It is the local toy dealers KSR post-game show. Kentucky football begins their season with a victory at home over Toledo, the Rockets, 24 to 16 in a game that couldn't know. asked for better weather. Maybe could have asked for a little better performance, but most importantly, cats come away with a win. We will open up the phone lines here in just a minute. Remember, the text machine is 772-774-5254.

I think the way to look at this game when you win a game 24-16 against a good team, but a Mac team, is to look at the positive and the negative. So let me start with the positive. Okay. The biggest thing that sticks out to me is that the UK defense is much better. The last year, while they did have some games where the defense played well, Georgia being the one that stuck out, there were some games where they just got absolutely annihilated. I thought for the most part, the UK defense controlled the game today.

Certainly controlled it for three quarters. I don't want to say they quit. I think they eased up a little bit on that final drive, which allowed Toledo to go 95 yards. You can't do that because you can give them a chance to come back and win the game. But I thought the defense is better, specifically the defensive line. I mean, this defensive line, I think, has a chance to be one of the better ones they've had in last few years. Stephen Soles, obviously, they sack them souls, I guess is apparently what he's going by, had two sacks during the game, but even more than I think they got credit for three sacks

and six hits on the quarterback. I just thought they got pressure on Toledo in the backfield a lot more. This is a much better overall defensive line than Kentucky's had in the last few years. Secondary, left a little bit to be desired, especially at the end, but they're playing soft coverage there. I think we'll have to wait and see. But you have a defense now that is kind of a Brad White Mark Stoops defense where you are able to be tough, to play physically. And for three quarters, I thought they were great.

Last quarter, I guess you can kind of look at it how you believe at the game. But I think in general, positive about the defense. More positive about the running game and the offensive line than I've been. I mean, especially I think Kentucky ran the ball. pretty much as they needed to and wanted to. I think the line of scrimmage was controlled by Kentucky most of the game, and our two backs, Dowdell and McGowan, are really good and really different. You know, Dowdell gets 129 yards, 79 of them are on the one play,

but McGowan had 78, and they just grind them out. When they need four, five yards, they get them. I'm not going to say it's like Benny Snell, Chris Rodriguez-S., but it's better than what we saw last year. So that's good. And by the way, after the game, Mark Stoop said that Jamarian Wilcox was suspended due to team rule violation, and he would have more on his status next week. Billy, I don't know about you.

That sounds like a guy who may not be on the team when they talk about it. Who didn't tie his shoes again. Yeah, I mean, there was something there. I mean, you don't, when you say he's suspended for a rule violation and then say I'll tell you more about it next week, that second part makes me worried about the future. otherwise you would just say it was a one game thing. But I think he's been passed either way. I think Dowdell and McGowan are the guys.

So I think those are positive. I actually thought, I thought in terms of like our fans, pretty good attendance, all things considering. You know, I kind of can get a sense of that at the bar before the game and there was a lot of people generally positive. So I think that showed up in the in the crowd and in the environment. obviously you couldn't ask for a better day. Now, negatives. I don't know how you can look at this and go, all right, what's the passing game? I mean, Calzada, 10 for 23, 85 yards, an interception.

He also had a safety where he should have handed off the ball. He kept it and ended up getting a safety. Just not a very, I don't know. I mean, I would say not a very encouraging performance. A lot of his throws were Billy way off, right? Like, not kind of off. Yeah. Way off.

And then I didn't see a ton of separation with the wide receivers. I'm actually legitimately a little worried about our. Kauzada is another issue. Like, we'll talk about Kauzada a second. But the wide receivers, I mean, just to give you a sense, we own, our wide receivers had a total of four catches. for what, seven, 14 yards,

12 yards. I mean, you know, that's not good. And Harley Gilmore, who finished with minus five yards, two receptions of minus five yards, he seemed to be the go-to guy down the stretch. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I don't know.

This does not look like a receiving court, at least right now, who's going to be able to get separation in the SEC. But if they do, you do have to wonder about the play of Calzada. Now, Mark Stoops was honest after the game. He said he just wasn't very good to this. But he said he thought he would be much better.

I hope that's true. They don't have a lot of time. I mean, Ole Miss comes in here next week. And I can guarantee they will put up some points. And right now, this does not look like an offense that's going to be throwing the ball a lot. And that's going to be a problem. Now, I think this is going to be a team

in the old Mark Stoops bold, where they're running it down your throat, I think that's probably going to be this team's best chance of success. But, you know, it was clear. Toledo was saying, beat us, beat us on passes longer than 15 yards. And how many do they complete, Billy? One, two. It wasn't many.

I mean, most of the passes, you know, you get some passes 10, 12 yards, and a little bit of running. You had the Willie Rodriguez fumble after the one catch. but also just look at who was receiving. I mean, 43 yards for Caddus, 31 yards for Rodriguez. I mean, after years of saying we never throw it to tight ends, now it's like we're only throwing it to tight ends. So I'm a little concerned about the passing game.

Now, I will say, Adam Luckett said on the pre-game show, Toledo has two members of their secondary that will play in the NFL. They're going to be draft picks. Now, guess what? These teams are going to be playing in the SEC are going to have that too. but this is not a normal max secondary. These guys actually are good. Still, though, you have to get more than 85 yards.

Didn't love play calling. You know, I didn't love it. I didn't love the fact that we're running down their throat and we get to the 40-yard line of Toledo where you only need five to seven to eight yards to be in field goal range and you throw it three straight times for three straight incompletions. They did that on back-to-back possessions when it was 10 to 2. That could have been, you know, that could have been a game changer.

But luckily, they were able to overcome it. But I still don't, I have to say, we've been watching now for a year in a game. I still don't really understand Bush Hamden's play-calling philosophy. If you were to say to me, what does he like to do? He likes to have a lot of motion in his back field. but Billy, I don't think he ever uses anyone that ever goes out in motion, unless it's a jet sweep and that never works. That's always going back.

