KIEL QB

I am surprised at the Kiel situation. For a guy who has the talent and experience to be really really good, to let it all slip away. I don't care what they say about all the QBs are one big happy family, if they have a competitive bone in their body, there will be some in fighting. I will accept the decision, mainly because there is a new QB coach and offensive coordinator. They must see something special in Moore. Moore needs to deliver at Purdue and against Houston. If it all stays this way, in the long run, it may be to UCs advantage--having Moore back for several years. I won't be shocked if we see Kiel in the pros next year--NFL or CFL. I am still surprised!
 
Just wanted to give a huge shout out and a big Thank You to LaxCat31. I posted about an issue with football season tickets and he solved the issue and then some.

He also got me connected with someone in the ticket office to get my upgrade season tix complete for basketball.

Great customer service and awareness on his part. Thanks again!

Good for you and a very nice gesture to recognize him for his efforts.
 
You aren't excited about the first conference game on Thursday night on national TV against a top 15 opponent?
If nothing else that first game should get the juices flowing playing such a good opponent with the rest of the nation watching.

Not really that exciting considering we've lost all three conference openers under Tubby including a loss to a bad USF team, a beat down at home against Memphis and a turnover fest against Temple. Don't have high expectations.
 
I'm pretty pumped for the season, even though I have serious doubts about Tuberville 's commitment to running a high level program. College Football is so great. I'll be watching on the WatchESPN app.

How the heck are you pumped for the season when you have commented on it in two days. its game day my brother. Get fired up!!!:)
 
Need to take care of the ball this year. Also need to play defense. Having a more ball control type offense should reduce some of our turnovers and make playing defense a bit easier. All things I have read indicate our weakest link is the offensive line. If we want to control the ball and reduce exposing our defense we need to be tough up front. I hope I'm wrong but being good in the trenches has always been the key to playing winning football. I am certain we will win tonight but I have concerns about our season going forward.
 
Saw we are -24. Would be disappointing if we couldn't cover that. Hopefully we're ready to play. Tuberville 's teams can sometimes, well, not be.

I think some of that we depend on how long he leaves the No. 1's in the game. I just want to see some solid fundamental execution in our game. No mistakes!!!

Couldn't agree more. Start things off on the right foot with a clean, error free game. No stupid penalties, no turnovers.

That's interesting as I've viewed the offensive line as one of strengths - not our biggest concern. Granted we lost an NFL caliber tackle off of last year's line, but we return our center and both guards. Returning 3 out of 5 isn't bad. Plus, I've always thought run blocking was easier for linemen to pick up that the zone blocking techniques we were using the past few years. Additionally, I've been excited to see what our new O-line coach does for that unit. His pedigree is certainly impressive - most recently coming from Auburn. They've had a little success running the ball the past few years.

I worry more about our D-line and our passing game than anything. I expect our defensive backs and linebackers to be solid, but I worry some about our defense at the point of attack. Also, I think the passing game will be ok, but I worry about it's effectiveness early in the season.

I don't know how much we'll learn from tonight's game, but I want to see us run for 175+ with few penalties and turnovers. I'll be watching the defense more closely than the offense.

I can't wait for tonight!

Go Bearcats!

When I think of how careless with the ball we were last year I want to puke. We were a disaster. We played a hurry up spread offense with a defense that was terrible. A recipe for failure. really looking for us to grow into the change in philosophy.

Only going off what I have heard on other sites. Being able to control the ball helps our defense. We were 3 and out last year and when were not punting were turning it over. Hope your theory about our O- line is correct. We need them to play much better then last year.
 
Your concerns were warranted Waite - the o-line was bad last night. Of course, for much of the game there were a lot of things going wrong. After the first quarter, the defense looked ok. However, the offense struggled much of the night. I expected Hayden to be better.

We'll see what happens at Purdue.

Good points. I fear our offense is going to be too vanilla. I fear predictable play calling will hurt. I saw too many run run pass plays. I'm not going to over react after one game but its possible to hurt us.
