So, bored by the perfectionist Southern Cal, the best semi-amateur team on the planet, I switch to SportsCenter and video of Kentucky lining up for a gimme field goal with a 20-14 lead and 20 seconds to kill. Next thing I notice, Middle Tennessee State is three feet from paydirt when the clock runs dry.
The Kentucky field goal was blocked and should have been returned for six had the wimpy retriever not sidled out of bounds. Then a Hail Jesus-Mary-and-Joseph pass covered 61 yards when 62 were needed.
Coach Rich Brooks took blame for sending out a kicker who had missed three attempts already, but I don't fault him. An easy field goal puts the game on ice.
Any bitching about Brooks' call?
Afterward, offensive coordinator Joker Phillips produced the SEC quote of the day in bitching about his guys: "You see guys in pre-game singing Kanye West songs. How can they freaking understand every word that he sings and they can't understand the freaking signals?"
Maybe Joker should get Kanye to recite the playbook on a team-issued CD.
