I put this loss SOLELY on Morgan Newton and Joker Phillips, along with the rest of the offensive staff decision makers. Newton should've been benched after his 2nd INT and especially at the start of the 2nd half. But nope, didn't happen. Also, the play calling from Newton's 2nd INT on was HORRIBLE.

Our defense played good with the exception of the young secondary (who, let's be honest, played decent considering how young and bet up they are) and made considerable advances in skill and experience. I think we can expect a much better defense for the rest of the season.

This game really doesn't shatter the season for me or anything. I'm confident that when Max is back next week and with our defense doing a lot better, that we can still have a decent season. But, I am sure that THIS game is the proverbial nail in the coffin for Joker at UK, unless he pulls 8 straight out of his ass, which just isn't happening.