It's never worked one time that we've done it. So I just don't really understand his offensive methodology. I mean, at least going back to Liam and the various offensive coordinators, I kind of knew what they were trying to do. I'm not even totally sure. I understand what Bush Hamden is trying to do in a given situation. So, you know, that's a little concerning. Probably a third thing is we got to get a better flag.

Oh, I saw that. What was that flag, Billy? It's the first week of the season. Why do we have a ragged old flag la la Johnny Cash flying from the top of the stadium? Like, you know, come on, it's week one. We got to fix that. I will say, I was not at the game, so I got to be clear. But I heard I had more complaints.

about the fact that they did not play Grove Street Party. Have we ended that tradition all of a sudden? I didn't know they didn't play it. I don't know. I don't understand that. Like, that's the one thing we did right. You know, we have no football traditions. They created that one, and then they just stopped.

So I don't really, I don't really get that either. But overall, we won. That's important. This was a game they could have lost. I mean, let's be real. during the offseason, the hottest potential upset pick by most national college football people was Toledo over Kentucky. That was the hottest pick. That was the one you heard the most.

Kirk Herb Street today picked it as a super underdog of the week. You know, we want. So that's important. I sat there and thought during the first half, I had like, if you've listened to KSR a lot, you know, I get nervous during games. I actually don't get nervous as much during football, probably just because my expectations are often that we're not going to do well. But I was nervous today because there's a part of me saying, if they lose this game, let me just forget it.

You know, there's no way this fan base is going to be engaged. So I had like that pit of my stomach nervousness, and we won. And I do think that that was not a given going into it. Vegas is so good. Like the betting lines are so good. Remember, it opened at 13.5. Got that down to 7.5. Ended up at 10.5.

If you got it at 7.5. Like, I did, Bill, you made money. If you waited until 10 and a half, you lost. And you've been really upset about that 95-year-ard drive at the end. But none of that really matters as opposed to winning the game. I have concerns about this offense. I'm pretty optimistic about at least our front 7 on the defense. I'm more optimistic about the offensive line than I was probably coming into the season.

But if I'm honest, I'm probably more pessimistic about the quarterback and the wide receivers than I was. I think I'd taught myself into like we got all these options at wide receiver. It's going to be exciting. And, yeah, I mean, law didn't even have a catch. Kousa did not look sharp. And now you do have to wonder. you know, what will happen. Now, I will say this.

It's very important not to overreact to game one. Either way. Remember last year in game one, Vandergriff looked really good, and we destroyed Ohio. And you saw how that year ended. Go back to 2018, that year we were really good.

We struggled with Central Michigan. Didn't win until the end of the fourth quarter. So these games, it's usually against a Mac team, where we start the year, they're not always tied to, what actually ends up happening. But this fan base wants to see more from its offense. We used to take the defense as a given.

Last year it wasn't. Maybe it'll be more of a given this year. But I don't know how you can watch that and not be at least a little concerned about the start of the Calzada era. Billy, what was your initial takeaway? I was really happy about the defense. Jeff Bacquiro talked a lot about Alex Safari and how great he was. He was great.

First of, Alex Safari, 13 tackles. You know, we've talked about how he could, he will be an NFL draft pick. That's why. 13 tackles. He's the leader. I think this team needs on defense ability. Absolutely. So for him to move from secondary to linebacker, he looked great.

And then also our punter laid a big hit. I mean, for the having zero toughness. Yeah, Aet Laro said, take that zero tough. toughness rating and stick it. He laid that guy out, didn't he? He'd been hearing that all offseason. He'd been waiting for that shot. I think he had been waiting for it. So I'm interested to see. Let's go ahead and open up the lines.

859-28027. What's your take? If you were at the game, I was not at the game. So I would like to hear your take from inside the stadium. What was the feeling? You know, next week, Ole Miss is coming. Obviously, we beat them last year. They've been preparing all off-season. for next week.

It's going to be 3.30. It's going to be national television. It's going to be probably the best atmosphere, assuming the weather's good, for a Kentucky game we might have all year. What are we going to see? I think after this game tonight, I guess the question would be,

am I more optimistic or less about next week? If I'm honest, I'm probably the same because I thought we were going to win this week. I thought it was going to look ragged. I probably thought we'd look a little better on offense and a little worse on defense. So we're kind of right where I thought we were. And then next week, we'll kind of have a sense.

Is this going to be a team that's competitive this year? Or is it not? Next week we probably find out. 8.59-2-80-2287. Give us a shout. Let us know what you think. It is the local toy dealers KSR post-game show. Kentucky beats Lido 24-16.

a break. Be right back. Take your calls on KSR. It is the local toyo dealers, KSR post game show. Looking at the text machine, one person writes, Matt, you got through the first segment, didn't say anything about putting cutter bole in. I didn't, because I know people are already going to think that on their own. I wasn't to a point yet today where I thought they should do that because we led pretty much the whole game, so I didn't think you would make that changed. Now, I will say, Kauzaa's got two more games to play well, in my opinion. He's going to have to show something against Ole Miss or Eastern Michigan.

If we get through the Eastern Michigan game and we see another performance like this, then I think you have to ask during the by week, do you consider something else? But I'm not ready to say that yet. I think it's probably the case. If you're going to play a good team like Ole Miss, Kauzada probably gives you the best chance to win next week. But I don't think it's a crazy conversation. to at least start thinking about it. But he's going to have two more games. When you get to Eastern Michigan, which I don't think is a very good team,

if he is not producing something throwing, then I do think you've got to buy week. That's when you would think about it, whether you would do it or not. I'm not sure. Let's quickly talk about what's happened in the rest of college football. You had Arch Manning look bad, Billy. I mean, like bad.

Like not just didn't look like a Manning and a Heisman candidate. look bad. I think I sort of thought maybe he wouldn't be as good as people thought, but I'm not sure I predicted, Bill, he would look bad. Yeah, well, Paul Feinbaum didn't help, you know, appointing him better than Tim Tebow already. Every show he's done for the last month. But, I mean, Ohio State kind of owned that game throughout. So not a great performance for the SEC.

