As much as people are a little bit upset about how UK played yesterday consider these:
1. Overall we only were -1 in the turnover margin.
2. We played clutch. We the game was on the line, our offense put up the needed points and the defense made the needed stop.
3. Yards per carry. We dominated in yards per carry.
4. We only had a single three and out, and that was our final drive of the game.
5. There were roughly about 4-5 plays alone that would have changed the entire lay out of the game. If those few plays go differently, it's the score everybody thought against the Louisville team everybody thought. This game had the potential to get out of hand, and very easily could have.
6. Only 1 person in a team that likes to use the 2 back system got over 20 yards. Their number 2 running back got 2 yards. Seriously, for a running back to get 12 carries and only 2 yards is insane. Our fullback got more yards then their QB, FB, and #2 RB combined.
I know that people think the sky is falling and that Tebow is going to do to us what he should have done to UT. But think about this. Historically, every Rich Brooks team lays an egg for 1-2 games per season. This is 1 then, and at least our awful was better than their good.
And finally, think about this. Florida just has game footage of us against an awful team and of us playing awful. They don't have footage of us playing well against a not awful team. We know what Florida is going to do, we know what they are capable of. But, do they know the same things about us? I'm thinking that's a little more of a gray area.
