CFB 2017 Week 5 |OT| Searching for evidence that Kentucky has ever beaten Florida
- Thread starter ryseing
- Start date
It's weird, but the farther into the season we go, the more I'm okay with giving Sumlin one more year. The UCLA game was a mess, even accounting for the loss of our starting QB. But since then we've (shockingly) seen second half adjustments on both sides of the ball. I believe the commentators said we've been playing something like eighteen freshmen, as well as a bunch of sophomores. I'll want the rest of the season to play out, but seeing real improvement, even if not in the record, seems desirable with the rest of the conference a mess.
I wonder how Hurd is enjoying Baylor. Lol.

I like Sumlin as y'all's coach. I don't want him fired and hope he turns it around (against everyone but us, obviously). He's gotta toughen up y'all's squad mentally, though.
In his defense, he's never had a team that was as much a head case as Orgeron's LSU is right now. That's a shitshow even I'm taken aback by.
I mean he isn't playing for Butch Jones so that is probably a plus.

You guys are quietly 4-1 and 2-0 in conference. Barring a meltdown I doubt Sumlin gets fired this year, since other schools are in worse positions so it will probably be a really competitive/difficult time to be searching for a coach.
I don't have the gif handy and the converters I use aren't working now on mobile for whatever reason. If you don't get it sooner I can do it later on my PC.
Upsides: Not playing for Butch Jones
Downsides: Might as well not be playing football, this isn't to say he was at UT either

That win over a hot Rutger's team, of course. They are an up and coming program.

I don't think y'all have beaten a team with a winning record yet. One team you faced beat you like a drum, at home.

I'm saying you know why as in it's the logo and the name.
Turns out Georgia is a Top 5 program after all.
:jnc at A&M receiving 2 votes. The voters have finally learned something.
MugiwaraCole
Member
Yeah. Still, weird. Especially with Wazzu sitting right there at 11.
No shit.
From what Ive can tell, there are 3 teams in the top 10 in both scoring offense and defense. Washington, Alabama, and UCF.
To be fair, the ones Alabama has beaten are Vandy and Colorado State
Those stats are pretty pointless until you get into the meat of the conference schedule.

Well, yeah.
There's just the problem concerning the fact Ohio State has a fucking loss.

Every team Texas has lost to this season is at least receiving votes in the AP

Yeah. I think it's actually top 5. UCF defense wasn't supposed to be this good.
Sounds like a playoff resume to me!

If the playoff had 32 teams we would have a case.
Nope, we're not ranked. Fake news. Don't look at us.
Louisville is going to murder this team.

No Schiano?
Then again I doubt he'd go there anyway.
Schiano will be at ND or BC in the next year or so.
PJ Fleck or Tee Martin for sure.
Too bad Peyton Manning isn't coaching even though I still think he will one day. I feel the same way about Tebow as well.
Also, Scott Frost is a name to look out for as well.

Frost will hold out for the Brasky job

Remind me to not leave this thread again.
Anyway, onto the topic at hand: Yeah, Rutgers sucks this year. We'll suck next year. Then the year after. In Year 5, Ash will be hired and hopefully our administration will finally get a clue and hire a proven head coach with a modicum of offensive ability.
If Zamar Wise's commit holds, between him & Lewis, at least one of them will hit. Too talented for one of them to not hit. Get a decent QB, and we can at least not terribly suck.

I can't see Wise sticking around.
People on the Premium RU Rivals board think he's solid since apparently he grew up with RU as his dream school. I don't believe any commits until the fax comes through on signing day.
I'm wondering how long before Hobbs calls the banners and starts sending feelers out for donations to get rid of Ash.
As bad as Flood was, he'd accidentally get his team in the endzone unlike Ash.
Prior to the year I thought that if USCs offense was good Tee would end up being the coach but I think shit is so bad right now + USCs offense looking suspect at times has ended that.
I actually think I would bet Petrino. I didn't think he would leave Louisville again but with the shit going down there he can jump ship without any kind of PR backlash.
Wait, did you just use "$" to make fun of FSU as a Miami fan?
Well yeah, it's not like he spelled it FfreeabortionsandcocaineU. No hypocrisy there.

Uh huh.
They will find a way to make themselves look incompetent against us, per usual, then that ranking will right itself.
Shout-out to Malik Davis, our true freshman RB. Dude is going to be a BEAST in the coming years.

Georgia's gonna beat Florida by at least 4 TDs. At least.
News to me honestly.

Maybe, but Georgia has a way of giving Florida gifts. We also have a bye before them as usual.
Biggest concern is match-up between a defense that can't fucking tackle and an outstanding running team. Hope Randy Shannon figures out how to teach his guys how to wrap up or the ball-lickers will run for 200+ on us.
We're going to have to be efficient on offense, for sure, mixing up short, intermediate and long passes with solid running. Townsend will be crucial in field position.
It just sucks - I have no confidence in this staff. I could see them coming out of a bye with poor preparation and results; getting smashed. I could also see our players performing well, in spite of the coaching, and winning by a field goal.
You try being raised by fervent evangelicals and see how intelligent you grow up to be.

I could definitely be wrong, especially since I'm a rival fan, but i thought he was known for being nicer than you would even guess and dumber than rocks.
Randolph Freelander

Kiffin is probably the best option there. I don't know if Tennessee would hire a USC/Bama guy, but they should probably give that guy a shot.
McElwain seems to have Georgia's number thus far and like you said, UGA seems to forget how to find against us in Jacksonville. I still don't see a 4 TD blowout no matter what.
Lol Bama fans really do crack me up with how spoiled they are. Also because it's hard to tell who jumped on the bandwagon or who was there before Saban arrived 🤔
I don't know about his personal life but I always thought he was definitely football smart. Kind of like Winston.