I mean, Texas can still be fine, make the playoff, but not a great showing. What's probably more concerning is that right now Florida State leads Alabama. Alabama, 17 to 7. Florida State has not even been good in the last few years. And Alabama is losing. It was a monsoon during the second quarter. If you want to talk about a seat being torching hot, see what happens if Alabama loses today. My guess is they'll come back.

They tend to play one game like this early in the year often. But a little bit, you know, a little bit of a surprise. There's not been a huge upset yet on the day. So the big story has probably been that John Summoral said Northwestern denied Tulane's request to wear purple jerseys. White. White jerseys in honor of the, what, 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. And he was very mad about it. Said Northwestern had disrespected the city of New Orleans.

So, yeah. I mean, it feels like they should have agreed to it, but that's also a pretty strong statement. Did Northwestern just come in and go, we hate you, New Orleans? Like, what did they do? Don't disrespect New Orleans, Matt. I guess, all right. But it's 20th anniversary. If you're Northwestern and they want to wear a special thing, just let them do it.

Tulane ended up crushing Northwestern. By the way, Tulane, if you were to ask me what team might be the most likely to make the playoff, they're probably the answer. Because with Boise State having lost in week one, they're probably the favorite to get that non-power-for. slot. Of course, every time John Summerall does well, people hear chatter about it. All right, Billy, who's up first? Taylor. Taylor, go ahead, Taylor. Hey, guys. Currently on my way up to Cincinnati for the Cats Reds double header on this fine Saturday. Yeah, man, that don't make me sad. I mean, like the loss last night,

I don't think it's going to go very well. I think it is what it is. But go ahead. Yeah, to Caldata's credit, he did have two passes. That one that got over. overturned on the sideline and then that he did that was a good pass that was a good one way zone that was the pass interference good good good point on both those but especially that was a good throw on the one where his elbow was out of bounds that was that was that was to law right am i correct about that yeah i think it was hester maybe i can't remember hester you're right you're right you're right hester but uh yeah i i'm with you i'm not really uh changed at all going into the old miss game but though the one thing that i have a complaint

about is the in-game atmosphere was horrible today. So talk about that. I get complaints probably every home game about atmosphere. But I think it is unlikely to me that I can ever remember a game where I got more than I got today. Now, of course, I wasn't there. But one person said, and we love him, Billy, but one person said it sounded like Rick was the DJ for the morning show.

Now, we love her. Yeah, it was. But was it that bad? It was pretty bad today. And, you know, back in the day, people used to complain about the music being too loud. And today it felt like you couldn't even really hardly hear it. And then they got rid of the one tradition. I got the stadium jacked up.

The fourth quarter happened. Everybody's just looking at each other like, all right, what's going on? Where's Grove Street? And, I mean, the stadium was dead at the end of the fourth quarter. People were already leaving anyways. but then they didn't play the traditional song of Grove Street to get people excited. And, I mean, it felt like a ghost town in there. There was no energy in the stadium at all.

Yeah, I appreciate the call. Atmosphere has been a consistent complaint, and I've had the complaint from when I would go to every game. But for whatever reason, I heard more of it. There were more messages to me. Maybe it was just because Grove Street didn't get played, and that's why everybody focused on it. But I heard more messages about it today than maybe any game I can ever remember. So, I don't know. They do a terrible job making the music and all that modern at Krogerfield.

It's always been like that. It's better now than it was 10 years ago. But I don't know if maybe like somebody was out. I mean, could Rick have been the DJ? Well, they probably got Dumbus Walker. and so it was probably apparently they did somebody did tell me they did play duma's Walker but you know

I don't know I don't know why it's so bad feels like it can't be that hard they do they've done better with basketball like why can't why is it still like that for football what's next Jacob Jacob go ahead Jacob hey Matt I just wanted to say that

I was pleased with the both of the running backs I think they're a definite step up from from last year. One area that I think could definitely improve is like that set in the edge.

I felt like, you know, they were getting, you know, east to west okay, but they didn't get that edge set and so they couldn't really turn it up the field. So I think that's something that could definitely be improved upon. And I will agree with the environment comment. I had a couple ladies behind me that were probably

at least 40 years older than the asking when it's a party song is going to come on. Yeah, I mean, why would they change that? Why would they change that? I mean, I appreciate the call. Like, you know, they have tried unorganically or inorganically to create a tradition at UK football forever, from the claw thing to whatever. And that was one that came organically and that people light. I don't really understand why you would change it.

It's the one thing people seem to think was kind of cool. And yeah, when people's grandmothers know it, you know, you could argue maybe that makes it to where it's not as cool, but like it's cooler than Dumas Walker. Where's the, it's the party song? I love that. Ethel. Is it a party yet?

Where's walka flaca? The hateful truth is next. hateful truth how are you first time long time matt who ah what's up bama comes up short on first down go ahead well i just got to say this team has a long way to go stoops is not motivated and at one point during postgame show with tom leach he said that calzada was not fully prepared well that's all on coped stoops who said that who said they weren't fully prepared mark stoops did it one point. I forgot the exact wording, but basically it wasn't that Calazada was fully prepared.

Yeah, and that's true. I didn't hear him say, to be fair, I didn't hear him say that on the radio comments. I listen. Now, if he said at the press conference, I didn't, I'm not saying you're wrong, but I did not hear him say that on the radio comments. Are you saying that was on the press conference? Well, I think I heard it on the radio part. It sounded like he said that they, he didn't say it wasn't his best performance. and he said he said he wasn't very good and it wasn't his best performance. Billy, do you remember? Did he say he wasn't prepared?

Not that explicitly. I don't remember. Okay. Well, I think it's important. Like, if that were true for a seventh year, that's a bad side. But, you know, maybe we'll look back and play, see what he said. But go ahead. And in my opinion, there is no way in the world that a max school that finished six

in their conference should come in and have more yards than an SEC school. Toledo had 329 yards and we had 305. And I think everybody saying our defense was great. They wasn't very good if you're giving up 329 yards. Well, but to be fair, a lot of that is that 95-year-old drive at the end, right? And don't get me wrong. They should. I agree with that completely.

