Most of his throws against KY were inside 20 yds. If we don't have a qb that can complete those fairly regularly in the SEC we are going to lose games against good defenses so it really doesn't matter.

All of yall keep talking about ruining a special season.. That depends on what your definition of special is, if its winning the west we aren't/weren't going to do that if Fitz can't complete some passes downfield so its a mute point regardless.

Would I have liked to see us run the football more against KY, absolutely but around 14 of fitz throws against KY came behind the chains in 2nd and long and 3rd and long situations(needing more than 10yds for a first down)7 passes came right before half time and after we were down 21-7 and 28-7 clearly when we needed to throw the ball. So 21 of his 32 throws came again in passing situations either due to penalty or the situation dictating we throw the football.

So there are really 11 plays that we passed the ball where we could have run the football and Fitz completed 8 of them. So he was 8/11 on plays where we could have/should have realistically run the football.

Go and look at the drive summaries..

As example the first drive:

1st down- Kylin hill rush for one yd (unsportsmanlike penalty 15 yds)
2nd and 18- pass complete for 4 yds
3rd and 14-- incomplete pass

The majority of our possessions went like that. There were maybe 5-10 throws where we were at 1st or 2nd down and under 10 yds.
You are looking too hard at it. We lost because of all the reasons stated. All of those reasons fall on Moorhead and his staff.

This team is too good to look like that. I just think its funny now that we can make excuses for him but every single one of yall thought we would win the game before the season and during the week.

We should have won and we were the better team. Moorhead had a better team and lost by 3 TDs. That is not going to work. He gets another chance to prove he is capable saturday. If he fails again then we have problems. Simple as that
