Wilkerson is a JAG and Edwards is being made to look bad by being misused.
He is correct
There is a 0.0% chance this team could be undefeated
No, not the undefeated, no way
Wilkerson has shown he's the best RB on the team this year. Hits the hole hard, runs angry, forward lean on contact for extra yards, actually gets a piece on pass pro. Yet he gets minimal playing time. That's a coaching issue pure and simple and should be a great cause for alarm.
Edwards had one really ridiculously amazing game. It was against a team that didn’t know what was coming for them. Since then he has been criminally misused by this staff.
Flea is just inexplicable with his decisions.
Wilkerson is CP's guy from JSU which makes this all even more of a head scratcher. As for Edwards, somebody decided they were going to use him as a 1st and second down back after TCU. The mere fact he was our primary pass pro back and inside run option for 8 games at 5-9 170 says everything you need to know about Flea's ability to coach the position.
You want your players to be confident, not egregiously unaware of how awful the most important position groups on your team are. I want our program out of the news for being delusional
Dude played 4 years in the SEC. I think he knows if guys are able to compete.
So you think we have the guys in the trenches to compete to be undefeated because Kavosiey Smoke played 4 years at Kentucky and said so? Interesting.
Against our schedule, I believe no one wasn't beatable with the talent on the roster. Oregon is the exception in that it would have taken A-game level execution along with some bounces favoring us and having all of our key players healthy. But, yes, I believe the talent is much better than the record and that we haven't come close to seeing this team put it all together and perform to its capabilities for 4 quarters - and I think Smoke's statement reveals some of the "why" of that.
I think the talent on this roster is precisely in line with the W/L record. The assistant coaches are all Meh, which doesn’t help. Smoke sounds like a great kid and I wish him all the best in life but he was a career backup for most of his time at Kentucky. These portal guys need Strategy Counselors, if there are such things. If he wanted to have a greater chance of PT (and I agree he probably should have gotten more here) he should have transferred to a C+ team in the Sunbelt or CUSA.
Jesus, nik. Now you just sound like a Nebraska fan. Literally saying a 4-8 team has the talent to be undefeated.
The talent we have on this roster is worthy of 6-6. We got straight up coached out of 2 wins this year. I'll die on this mountain.
How many of the losses do you think were no-hopers even if the team had played well that day?
Agree on the average tag. But, he still was our best option this year and proved it each time he got out there. And yet we all got to watch Edwards get swallowed every time he touched the ball, McCaskill run like he was made of glass and Hankerson bumble, stumble and fumble all over the place.
In reality, Oregon, UCLA and Washington State were all no hopers and possibly Utah next week. I would say USC was a no hoper, but we had a great comeback that made it look a lot closer. I agree that 7 wins was very realistic, but TCU and CSU were also 50/50 games that CU happened to come out on top, so 4-5 wins is probably about right.
Oregon State is also a no hope. Our defense is not built to stop their run
We lost that by 7 points despite a major blunder. That's a "no hoper" to have gone differently?
Yes, I would also put USC in this category. Yes we lost by only 7 points, but we can not stop them when the game matters. I fully believe if we don't make mistake, if we tie the game, if we pin them down to 1 yard line, eventually they will score. I see Oregon State and USC close to "no hope" in terms of matchup.
Troy Taylor and staff probably review the CU film when they need a good laugh.
