After week 1, where do you focus?

If you were the UK coach, where would you coach them up?

[Darrell KSR]

1) Secondary
2) Linebackers
3) Defensive line

I'm not smart enough to know how to coach them, but that's where I would start. Really, in no particular order.

[Catonahottinroof]

I'm with you Darrell. Defensive line was handled easily by UL. This is a concern because of the pressure the secondary endures on passing situations, and the LB crew in run support.
I'd also make sure our ball carriers are tucking, and two handing the ball when the contact comes.
Our offense can really help the defense out with some ball control.

[Darrell KSR]

Cat, we ran the ball so well on Louisville, even trailing, we probably should have rushed it more to control the game. Max putting the ball up 50 times is not a recipe for long-term success, IMHO.

Great point on the dropped balls. Could have played a major role. Did, actually.

Darn it Pappy!! I spewed cola all over my screen, but I might have to agree.

The line/pass rush.
Fundamentals tackling, holding on to the ball
Play calling but than again Joker has never impressed me with his play calling or lack there of.

Minter was lucky to have to of the best players in the SEC last year. Know we will see if he can really coach.

I'd start with the linebackers. They are key in run and pass support. Then go with secondary, and finally defensive line. I am sure you can make the argument several other ways.
