Everything we were afraid of and more happened last night.

Kentucky was not ready to play last night. It was more than evident from their performance. Andre Woodson had no completions in his first nine attempts. Eventually, he went 9 for 23. What happened last night? Let's try to break it down from the beginning.

No matter how hard a team tries to prepare for Michael Bush and Brian Brohm, it's near impossible to account for both. The defense almost looked confused out there. What do we try and stop, the pass or the run? Michael Bush ended up solving that question when he busted out his first touchdown with 13 minutes left in the 1st quarter.

The offense didn't help the defense; they didn't have a drive that lasted more than 5 plays for a good part of the 1st and 2nd quarter. The defense was gassing from the beginning because they were on the field the whole game. They had no break. It was Touchdown Louisville then a kickoff and 3 plays later they were back on the field. In the beginning of the game the offense didn't help the defense one bit and that's what ultimately lost them the game. I don't push blame off the defense. Yes, the defense let the touchdowns happen, but they had no help from their offense. No time to recover. No time to adjust.

There were times that the defense looked lost out there. Defensive ends were covering wide recievers, assignments were missed, tackles were being broken through, poor throws by Brohm were passing through two Kentucky defenders before it was an incomplete pass, and Louisville was taking advantage of every opportunity.

The offense didn't even get into the game until the 2nd quarter. A 73 yard bomb to Keenan Burton was when Kentucky finally looked like they were going to start playing. Then on a drive with less than a minute to play in the 2nd quarter, a pass interference call, a botched play turned good, and a pass to Dicky Lyons Jr. later and Kentucky scored again.

Let's recap here.

Score at halftime: 31-14 Louisville

IF and that's a big if... If the Cats could have come out and scored on their opening posession of the second half, it could have been different. But, that's why it's an if. Louisville went on to dominate the second half as well and finally took down UK 58-29.

What do I know from this? The offense needs A LOT of work. The two bright spots for Kentucky were Keenan Burton 127 recieving yards and 1 rec TD (he also added 185 return yards and another TD) and Dicky Lyons Jr. 84 recieving yards and 2 rec TDs.

Where was Rafael Little when all of this was happening? HE ONLY HAD 7 CARRIES FOR 21 YARDS?!?!?! Tony Dixon only had 2 carries for 5 yards. Where was the running game? I understand that Kentucky couldn't run once they were down, but it was never there to begin with.

There are more things that need to be addressed on both sides of the ball.

The honeymoon is over.
