Really proud of the way we bounced back. O line, play calling, etc. We just need the boys to play every game like they’re playing Georgia. Same intensity, same effort, same confidence and care. I expect us to beat Ohio by 3-4 touchdowns, and I expect our defense to be a stonewall against Ohio. No excuses. Play to the Georgia level all year and we finish 8-4. Get lazy and lackidasical and play down to our competition (the way we have countless times in the past) and we’re gonna seriously struggle. I wanna see #10 get more touches at RB too, boy is an explosive bowling ball, earned some seriously hard yards against UGA.

[@homerward8203]

I stand with Coach and the calls. Im proud of the team. We will get it worked out. This is Brocks first year starting with a new OC. We will get things going. In years past we are not playing SEC teams so soon in the year. This team hasnt had the opportunity to play lesser talented teams to grow.

[@beardedbrodie]

Our defense will keep us in games. Our offense will lose us almost every game if they don't figure it out man

I don't think Vandergriff has thrown a single spiral in any game this year

Was that an admission in there that the team did overlook Carolina two weeks ago because they had played so badly in their opener? He didn't say that last week, but I'm glad he finally admits it.

[@MGnKntkY]

Thank you coach Stoops for explaining what should be obvious regarding the 4th and 8 call. We hadn't been very successful on obvious passing downs the whole game. Punting the ball gave us the opportunity to win and took away the opportunity for UGA to run a few plays and shut the door on us completely. It was the right call.

[@Wetrockstah2116]

If they keep running the ball on that last drive they get into fg range IMO. They screwed up when they went back to the pass.

[@JR-oq1ms]

This man has the best job in all of sports. $9mil a year and almost beating a team is considered acceptable.

[@Wetrockstah2116]

I probably would have went for it, but i completely understand why he didn't. The defense had been shutting Georgia down all game, although i do think they messed up on that last series on the last drive when they went back to the pass, even though Brock had both guys wide open with atleast 10-15 yards to gain if they don't get batted down. I would have stuck with the Run, and would have gave the ball to Jamarion Wilcox more. Demi played and ran hard, but You could tell that Jamarion Wilcox is just a different talent. He had some tough runs of his own and he is way more explosive and quick with great balance for his size. Stoops better do everything he can to keep that kid because i see something special in him.

[@BudStickly]

If the plan was executed very well most of the game then the plan involved not scoring a single TD and relying on lights out defense?

[@Secdawg]

One fg away from being the no 1 team in the country??? South Carolina destroyed you the week before. UGA has a lot of work to do..

[@Secdawg]

Congrats on almost beating UGA.. They aren't a top 10 team in September..

[@phillipjohnson8241]

Just move on and get the win this week

[@NolanNicholsJr]

I appreciate everything Stoops has done here, but he’s reached his ceiling. Time for a change. IMO

[@Potts87_Thor_RIP_Adp]

Our defense looked like the best in the SEC , KY plays like tht the rest of the season we could finish with 9-10 wins

[@Big_Totem]

Best in the sec? We have a top 3 defense in the nation. I don't care what anyone says. Only reason we lost 31 to south c was cause the offense couldn't stay out for more than 2 mins at a time

[@Potts87_Thor_RIP_Adp]

@@Big_TotemI know I was just saying it’s the best in the sec.

[@randystalker4093]

Win the rest of em... You can... Have confidence... It starts with the o-line they played so good v ga

[@Syrin23]

Dude needs to get his testosterone levels checked. Takes no shots at the end zone at the end of the first half, the STUPID decision to punt. The Detroit Lions did a fake punt from their OWN FIVE YARD line yesterday in the first quarter. That's called playing to win, having balls. The UK staff might as well put on skirts and let their wives make the calls

[@MGnKntkY]

Good thing you're not the coach. This isn't Madden 25.

[@homerward8203]

Yeah and Detroit lost. We was playing the number 1 team and the nation and lose by 1 points. Held them to 65 first half yards.

[@Syrin23]

@@homerward8203 And still played scared. Detroit CONVERTED the down so that makes their decision even better. They would have lost by more if they didn't play aggressively, so thanks for backing up my point. I bet you think losing to Wisconsin in b'ball a decade ago was a moral victory, right?

[@TaylaWhala]

Mark stoops thinks he’s the man because he kept an overrated Georgia to a win point game. What’s up with Kentuckys loser mentality? As a Tennessee fan I’ve seen us shit the bed more times i can count. But most Tennessee fans don’t accept the results at hand. I hate Kentucky but yall deserve better than this shit. It’s just embarrassing
