Welcome everyone, it is the local Toyota dealers KSR post-game show Kentucky beats Akron 35 to 3 in another game that

0:19.1

you know, cats won, Mark Stoops summed it up the best. We won by 30 and I'm still mad. Except he used a little different language, which I

0:28.8

I will leave to him. But you can give us a shout. We'll open up the phones here in just a minute. This one the late night shows. And as you know, we have these late night shows. I like to let people talk because I always we get interesting conversations. Billy is in studio. Billy's had a long day. It's been a long week. For me, and I was very excited to watch the game tonight because I thought all right. Freddie tells me that Akron has an anemic offense, so they won't really be able to score. But a deep

0:58.8

decent defense. So let's see how we do. And you could kind of dependent on how you want to look at it. You could look at a lot of positives. I'll start with those. I thought Devin Leary looked really good. Couple bad passes, but I think yeah, and then this was sort of said by the coordinators, or excuse me about the coaches after the game, that some of them were receivers running bad routes and miscommunication. I thought he put the ball in a place to be

1:28.8

caught most of the time. The only interception was when it was clear. They didn't have the same route in their mind with Dane Key. And I thought he hit what he needed to do most of the time.

1:39.5

Obviously had the amazing play with Ray Davis, which was one of the better plays. I can remember. I mean, just in terms of two individuals making amazing plays. I mean, Leary, I thought was certainly sacked and then got them all to Davis who basically ran past the entire team. So I thought he played well.

1:56.6

The running back position. I mean, I think, you know, there were people out there whispering that Ray Davis could be as good as Benny and Chris Rodriguez, if not better. And you know, you hadn't really seen that. Well, you saw it tonight. I mean, I mean, he has an ability.

2:10.9

He's not as good as those guys at sort of just going straight ahead and getting you four or five yards, but he can, he can break them. And he can be game changing and he can turn a game around.

2:21.8

In just a second. And there's a, you know, Kentucky hasn't had a lot of those guys. Probably the last guy that was really like that.

2:29.8

I don't know. We haven't had a ton at running back, but we got one here who can, you know, just completely with one move around the corner, change the game. And I reminds me in some ways, that's kind of how in bone was, even though he wasn't a running back.

2:44.8

That's exciting. They got the tight ends involved. A lot of catches it tied in, targeted a lot for the most part made the plays. That was good.

2:54.0

I thought the defense was very good throughout the game. I mean, they gave up a lot of yards there at the end on the fine and there was one drive in the second half where they gave up yards, but in general, the defense was solid.

3:05.9

You know, as I was watching, you saw Harrison was the guy who made a ton of plays and, and the safety is played well.

3:13.7

You know, defensive line. When you're watching the game, especially on, on downs, like passing downs, watch how many guys it takes for them to block the walker. He didn't make a ton of tackles.

3:27.8

But that's because he is double and I saw a player who's triple teamed this game. That's why you got to see, you know, Trevor Wallace and Derek Jackson making a lot of the plays they make.

3:37.8

So those are the positives to me. You see, there were a lot of things that if you want to be positive about, you can find negatives. I mean, I continue to be amazed at how often this team will make the worst mistake it can make in a situation.

3:54.0

You know, the Jordan Dingell, that was a great catch and a great run. It's seven, nothing. Your offense is not completely clicked.

4:02.6

You want to, you know, that team's offense is terrible. Just get it to a two possession game and any fumbles while trying to carry four guys to the end zone.

4:11.2

That's probably a bad decision.

4:13.6

Two offensive linemen really struggle. Courtland Ford struggled and Jagger Burton struggled a lot.

4:20.0

The holding penalty was the most obvious, but there were other issues throughout the game. I mean, pretty much when, when guys got in the backfield early, it was kind of those two positions.

4:29.8

And those are two guys that I think people probably thought would both be upgrades where they are and they need to play like upgrades because they just haven't yet.
