Kentucky’s Mark Stoops had some eye-opening comments after 16-6 loss to Georgia
Mark Stoops knew his Kentucky football team gave it everything they had against No. 1 Georgia on Saturday.
Comments
I am sorry, really, what were the eye-opening Stoops' comments...Read article twice?
Here’s an “eye-opening” comment: South Carolina 56 Tennessee 31! Take that, Griff!
Correction, South Carolina 63 Tennessee 31! Payback is hell for Heupel after that classless stunt TD vs. Mizzou!
Hats off to SC they just beat the cold crap out of the Vols! Spencer Rattler had one of the best games for a QB I’ve Ever seen!
You brag on the team your team played well. It builds your program up. All Stoops was doing perhaps.
I’m wondering that too.
What we are seeing in the making is - the rise of a new dynasty. Thanks, Coach Smart!!! REPEAT!!!
Most Coaches don't beat the drum too hard for the "other team". They confine their comments to their own game and players. What they did wrong...what they did right...what needs improvement, etc..
Occasionally a coach throws some light on their opponent, in post game comments, but, generally they keep em to one liners in the spirit of "good sportmanship". What Stoops said went beyond the norm...so, yeah...it was a little surprising.
Or...if you prefer, "eye-opening", as MG stated.
At least, it was to me. His comments, however,...I mean the actual words he used to describe UGA, didn't surprise me, at all. The fact that he said em, DID. He won't be the last to use those words, either. LOL
"Holding Georgia to just 16 points and shutting down Stetson Bennett and the Bulldogs elite tight ends was no easy feat."
Sometimes UGA shuts themselves down. I am thinking about the repeated dive plays into the KY DL that continued to get stuffed. (like MS St? like MS?) Try another page of the playbook Mr. Monken? And I don't mean a 180 lb QB sneak into the KY DL on 4th and 1.
As for KY shutting down the UGA TE's. Remember when DWash was running wide open down the sideline early in the game and the pass sailed over his head? I don't expect any player to be perfect but missing wide open guys is a head scratcher. UGA never came back to that play or seemed interested in involving the TE's much at all.
You're absolutely right. IMO
I said before the season, that the Dawgs would be virtually unstoppable, with all the weapons they have and the offense to utilize em. The only thing that can stop UGA this year,...is UGA.
Kirby and Monkin have been playing with the offensive levers, trying to moderate their success, in the eyes of the media and fans, since the Oregon game. It allowed them to build a powerhouse of depth and talent, going into the post-season.
Smart and Bennett haven't looked nervous or concerned, all year. Maybe a little aggravated, Lol...but, not concerned. Even when they were down in the 4th qtr, to Mizzou. Smart, Monkin and Bennett, know their "hole cards" will beat anything the opposition can throw at them, and they'll pull em out, if and when they need em.. Meanwhile, their running game has improved dramatically.
And, Pollack and Stinchcolm can't see it? Or, don't want to say it. One or the other.
I'm a little surprised that people, that should see what I see,...don't. Like BAMA being average this year and Texas A&M's 2022 demise. How could the likes of Paul Finebaum and 99% of "Football media" be fooled that hard? Are they not doing their homework, and relying strictly on the recent "history" of the CFP in their evaluations analysis? I don't know...just curious.
