a longer rest, but you have to score when there is an opportunity.

[Rockober]

TD for Locke!! Nice drive CATS. Now all they need to do is hold them one more time. Heres hoping there are less than three flags thrown on this upcoming series.

There's the first flag on the first play. But it's on Vanderbilt!

[TrueblueCATfan]

what happened to Little ..just heard he was hurt again

[Rockober]

Vandy going for it on fourth down

[Tom Blevins]

Now the referees missed a holding call on Vanderbilt.

[Tom Blevins]

what happened to Little ..just heard he was hurt again

I believe the announcers said he took a helmet to the back.

[Rockober]

1:27 left in the game. Can the CATS hang on?

[misterbluecat]

I hope so. They are really playing inspired D this time even though they are look like they are out of gas.

[Tom Blevins]

At least the time out by Vandy will give our defense a little rest.

[Rockober]

This is the third 4th down that Vandy has gone for in this series.

[Rockober]

Vandy out of timeouts. A sack here may put this one away.

[Tom Blevins]

This is the third 4th down that Vandy has gone for in this series.

And the 3rd one they've made. Come on defense, keep them out of the end zone.

[misterbluecat]

Our guys are out of gas. Let's go D. Dig in and stop them!

[Brandon]

BALLGAME!! Awesome job guys!

[misterbluecat]

YEAH! Cats will get #7 on the year. Way to make a stand D.

[Rockober]

Big win!!!!!! Too close for comfort!!:icon_mrgreen:

[Tom Blevins]

Yes! Kentucky takes over on downs! A game effort by Vanderbilt but Kentucky wins! We're going bowling!

[misterbluecat]

That sack on 2nd down was HUGE. That made the difference right there.

[BigblueDrew]

Gritty finish for the Cats. It wasn't pretty but as my old college coach used to say, "This aint no fashion show." GO CATS.

[Tom Blevins]

I feel like I've been through a war and my fellow posters on this thread were in the foxhole with me. Thanks guys. I don't think I could have made it through this nailbiter without you.

[bellbrass]

Thank Goodness we came out with a Win. The way the officials were calling the game, I would not have been surprised to see them penalize UK to the point where they escorted Vandy into the end zone.

UK's offense was good enough, but where has our passing game gone? I guess with Little and Dixon back on the bench, Tamme, Burton & Johnson saved our butts. We need to expect constant blitzes the next two (or three) games, though. I can promise the Vols will be rushing Andre, bet on it.

Don't forget Locke. He had great second half making a crucial third down and 4 on a draw play and then finishing the long drive with a 5 yard scamper into the end zone.
