Ok listen I was at the game. I just didn't watch it on tv and speculate why we lost. We lost for two major reasons.

#1. We was not prepared, came out flat and made the wrong decisions. Joker had every reason in the world to make sure UK came out and was ready. But we were anything but. Didn't capitalize on turnovers and made mistakes of our own. The blocked punt was huge and was a deciding factor in the game. Joker calling for a fake punt!!!!! Pitt had that sniffed out before we even came out of the huddle. Horrible decision form our head man. Also, while I know we had Newton in there, why did we never take shots down field? Matthews had a guy playing man on him that was 5'5". Serious match up advantage for UK but we never looked his way. How can Joker and Randy Sanders ignore that? Put all these together and you get the result. Worse UK looked all season.

#2. Mike Hartline. Hartline plays UK wins. All year I have heard people preach about Newton and how he is sooooooooo much better. Well he aint. Newton, right now, just can't make the plays or throws it takes to win. Our coaching staff knew what they were doing when they made Mike the starter at the firstof the year. Even Derrick Locke said it would have been different if Hartline had been under center. Fact is he puts points on the board for us. Whether it be him throwing a touchdown or him getting our offense going, but Hartline makes a positive difference for us.


Now whoever says UK can't win in the Big East is mistaken. How many teams you know of that can lose their starting QB before their bowl game and still look good offensively? I bet Auburn wouldnt score 14 points a game without Cam Newton.
