UGA vs. UK Recap (and some thoughts on LS pulling a TO).
Note: I was going to post this yesterday before the weather in this part of the world went to hell in a handbasket. I'll be back with something more timely later.
Try as they might, an incredibly shorthanded Bulldog club was unable to beat Tubby's Cats in Lexington. This is not surprising, of course. What was surpirising was Steve Newman playing a whale of a game (again) when we needed him to. Newman is not a "next level" guy, but he has been quietly solid this year when we've needed him to be. We didn't turn the ball over nearly as much as we have in the past. Unfortunately UK shot lights out, and generally played a great second half at home, which is precisely what you are supposed to do. If this game were played in Athens, I think we win. Oh yeah, we did. As I said yesterday, the SEC is not a good place to be visiting. When the home teams shoots 59% from the field, 54% from behind the arc, and 85% from the line, they usually win. Simple as that.
As for Stukes, if he in fact blew off a mandatory lifting session and spouted off to the staff, then he got what he deserved. Rules are rules, and this program has plenty of experience with proponents of situational discipline. It hurts, but as long as the players know the standards, then I can't fault Felton for applying them
