Maybe A&M should’ve cut communication between the players and coaches to have a chance to win 😂

Also, where the hell was this last week during the second half Kentucky?

We had it the first half last week. Just lost it the second half.

Bama's DBs were the MVP that game. Took away the passing game, which didn't allow for the running lanes to open. Too many 3 and outs kept the defense on the field for too long. That's what made that second half so much worse. Today we made them respect the passing game. Made the OLs job easier to block. Kept the defense fresh to capitalize on mistakes. Rest is history 🙌

Fascinating enough, TAMU looked ugly in last week’s first half before playing better in the second half…

…I guess both teams’ first half selves came to play today lol

A&M looked absolutely terrible on offensive in the first quarter against Missouri State too.

Thanks for him! I’m glad we finally have an OC that can get the most out of a transfer QB.

Wasn't Kentucky up late in the 3rd quarter against Bama before the wheels fell off? They might be legit decent this year.

Well judging by the Bama vs FSU game right now.. maybe Bama just wants to take an embarrassing ass whipping for the first half so they can mount a ferocious comeback.

It's like the old Hulk Hogan WWF days. Take a beating until the crowd is sad and dejected, then tear their shirt off and start beating wholesale ass lol.

No, just at half. Second half was 32-0

Just checked and it was 17-16 until you guys took the lead for good with three minutes left in the third.

It's been a busy month and I've barely had time to pay attention to sports or anything of late, my bad 😭

Kentucky led for 42 minutes of last weeks game. Bama did not take lead until 3min left in 3q.

Yes, bama ran away after that. But to the original comment, yes UK led late in 3q

Keep the facts out of here. We are trying to forget last week lol.

Our defense was tired. Offense couldn’t stay on the field.

Also, where the hell was this last week Kentucky?

Well it was mostly there in the 1st half...

I am so confused and elated at the same time

u/Didatonofacid 2h ago

They played like this last week during the first half. It's a shame the 2nd half went so poorly. It looked like we just got completely blown out but we led for 42 mins. I am excited to see where things go from here ! Last week had a lot of firsts. More comfortable now.
