The House of Blue

I agree. He appears to be the 'real deal'. The O line needs to solidify a lot more though for Max to be able to keep these kinds of numbers up.
The "D" is what scares me. They are not very good at this point. Not sure the "O" can keep up with the miscues of the "D".

It doesnt hurt that the receivers are CATCHING the ball, and the O-line is blocking someone either.

What impresses me most about Max Smith is to see how comfortable he is in the pocket this season.

Usually does not happen this early in a quarterback's career. He is making good decisions early in his true sophomore year.

One thing I don't like is his lack of a spiral on his passes. Needs to work on his release.

Yes, he has been very accurate.

Very impressed with Smith. It kills me to know that he doesn't have a solid D to help him out. IMO, the only way we have a chance to win SEC games is to run the hell out of the ball and control clock. If we can get Clemons healthy, and or one of the freshman backs to come into their own, we can keep other teams ofeenses off the field. We have to develop a power running game for that to happen though.

Smith has the respect of his team. But the numbers mean nothing against Kent State. UK should always beat Kent State by 30 fella's. Now if he does this against Florida with SEC talent then he is on his way.

He has to get by Western first which will be a better test than KS.

You have to play the games. Arkansas should always beat Louisana Monroe by 30 and Vandy should always beat Northwestern and Penn St should always beat Ohio. We were 6.5 point favorites. Need to celebrate this win and not discount it just as everyone blew the abd performance in the first game up we need to celebrate the good. Its a young team.

Pretty clear now that Max has made all the difference. If Newton was still our qb we'd still be having major problems. Max could go down as one of the best to ever play QB at UK which is really exciting.
