  • DEMAREE: Brad White feels a Sense of Urgency

    By: LONNY DEMAREE

    The University of Kentucky see its eight games in front of them that they still see as winnable.
    White sees a mistake here and one there and it all ties together.

    A mistake on the back side doesn’t hurt as much as one on the play side that create a real problem.
    There’s been statements among the coaches of not getting to high which interferes with taking care of your individual responsibilities.

    White said: “It’s a fine line because you do that but don’t want take the football player out of them. You need to do your job but then tear off and make a play.

    “Every player wants to see their name in the stat sheet but it’s about the scoreboard at the end of the game.”

    “We need to make more plays because in two game we haven’t forced a turnovers to give our offense short fields. Interceptions have been at a minimum over the last two year but we have forced fumbles.”

    Mark Stoops interjects another theory. He said in the past he called our attention that with far less talent they led the SEC in forced fumble recoveries. Implying that sometime luck plays a big part.

    How are the players responding from the two losses, both that were there to be had? White said they have come to the practice field with a good attitude and practiced hard. No head hanging.

    Chris Rodriquez describe the approach after a game in that they have a twenty-four hour clock in their head. This meaning they give themselves 24-hours and after that it’s on to the next week.

    Playing against Mike Leach’s defense reincarnates a former defensive coordinator at Mississippi State Joe Lee Dunn. Like his, Leach’s defense plays a lot of 3-5-3 defense and the move around a lot even up to the snap. This is designed to confuse the offensive line and offense as a whole.

    White said they will have to tackle well because the Air-Raid is largely predicated on short passes and underneath stuff that stretch’s into a big play.

    Fans need to do their part Saturday night and mainly like the last game show up.

      Good stuff Lonny.

      It may be that the defense is not accustom to seeing a real passing offense leading up to the season. Other than six or eight UK pass plays per game the rest are variations of a run (after the catch) offense.
      Gran does not employ a traditional passing game and never will at UK.
