Kenny Minchey’s numbers don’t tell the whole story in blowout loss to Tennessee

Kentucky Football’s offense repeatedly shot itself in the foot against Tennessee, but quarterback Kenny Minchey did everything he could to give his team a fighting chance. A couple of bad calls and dumb penalties undid that. When a team loses, the quarterback naturally absorbs the bulk of the blame.

Why former Tennessee Vols assistant Joe Osovet was fired from high school position

On Oct. 21, former Tennessee Volunteers tight end coach Joe Osovet was fired from his position as head coach of the Heritage High (TN) football team . The reason for that firing has now been released. Knox News reported Friday that Osovet was fired for not following concussion protocol during a road game against Carter (TN) on Sept. 25. An investigation into a report received by the Heritage administration found that Osovet "attempted to exert inappropriate influence upon assigned athletic trainers and upon a student-athlete to circumvent concussion protocol." A press release from Blount County Schools director Justin Ridge said the established concussion protocols are there for the health and wellbeing of the athletes. Because of that, following the protocols is not optional. Ridge also noted all decisions by athletic trainers and qualified medical personnel must be respected. "Established concussion protocols exist to protect the health and well-being of student-athletes, and adherence to these protocols is not optional," wrote Justin Ridge, Blount County Schools director, in a school release on Nov. 6. "The professional judgement of athletic trainers and qualified medical personnel must be respected, and no athletic competition or outcome should ever take precedence over a student's safety."

Kentucky racking up 361 empty yards against Tennessee is the ultimate offensive tease

Kentucky Football held the ball for over 35 minutes and racked up 361 total yards against Tennessee, but that box score dominance was nothing more than a frustrating illusion. You cannot control the clock, consistently move the chains, and still lose by 28 points without a catastrophic inability to finish drives.

After yet another post-bye disaster, Will Stein must stop another ugly Kentucky trend

Kentucky’s ugly 34-6 loss in Knoxville proved that the post-bye week curse is still alive and well. One of the biggest criticisms of the old regime under Mark Stoops was that Kentucky, after bye weeks, often let down more than not. That continued in Knoxville with an ugly loss that could seriously hurt Kentucky’s College Football Playoff chances.
