What the hell happened to Kiffin? Punting on 4th and 1 when you've gotten no pressure

on their QB all night? Tou needed 1 yard to end the game and you were too scared? He's not who I thought he was.


I'd take Stein and those massive balls over him right now, no questions asked.

If he didn’t get it, and Kentucky scored a TD with that field position people would also be calling him a reckless idiot.

I'm so mad about that. So mad.

You tell me you have a chance to win any game by getting 1 yard and you don't take that?

I'll take those odds. Even if you don't pick it up you can still hold them to a FG, but they were ALWAYS going to get into FG range with 4 downs to get first downs. Always. They had no issue getting into FG range and now they were going to have 4 downs to do so.

I am so mad he didn't put it away right there.

Should have gone for it. Giving the. Ball back to them was the nail in the coffin.

Crazy to pin them back with zero time outs and a shaky kicker.

The commentators were basically pleading for him to punt

Going for it there was the right call. The universe rewards shite like that.

OK? How is that different than him losing by not going for it

Defense had been playing well the second half.

He put it on the defense and they failed.

Oline and D need a lot of work.

This is the scandal of this game. Kiffin owns this loss on this call.

No, I would have just said we deserved to lose if we couldn't get 1 yard against a team playing scrubs at LB due to injury.

The honeymoon is definitely over. He’s reaching denardo level if bland coaching now.. this season is over. Nothing to play for now.

My dad literally called the qb run up the middle and 2 other plays.. if we see that from the couch, how is the staff not seeing it? They’ve been running up the middle all night on us. Already scored a TD on a qb run rivjfnuo the middle on us. Why not qb spy or containment?

Don’t even get me started on the choice to ice the game or punt.. it’s just sad

Lane kiffin tonight was the biggest COWARD of a coaching performance I’ve seen in recent memory. Brian Kelly punts that 10/10 times, paid all that money for the same cowardice. Unbelievable.