But at that point, and I'm not disagree with you. You're right. It shouldn't have happened. I do think that they kind of let their foot off the gas. I mean, I didn't watch the game at any point and not think Kentucky's defense was controlling the game. Did you? Well, there was a lot of it that I just felt like, you know, they finished six in the Mac. We're in SEC school.

It's time to get after a little bit. We played a lot at the very beginning. We'd run the clock down to nine, five seconds. Yeah, I don't like that. You're right. Why are you scared of death of Toledo? Run after them. Get some.

Some. I think that is a totally fair point. Appreciate the call. Totally fair point. I still felt like for most, until the fourth quarter, I kind of felt like our defense was controlling it. Now, it is fair to criticize that fourth quarter, but I think the defense is still going to be good.

Florida State is up 17 to 7, just broke one. They're inside the five, Billy, to potentially go up 24 to 7. Wow. Yeah. Freshman quarterback for Alabama. That would be touchdown Florida State. That, I mean, that would be an unbelievable result. Not only if Alabama lost, but to just get taken to the woodshed by Florida State.

Wow. What's next? Peyton. Peyton, go ahead, Peyton. Hey, man. First time on time. Who are? I was at the game.

I would say probably 85% full, 85% probably. And when you consider the offseason we've had, when you consider, the offseason, the negativity, the sort of 11% approval rating that the athletic had and all that. I actually don't think that's bad for your first opponent. I expect it will be full next week for Ole Miss. I agree. Another thing, I've got a couple things to say. Cal's out of seventh year, seventh year, could old enough to have children.

You got to hand that off to the runner back, not get a safety there. Yeah, it's terrible play. Terrible play, especially at a time in the game where, like we're owning it. Don't do anything stupid. That was a terrible play. You're right. And then the last thing is, is Lane Kipp, like we do play bad next week,

Lane Kippen will try to put AD on us. He will. You're exactly right. He will. Since we won last year, he will definitely try. And we just can't let him do it. Appreciate the call. Shout out, by the way, to Aidan Leros, the punter.

After that safety, that was a great kick. Because, you know, they could have ended up with good field position there. momentum, who knows. And he pins them inside the 20 after that. That was very, very well done. What's next? Big Blue Josh. Big Blue Josh.

Go ahead. Yeah, we talk. Hey, Matt, Big Blue Josh here. And I got two quick points for you. Well, I know Calzada is going to get a lot of slander. But I think a lot of that's on our offensive coordinator, Bush Hamden. I think you should have made some better play. But if Calzada can't throw over 15 yards.

I appreciate it. call that's a fake voice i don't know that's a fact i appreciate to call that's i appreciate the call billy yeah he's gone no i was on the phone when i said it originally okay that was a fake voice that wasn't his real voice plus the sense i heard somebody say something before i'm okay with whatever points you make absent not cussing but you can't use the fake voice so that you could i i listen i've been doing this while i can hear it what's next jerry jerry go ahead jerry hey man well The important thing is, this is a dangerous game they could have lost and they won it. Correct.

Correct. But going forward, I think I said before, if they won by more than 14, you can feel better about the rest of the season, less than 14, and we'll see. I think the defense will get most of the game. The thing that worries about the defense is when they went to tempo, the defense struggled and went on a 95-yard drive, and Ole Miss is coming here next weekend, and they'll see that the whole game.

That's a good. You're exactly right about that. Part of me wonders, though, because I heard Tom and Jeff say this. Like, Toledo doesn't ever do that. Part of me wonders if maybe they weren't completely prepared for that because they don't do it. But you're right. If that's a sign of things to come, then we're in trouble because Ole Miss will do tempo.

A lot of teams we play will. But I kind of wonder if maybe that was just something they didn't prepare for a lot because that's not what Toledo normally does. Well, we'll see. And everybody's discussed it. When we get these SEC games, they're going to load the line of scrimmage with eight or nine guys and Derek Kentucky to throw the ball. There we are. We'll be able to throw the ball.

Much more than 95 yards a game. So we'll see. You're exactly right. I would have loved to have seen him blow this team out by more than 14 so you can feel better. But, you know, like I said, hey, we'll just, we'll find that next week. We will see what we will have tonight. They're playing tonight. And we'll, you know, deal with them more.

But, yeah, and everybody's right. Lane Kiffin, he's going to try and do Steve Spurter on us if he can because of what happened last year. So we'll see. You're exactly right. Appreciate it, Jerry. I would be interested if somebody who knows more about football like the X&Os than I do would have the, what do they call it, the All-22 or whatever film. Yeah. And CFR receivers got open.

Because, you know, you can't see that on the broadcast. You can't see where the receivers are. They're following the ball in the line of scrimmage. So it would be interesting to me to see if guys were open. I remember Levis's second year, Freddie's saying to me, hey, you know, Will's not playing great, but some of these guys just aren't open. Like they're not getting open down field. And so you can't always see that.

So it would be interesting to see, like, are our guys open or not? And it's just, there's just no way for me to know that based on what I see, you know, on the game film. What's next? Jose. Jose, how are you? Hey, Matt. First thing to say is happy birthday. My mom actually has the same birthday.

So, that's great. Happy birthday to your mom. Yeah. Thank you. Second thing is I am extremely disappointed. Less than 100 yards passing. That's disappointing. Not even a touchdown.

Very disappointing. back to our stands being really empty and our punter being the best player. That's actually... Well, first of all, I don't think either of those things are true. I don't think the stands were really empty. There were, you know, we weren't full. And that's, were you at the game? I was not.

Okay, so you have to remember the camera angle where they shoot the game from, they're shooting the visitor sidelines. And so you're seeing the upper level, the visitor sidelines, going to be the most empty part of the stadium. So that's why it can be misleading. Now, it is not true that the punter is the best part of the game. Alex Safari was great. We had a lot of defenders play well.

Our running backs were good. I know that's a good joke to say the punter's the best player, but he's not. Alex Safari is an NFL player, and he played excellent today. Okay. I guess we'll just agree to disagree. You won't give me that Alex Safari would play excellent with 13 tackles? No, Alex Safari. Alex Safari played great.

