    Also, having a coherent offensive game plan would be nice.

    I don't think we win, but I'd love to get a couple of quick scores early and watch UK fold.

    I think we see something similar to the USC game plan

    If not, I kind of wonder if we might be better off moving Bryce Thompson to safety and letting Osborne and Buchanon play at corner opposite Alontae Taylor.

    I would not be surprised at all if we move some guys around like that in this game. Tkjr is a pretty big liability unfortunately.

    Holy crap. If he's still there for Missouri, Drew Lock will throw for 2000 yards.

    The apple really fell a good ways away from the tree with that guy...

    Provided Taylor remembers not to “target” anybody...

    At least its not an effort deal. He was already slow before knee injury. Kid will probably have a knee replacment earlier than I did and still at least comes up trying to pop people. Wish he was big enough for olb

    He's perfect for a run heavy offense, though. He can't cover anymore, but he's a better tackler than Sapp, Taylor or Deandre Johnson

    He was fine until 19 knee surgeries

    He's slower now than as a senior in high school by a large margin.

    True.. that’ll definitely slow you down a step...

    If the run stays inside he works really well. I noticed he has trouble if it bounces outside. You can just tell he doesn't have much more left in the tank after all the surgeries.

    Just sucks. Dude was all over the field the game when we finally beat UF at home. Seemed like he had a really good game against OU too.

    He was worlds better before all his surgeries. I could see him coming back and being a GA someday, which I think he would be really good at.

    I didn't watch any of it, but doesn't seem that we went down the field much. I don't even think we had a completion that was more than 10 yards past the LOS. I think we will need to stretch the field more to beat UK.

    I remember a couple years ago right to left on tv, he was chasing a returner or wr, and several more players from each team passed him. Looked like something out of a comedy.

    Wasn't he one of the ringleaders when a bunch of players went to the lake on gameday?

    Not sure. I would not hold that against him though as his leader was a complete buffoon.
