Deone Walker said it best following Kentucky’s mind-boggling 38-21 home loss to Missouri: “We’ve got to learn how to play with passion, but not emotion.”
Discipline has been a disaster this season, the Wildcats ranked No. 117 in college football in penalties per game (7.71) and No. 121 in total penalty yards (479). 122 of those yards came on Saturday alone, a number that somehow surpassed the team’s passing production (120 yards). 14 total penalties overall, the Tigers picking up four first downs on those mistakes alone.
Kentucky played with energy, but couldn’t harness it.