I mean, he was, he was an amazing player. And so you won't say he was the best player. He got all the tackles. Okay, no, he was the best player, but who was the best player on the offense? My backs were pretty good. I mean, you know, we had one big run. That was about it. Yeah, but some of that's not, I mean, some of that was, you know, they, they can't make

a hole where it doesn't exist, right? I mean, I look at running backs, I judge them by when you get a, when you get a lane, can you hit a burst and go? Dowdale did that. And then secondly, how many yards do you get after you get hit? And these guys, while they're not Benny and Chris, while they're not Benny and Chris, they did pretty well. They turned a lot of two and three yard gains into four and five yard gains.

And when we were running up the middle, we kind of controlled the line of scrimmage. So I thought they played pretty well. Okay. I mean, we're giving up a safety to a MAC team. Yeah, but that was on, that wasn't on the running backs. That was on Calzada and the offensive one? No, not on the running backs, exactly. And Calada, the running backs, and the offensive line are the heart of our offense.

That's, I mean, not a lot to look forward to. I mean, that may be true. We'll see. I am not, you know, I'm not quite as down on, I thought the running game, in order to beat a team like a Mac team and beat them relatively easily, you need your running game to dominate. I don't know that I would say it dominated, but I say it was close to dominant. I think they ran the ball really well.

And, of course, then they finally got rewarded by Bustin one. I'll also note about our defense. We had two strips, $6 billion just didn't come up with them. Yeah. Right. I mean, those are two plays that you could have had the game be over in the first half if those two strips. So, you know. That's a big fourth down stops as well.

Yeah, yeah, exactly. So I'm pretty positive on the defense. Again, the last drive sucked, but put that to the side, generally pretty positive. 859-280-2287. We will take a break and be right back. It's the local toy dealers, KSR Post-Gam Show. Welcome back. It is the local toy dealers KSR post-game show.

Alabama driving, you got to think maybe driving to try to stay in the game. 24-7 with six minutes of 49 seconds left in the third quarter. Just an absolutely crazy result tonight. what you get LSU and Clemson which should be I don't know those those are LSU is my pick to win the whole thing of course they they could lose tonight and it wouldn't really matter but it'd be interesting to see where those two teams are I always tend to over I always tend to go against Clemson so I'm going to do that again tonight but you do you do wonder I mean Texas lost Alabama's losing uh I wonder what's we'll see what happens with the rest of the top of the

SC. USC got a big win last night with Auburn over Baylor. Baylor's one of the probably, that's a game where, you know, Auburn's one of the bottom tier teams in the SEC. To go on the road and win at Baylor, that's a pretty good win for the conference. Tennessee beat Syracuse was up most of the game by a decent amount. All right. Who's up next? Bluegrass is next.

Bluegrass. What's up? I'll tell you what, Matt. When I listen to the replay of my voice, what I call in, I sure wish it was a fake voice. I tell you that much. I know yours. I know yours. Yours isn't fake.

I'll tell you what. Now, you didn't caught me off a ledge. I was a little bit aggravated, but I guess that's why I listen to you, Matt, because I was really, you know, peed off a little bit. But I tell you what, I was in Austin when Vince Young put that read option in, you know, and when they ran it, and never not one time did I ever see him run it inside the end zone. Now, you can't put that. That's a Bush Hampton thing.

That's not a, yeah, I agree. Actually, I'm glad you said that. I'm glad you said that. I'm glad you. you said that because he did make the wrong read, but you're right. I don't understand why you run that right there. Because you make it to where if your quarterback makes the wrong read, you're setting yourself up for exactly what happened.

Now, Bush would probably argue, I got a seventh-year quarterback. I got to be able to trust he makes the right read. Maybe so. You've got to run some kind of dive. You've got to run some kind of dive really quick, so we don't have to make a decision. We just push them. Hey, don't we have bigger guys? our guys making more money.

I mean, we've got to win one-on-one competitions right there. And we generally did, though. I mean, that's the other reason I thought that was weird, is generally when we were in those situations, we'd get three or four yards. So it was an odd decision. You're exactly right to do it right there. All right.

Thanks a lot, fellas. Appreciate it. 859-280-2287. What's next? Snoop is next. Snoop. What's up, Snoop? How you doing?

I think, man, well, the reason we, O.C. did what he did was because we're going to get Ole Miss next week. We don't want to give, we don't want to give everything away. Okay, so that argument comes into play probably every year at the first game. And generally speaking, I give credibility to it. But, Snoop, I can't give credibility to it this year because this was a game you could lose. Right? Like Toledo's picked to win their conference. And I have to think, maybe they didn't open up the whole playbook,

but I have to think they put a lot of it in because this was a game that literally, if they lose, it's hard to see how Mark Stoops is still the coach next year. So a lot of years I agree with you. I'm not sure I agree with you. But do you think we was ever in a position today where coaches was like, okay we need to open up the full playbook. We need to let these receivers show exactly all they got. That's a fair question.

What I would say is there was a long period of the game where it was 10 to 2, and it was a one-score game, and we had multiple chances to score and probably put the game away, and we had like three or four possessions where we didn't, where, you know, we'd get to like their 40 and then punt. you know, I would have thought of that. I feel like Mark don't ever want to put, he's never one of those guys that are always about putting the game away. So I guess that's true.

You're right about that. You're right about that. You're right. Thank you, Snoop. Appreciate it. You know, the only time in this game I was really nervous, like really nervous, was like when it was 10 to 2 and we just kept, it felt like we were on the brink of making it a 2-score game and we just couldn't do it.

And that was the time I would have thought, if you're holding anything back, and I kind of don't think they were. If you were, you do it right there because it was 10-2 for a long time. What's next? Kyle is next. Kyle, go ahead, Kyle. 859-2-80-22-806. Hey, Matt, I got to give credit to Brad White.

