That is the most unbelievable finish I've ever seen.
Jesus we suck, but that was exhilarating.

Yeah I loved watching that. I was almost worried that Tyrie might suffocate there for a minute.Well, I needed that. Didn't think there was any way we'd gut that one out ... especially with the Les Miles-esque clock management at the end of the game. That dog pile was amazing.
So I'm still pretty drunk, bet here goes:
LDR will probably be the QB going forward. Never thought it would happen, but he got the job done in the 4th quarter when Franks struggled.
Malik Davis is a man.
Brandon Powell too.
And Tyrie Cleveland.
Defense isn't much good anymore. Playing a lot of underclassmen. Our recruiting struggles from Mac's first two years are beginning to show. We have some rock solid classes coming in though so it should pick up later. Those plays where we caught UK sleeping for TDs basically sums up the last 30 years of this series. I legit thought that kick at the end was good until the commentators said it wasn't. It's crazy to think how we're effectively 2-3 plays away from being 0-3.
**** it. 2-0 in SEC play. I'll take it. Sometimes you make the plays you need to make in order to win, otherwise, you're just Kentucky. 31 in a row and more to come.
Go Gators!
Oh I don't like it either, but I think he may still be our best option at this point, sadly. Zaire looked completely lost in that Michigan game.You think Del Rio has the job for the rest of the year? That makes my stomach turn. He is freakin terrible. Franks, and presumably Zaire, have the talent advantage. Del Rio is like a less cerebral version of Pennington without the accuracy but double the lack of arm strength. The Gators are completely unable to develop a QB. It should've happened by sheer chance by now.
The defense is young but there's no excuse. Not lacking talent. Fundamentals clearly aren't being taught. Defense is looking undisciplined ... just like the U's D during Shannon's tenure there. Don't think that's a coincidence. Garcia single handedly made the D look junior varsity out there ... so that played a major role yesterday and skewed things a little bit. Why did he get so many snaps?
Forgot to give props to Powell. Him juking those 3 guys for the 1st down - totally bailing the OC out with the pathetic play call - was amazing. He didn't have any business making a positive play out of that.
I'll take it as well. College isn't like the NFL. Lose a bunch of games in the NFL and you get rewarded with a higher draft pick. Losing recruits is all that happens when you get beat in college.
Thought I'd compile a list of everything this team does well:
Running
Punting
