It was a day in Columbia we’ll all remember, as the Kentucky Wildcats stormed back from a 17-point deficit to defeat South Carolina 35-34 in overtime in a must-win for Shane Beamer. How did they pull it off and what does it all mean? That’s what’s so great about Sundays, as Justin Rowland and Jeff Drummond come together for House of Blue Hot Take Review every week to answer those questions.
Oh, and they also get to the bottom of Big Blue Nation’s red-hot takes, no matter how ridiculous or perfectly sane.
Among those discussed this week:
- “A&M was a dominant road win, something I don’t think we ever saw against SEC opponents under Stoops. USC Jr. comeback win was 100% a game we lose under Stoops. Hot take? We hired the right guy. Also, I love that we’re using our stud TEs to catch passes.”
- “I love playing to win and not to tie. I don’t care if they had lost on the game on that call, I want someone who plays to win.”
- “It is so incredibly nice to watch a modern offense. Coach Stein is who we want Coach Pope to be.”
- “Horrible clock management last 2 min of the game. All time giant balls call in OT to win. Winning is winning.”
- “No reason they can’t beat OU, Tenn, and Mizzou on the road now.”
No dreaming too big with this group moving forward—especially with a win next week against LSU…
