| FTBL How can the defense allow that late td?

The game was on the line, and the D let Kentucky score. What the heck happened?

Blown coverage. It's football. It happens.

Again:

On that last touchdown, I think he was just being aggressive playing the underneath route because he knew Gary Daniels was watching and Gary Daniels LOVES aggressive DB play.

Best answer, plain and simple. It happens to the best of em.

I'm just glad that games over, certainly was an ugly one! '!@#

I think some of Gary and Vern has rubbed off.

It's DanielSON. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Way to break it down, Bran. Didn't even need to use a telestrator for that. :wink:

Mcain blew the coverage on that last play....

Probably closer than who they said.

And we know it was Marquis Johnson on the play...and that Saban blew out on the side line!

It was blown coverage. I was listening to Sam Shade while I was there and he said he was watching Saban as the D came to the sideline. They were discussing signals. They literally got their signals mixed up.

UK have the WO out and the TE on the right side both go long. We had a CB on the WO and an LB on the TE, with the Safety over the top.

When the TE got so deep, the LB (who was covering his drop zone and giving run support) has to pass of coverage responsibility to the Safety. This obligated the CB to man coverage. This scenario would have been understood before the snap.

This issue is that the CB did not jam the CB well enough (see CNS' jesters to the player after the play) and the WO got behind him and continue deep.

When the LB stayed shallow, confirming the pre snap assumption that the two receivers on the right side had to be in man coverage, the QBs read is simple...which receiver is open. That was the WO, and the pass went deep and outside.

The Safety released his man coverage once the ball was in the air, but by that time the WO was give enough time to get too deep for the Safety to help with the blown coverage. Pitch, catch, run, TD.

That is how it happened. Or in other words, blown coverages happen sometimes.