I mean, he's the only coach on our staff whenever he talks. I feel like I believe him. You know, whenever he talks about being ready-prepared, I believe in Brad White. And my second point is, I know that you follow golf. I'm a big golf guy, and I love getting into the statistics of golf with strokes gained. And my favorite statistic is what we call the eye test. And when I look at Bush Hamden's body of work last year and now today, that eye test statistic is just telling me he's kind of stinky.

I just, I'm kind of done. I'm out on that, I think. Well, when you say that, let me go back for a second to you on the eye test on golf, how does it work in golf? Because Jim Furek has the worst golf swing that's ever existed. Well, it's one of the things where it's like all the stats, you know, for example, like Rory run the Masters, and then he goes and he won the players, and then you go through and he's like statistically, he's one of the best players on tour,

but the eye test is telling me he's kind of in a slump, even though his statistics are good. I see what you're saying. I just don't see it for Lori. I see, okay, that makes sense. And Bush's statistics last year were, bad and so it's kind of validating the eye test that it just kind of stinks i think i worry about it i appreciate the call because i will say this outside of the first game of the season last year i don't think bush hamden's offenses look good yet even the games we look like even old miss

last year i mean remember what our big play was billy we just threw a bomb just threw it up in the air Yeah. Like, up for grabs, and Barry Brown went up and got it. You know, I haven't loved, I have not loved the Bush-Hamden offensive experience. But part of it may be that I just don't really know what we're doing. I don't know what his game plan is. I don't know, you know, it looked like tonight. We were pounding the ball, old school, Mark Stoops, run.

And then all of a sudden we get to the 40. and back-to-back possessions, we throw six out of seven passes when we're in an area where all we needs like five yards to probably get a field goal that gives you a two-score lead. I didn't understand that. I didn't understand the play call that led to the safety, you know? So, yeah, I'm probably not totally in on it because I don't really understand what he's trying to do.

Let's do two more. We'll take a break. Who's next? Cameron is next. Cameron, go ahead, Cameron. Hey, man, Billy. He'll be all doing all right. So, like, into this game, as I was watching, the things I'm excited about,

just as a Kentucky fan, you know, the pass rush and everything as defensive linemen, fantastic. Alice Safari, to me, him moving from defensive back to the linebacker. You can see the speed. He's all over the field. He's something that, especially in the SEC play, he's going to be able to make plays on the perimeter and stuff going east to west and everything. But if Talzada can't figure out how to come off of, like, our run game,

which is what Mark Shoupes wants to do, and be able to put a ball downfield for 20, 25 yards, then that's a problem. It's just something we've got to figure out. So, you know, that's just, you know, my opinion, have you hear your thoughts, and I can hang up and listen to the golf. Yeah, no, you're right. I mean, he appreciate the call,

except for the one where he went out of bounds. That's the only time they went deep where they were able to get a completion. And the caller, I don't know who said it. I guess it was Jerry, who said they're going to put eight, nine in the box and say, beat us deep. that's going to happen. And then we have to ask ourselves, do we have wide receivers who can do it? And again, I can't really see on the tape to know.

24-10, Florida State leads Alabama five minutes left in the third quarter. I keep saying this because this would be, I think this would be a pretty monumental upset if it were to happen. What's next? Dennis. Dennis. Dennis, go ahead, Dennis. Hey, guys, a few points here. Number one, bluegrass is absolutely correct.

that safety is on the offense coordinator. Number two, you just mentioned it. I was there at the game. The wide receivers were getting no separation. Okay, so you were watching for that. Yes, they got no separation today on the, they got no separation. That's a problem. It is a problem.

Now, again, I will point out, and if I hadn't heard Luckett on the pregame, I would have thought it's even more of a problem than it was. But Luckett did say that there are, two of the four guys in Toledo's secondary are going to be NFL draft picks, that they are, like, much better than a normal max secondary. But in the SEC, we're going to play a lot more of those guys. Yeah, but, yeah, that's a problem, Matt. And the SEC, you're playing against NFL defense backs every week.

He's exactly right. So, yeah, no, you're right. You're exactly right. So that's a major problem. So not all that was on Zach Calzada today. His receivers were getting no separated. The only people that was getting open today, and that's probably a lot of it had to do with the play caught was the tight ends.

Yeah, you're right. I'm very concerned about the wide receivers. All right. Appreciate the call, and I think that's a fair. I think that's the reason I think that's fair. Remember, earlier this week, Bush Hamden was asked. When the depth chart came out and he said there's three receivers and they're both oars, and he said, is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Bush Hamden and Billy said, I guess we'll see. Well, maybe that was more of a bad thing than it was. We just got so many guys who can... Well, maybe he was a little too bold with his offensive line comments. He just decided to not go that route again. Yeah. I mean, I thought our offensive line was pretty good. I mean, they had one or two breakdowns, but I...

Consider what it was last year, I thought it was certainly improved. All right, we'll take a break. We will come back for the final segment. 2416, Cats beat Toledo. We got one more. When we come back, it's the local toy dealers, KSR, post-game show. Welcome back. It is the local toy dealers, KSR post-game show.

I'm not going to say the last name here, just because, but I do think this is a funny text on the text machine. 772-7-4-5-254. One person writes, my son is on a tee-ball team, coached by guy named Anthony. We played a game against both. Bush Hamden's son. We crushed him. Bush was heard commenting, wow, their team is really well coached.

He was impressed by my friend Anthony's terrible coaching. I lost all faith in him then and then and that. Oh, no. Oh, no. Poor Anthony. Right? Yeah, he's calling him out. He's impressed by that.

Did you watch the Lee Corso's final thing today? Did you get to see that? Yeah, it was very sweet. Let me tell you a couple things I thought were very nice. First of all, how about Fox Sports showing it as well? Yeah. On their show. That's awesome.

There are some things that are more important than trivialities like what network, and that was very cool. I thought it was cool that Ohio State, like had him be part of it. Obviously great symbolism. First time he did one of those was at Ohio State. Next time, last time he does it is there. He was like one of only two people to pick Ohio State. State, and he ended up being right, Billy.

He also was the only person to pick Florida State, and they're winning right now. Well, that's a Homer pick from him. That's a Homer pick, but also, wouldn't it be cool to see Florida State win for him? That would be a little something special on this day. There would be no doubt about it. You know, one of the great, like, we've talked about his impact on college football, and I mean, everybody said it. But he also, just, it is incredibly sweet that in a society where we, like, throw people away too often

when they get older and try to, you know, forget about them, that he still was allowed to keep doing that and finish kind of on his terms and have that moment. I just thought, like, that's what's great about, but all the nonsense that happens with college sports and all that. Then you get stuff like that. And I just thought that was very cool. So a lot of people made that happen, but I thought that was great.

All right, let's, we'll do one more segment here, 859, 28027, who's next? on the flip side did you see portnoy what did he do do he like talked trash to the other yeah just had everybody booed I mean that you got to assume he's going to do that why are you bringing him on if you don't want him to do that right

isn't that the old Florida State with a huge air right it's saying get what are you doing letting a ball hit you on a punt but I mean Billy if you're going to have him on you got to assume he's going to do that that's going to be his role right yeah yeah I mean if you didn't want him to do that then don't bring him on the show had a Michigan shirt got everybody in you know riled up. That's what you should do. And then picked Ohio State.

You know, credit to him. Either, you know, if you don't want him to do that, don't put him on the show. Who's next? Robbie. Robbie, go ahead, Robbie. Hey, guys, I was at the game today, and I thought the atmosphere was great. I saw it when one in the first half. And my question would be is, why didn't they pass the ball more to law? I felt like he was getting open. Yeah, I don't know. Well, okay, well, you could see.

Did you think he was open? I mean, that other caller said he didn't think so. I mean, I did. I mean, what I saw, there were plenty of opportunities to throw the ball to him. And another question I had was Quisenberry. I noticed they didn't bring him back out after he almost fumbled that punt return there. Well, you could.

You can understand. I don't, you know, back to your first question, I appreciate the call. Hard for me to be able to say on law, I will say this. In the offseason, everyone around the team would tell you law will make big plays, we'll bust it. On a team where I didn't see anybody open, if he was open at all, they got to go to it because they need it. I mean, they clearly don't have a ton of guys that can get separation.

And, I mean, he had, I don't know, how many targets? Did he even have Billy? Do you know how many times they even threw it his way? I'd have to see, but his name wasn't mentioned a lot. I only saw the one time. I can think of one. Yeah. Yeah.

Who's next? Luke. Luke. Go ahead, Luke. Well, Matt. Normally I am a negative Nancy about games like this, but I don't want to be completely negative. I just don't think that's super productive.

Defense was solid. Run game. You know, some positive. for sure. Offensive line wasn't a disaster. But, you know, frankly, you know, I watch on the All-22 camera and the receivers weren't really that open. But to be honest, a good quarterback throws his receivers open. Okay. So you watch on the, you watch on the All-22 camera. So you felt like there was enough that if he was playing well, he could have gotten him.

If he was good. I mean, like, you know, like, I mean, realistically, when you're playing, when you're playing at this level, Matt, you've got to throw guys open. I mean, that's just the reality of it. These defenses are good. These guys are phenomenal athletes. You've got to throw them open. I mean, if you're going to be a college quarterback in the SEC or the Big Ten or play in the NFL, you have to throw receivers open. That's just how this works. You're not always going to throw to wide open guys. And frankly, he can't do it. I mean, I think you give him the old Miss game because I think you kind of have to. But if he stinks it up, I know you were talking about that by week. Now, you've got to put him in against Eastern Michigan. You want to.

want him to have an easy game to get his feet wet because he'll be playing against the defense that isn't that great, get him some confidence, then you've got that by week to work on anything that he didn't do well and fill in some holes, figure out what he does well. But one last thing, if I may. Let me just stop right there before you do the last part. That's actually a very good point. That's a very good point. I mean, I sort of thought of it the way I had said, but you make a decent case in say,

like give him a game where because you know remember when he started last year cutter bowley first game he had to go on the road to texas right and now you'd make him go on the road to south carolina those are tough places to get your feet wet go ahead with your other point yeah i just want to say with this bush handen this dude sucks i mean i don't know how else you can say it other than that i mean you listen to guy talk for 15 seconds and i got to ask is the guy stupid or is he stoned i mean and if i'm asking that question that's not a good sign Like, I don't know what he's doing on the offense. I mean, that safety was so atrocious.

And that, why are we calling a read option in the shadow of our own goalpost? Bro, get under center and run the ball down between the tackles. You run through the A gap, man. You expand half that guy's feet on. I thought you said you weren't being negative. They won. They won. So 1 and 0, you can't go 12 in 0 until you're 1 and 0, right?

There. I appreciate it. I appreciate the call. I love that. He started that by saying, now, I'm not going to be negative. and finally Indy was yelling let's do

we'll do four more who's that Jason Jason go ahead go ahead Jason hey man I'm laughing at the previous

caller there just wrapping it up I want to touch on a few things that you sit on here I'm driving home from the game first off crowd showed up after all the negativity on the off season

crowd was there wasn't expecting a style much better crowd atmosphere Our music, atrocious, never got the crowd into the game, hyped up. Thank God it was not a big game. O-line did a good job controlling the game. We ran the ball when we needed to. Quarterback play, weak.

Also, I want to answer a question for you. What Bush Ham is doing when we get over to a 4-yard line, we throw six times in a row? He's looking at his stat sheet and looking at it going, oh, we've ran the ball more times when we've thrown it. I've got to catch up with that. That is the Boise State's play calling system. That's what they want to do. to be 50-50 on all play callings. Terrible way to look at it.

Go get us in field goal range in that game for us. That's my thoughts on it. I agree with the previous call. Go ahead. I was going to say agree with the previous caller. If Galzola comes out, it looks like turd against Ole Miss. We've got to make the call to move the ball. And the last point I was going to make is receivers are decently open,

but also that goes on to play calling. We've got to do a better job of making play calls to, open our receivers up. We are running too much play option, which leads to two routes. Those are either a slant or an out, and those are easy things to cover if they know they're coming. That's all, I'll hang up and listen to you. It's all good points. I mean, I agree with virtually all of them. It's interesting what you say about the Boise State thing. I don't know that I've heard that their goal is to do 50-50. But if it is the case that he's looking at there and going, we need to pass the same amount

as a run, especially in a game like this, where you're, owning the line of scrimmage, that would be a huge mistake. I just, I really, really hated those play calls. I know it's like a third time I brought them up, but I really hated them because I genuinely thought if we can get this to a two score game, it's over. And that ended up happening, but it took way too long. We had multiple opportunities to get it to a two score game. I even thought if we have a field goal, we're going to be fine.

And it took a long time, and if it wasn't for, well, I guess I guess Dowdales was the one that got to 24 points. But nevertheless, that should have happened earlier. And I don't know why we threw on those calls. Three more. Who's next? We have a young Wendell on the phone. Wendell, how are you, Widdell?

Good. Good. What's up? I went to the game with my dad. I was driving back. You were driving? Wait a minute. Did you drive?

Running back. Hang on, Wendell. Did you drive? No. I don't think you have a license. Yeah, and I think the running backs are way better. Okay. We did a bad play call on a safety.

That play was just. Yes, we did. Well, all right, well, let me tell you, if you're going to get behind the wheel, remember, buckle up, Wendell and put your phone down, okay? Okay. Okay. All right. There you go.

Thanks, Wendell. You got to be safe. I thought that was a good call. I don't want to hear your mouth, Billy. What's next? Jimmy is next. Jimmy, go ahead, Jimmy. Hey, Jimmy can hear you just fine, Matt.

Okay. To be honest, so Jimmy's a little, he's still a little down. I moved little Jimmy into school last week. Kind of been pouting looking forward to today to kind of lift my spirits up and it just didn't do it. Not at all. I don't know. I just wish we were better.

Part of it is, I think part of it, and you tell me if you agree with this, Jimmy, for me it's about what you wanted to have happen. Okay, so if you looked at this and said, I want to feel really good about this team, and I want to come out of this thinking we're going to go to a bowl, then, yeah, I could see how this would be a little disappointment. I came into it saying,

we cannot lose this game. If we lose this game, the Mark Stoops era might be like on its way to be an over. We cannot lose this game. So from that perspective, I guess I'm not as down because my goal was just do not lose. I get that, but I'm tired of being that way. I want to beat these type of teams like a SEC team should. You know what I mean?

I do. But remember, this team beat Pitt and Mississippi State last year. year. Now, that, now, granted, this is it was awful last year. They were awful. So I mean, yes, you need to do better. All right. One last thing. So when do you think we will have an over 300 yard passing game out of this office? Are we talking 2027? This year? Like, when is this going to happen? Oh, yeah. I don't, not this year. Yeah, I don't know. What's the over under on games? I will say. I'm going to say 20.

Because the problem, here's the problem with getting 300 yards. When we're playing some of these teams like Tennessee Martin, if they could do it, they don't want to do it because they don't want to embarrass them. Right. So I'm going to say 20. That's a problem. I'm going to say, here's what we're going to do it. I appreciate the call.

Billy, we're going to get the, we're going to get 300 yards passing. when we play our second Mac team in 2027. Hold on. Let me stand on one leg, second Mac team. But the equivalent of the Eastern Michigan game in 2027. Oh, okay. All right. That's when we do it.

So it's like game three, right? Because basically our schedule is going into a pattern now. Bad team, first SEC game, bad team. That second bad team is 27. We're throwing for 300 yards. Well, do we have that now with nine conference games? They had to back up Kent State to like 2031 or something like that. Good point.

Will they ever throw for 300 yards? Never. All right. One more. Who's next? Travis. Travis. Go ahead, Travis.

Hey, Matt, this is first time caller. Who are? I just had a question. I hope that you can answer for me. Back home where I live, I can't really talk to nobody about football because all they can answer is, oh, we're a lot. a basketball school and that's why we got a good football school. And my question

as always been is, you know, Rupp Arena, I've been there and I've been to the Proger Field. Reparina holds 20 some thousand. Progher Field, I believe, 70. And without saying much more,

my question is, why can't we be a football school and a basketball school with what I just said without going into much data. We should be up there with this.

This is a much broader conversation. But there's a big reason why. Here's the big reason why. There's many reasons. Demographic. We don't produce talent like a lot of these other states in our state. We don't have the history.

Resources. We have good resources, but we don't have great resources. And the other thing is, what you said about the first part, remember all these other schools, like they don't care about basketball, really. Now, Alabama's been good recently, but at some point, Nate Oates will probably go do something else. They don't really care. But the biggest thing is demographics, like the state of Kentucky, we do not produce football players.

We are never playing a home game in recruiting except for like two or three kids a year. and like in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Georgia, we're like farther away from those schools than all the schools that are recruiting. Now, in a world of money, and I appreciate the call, in a world of money, that stuff matters a little less, but these other schools have money too. Like we, you know, we have a couple of really big donors who write really big checks. But here's the thing. Alabama, Georgia, Auburn. They got like a bunch of those people. We have two.

I mean, we have a lot of other people that give money, but we only, like they've got a ton of people. So you're in an arms race with teams that have everything we have and more. And we already start behind them because we don't really have a history and we don't really produce players in our state. So that's the short answer to what is a kind of long question. Oh, yeah, we share the state with Louisville. Not all these states like Louisiana, Georgia.

They don't really share the state with other programs recruiting the same kind of players. So it just means for a lot of reasons that we're behind. However, we did beat Toledo. 24 to 16, we get the victory. We start 1 and 0, which was the most important thing. And now next week is Ole Miss. We got a whole week to get ready for it. But before then, enjoy your Labor Day weekend.

I will be on ESPN tomorrow morning. We will not have a show on Monday. Also remember, KS Bar is closed on Monday as well if you were wanting to do that. And then next week, we're back in, back ready to go. We'll be back there on Tuesday for the show. Billy, thank you very much. Thank you, Matt. For staying with us.
