---

Episode Overview

This postgame edition centered on Kentucky football’s commanding 48-23 win over Eastern Michigan. With Matt Jones away, Ryan Lemon led an enthusiastic and fan-driven recap, with an emphasis on the debut of redshirt freshman quarterback Cutter Bowley as the team’s starter.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The "Cutter Bowley Era" Begins

• Game Framing: Lemon opens by dubbing it the “get right game” and the “Cutter Bowley coming out party,” framing Bowley as Kentucky’s quarterback of the future.
  • “It is basically... the Cutter Bowley coming out party. The Cutter Bowley era is underway and he is the quarterback.” (05:05)
• First Start Breakdown: Bowley’s poised performance against a lighter opponent, and how early success helped him relax into the role.
  • Immediate 14-0 lead eased nerves and set a positive tone.
  • Praise for his reads, decision-making, and accuracy in delivering the ball “where it needed to be.”
• Coaching View: Despite Bowley’s strong showing, Coach Stoops remained non-committal postgame, creating some lingering quarterback controversy.
  • “He did not want to name Cutter the starter… I think the writing's on the wall.” (07:44)

2. Offensive Rhythm & Tight End Utilization

• Seamless Offense: Lemon highlighted how the offense “just seemed to move better” under Bowley, with improved rhythm and reduced confusion.
• Tight End Touchdowns: Both Willie Rodriguez and Josh Cattus caught TD passes—a rare feat lauded by Lemon and callers.
  • “Cutter threw two touchdown passes to two tight ends. When in the hell has that ever happened at the University of Kentucky?... All those tight ends, now you wish you were here because Cutter's going to throw to you.” (06:30)
• Emergence of New Key Players: McGowan’s running and chemistry with other newcomers like Harley Gilmore spotlighted.

3. Quarterback “Controversy” and Future Outlook

• Calls to Name Starter: Multiple hosts and callers express that dragging out the battle with Calzada only creates uncertainty.
  • “Don’t make it a quarterback controversy… you got to hand him over the keys now.” (07:51)
  • “What’s the worst thing that could happen?... I just think he looked the part.” – Ryan Lemon (08:57)
• Calzada’s Role: Calzada, a 7th-year senior, is acknowledged as a mentor but is seen as surpassed by Bowley.
• SEC Gauntlet Looming: Upcoming games vs. South Carolina, Georgia, Texas, Auburn, Florida are cited as motivation to consolidate team leadership around Cutter.

4. Fan, Caller, and Environment Reactions

• Crowd Atmosphere: Multiple listeners and correspondents praised a lively crowd, driven partly by the excitement for Bowley.
  • "The environment tonight for Eastern Michigan was great… Everybody was loud on third downs… the crowd got up and did their thing." – Zane, caller (22:24)
• Student Section: Observations that students left after halftime due to the blowout and rain, but early energy was high.
• In-Stadium Experience: Discussions spanned 80s music, the Blue-White chant (“works, but do it at the right time”), and the replay board.

5. Calling Out Issues: Defense and Stoops' Game Management

• Defensive Concerns:
  • “I would like the defense to play a little bit better. I would have liked for us to not give up as many points…” – Dwayne from Crittenden (14:35)
  • Unexpected struggle to contain EMU, with prediction of a shutout failing.
• Stoops and End-of-Half Management: Criticism for giving up 10 points in the final two minutes of the first half and repeated organizational lapses.
  • “Once again, the end of the first half stunk… stink, stank, stunk.” (41:12)

6. Looking Ahead: South Carolina and SEC Play

• Bye Week Advantage: The team’s off week is expected to help, especially as South Carolina faces injury trouble at QB and a road test prior to hosting Kentucky.
• Coaching Records and Stakes: Stoops’ favorable history against SC (8-5 overall, 8 of last 11) is backing fan optimism, provided Bowley remains starter.

[Gus Allen]

All right. Good morning. It's morning ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, grandpa's and grandma's, aunts and uncles. This is the local tour dealers. KSR post game show. Ryan Lemon in for Matthew Harper Jones who is somewhere in South Africa. He has made it safely. For those didn't hear on the pregame show he did arrive. He texted Drew. So he's there, he's doing well and he'll be gone for a couple weeks. So we're going to fill in for him on KSR on the pregame show and tonight on the postgame show and tonight. You know you call this game whatever you want. The, the, the, the feel good game, the get right game, whatever you want to call it. But it is basically it's the Cutter Bowley coming out party. The Cutter Bowley era is underway and he is the quarterback. He is the quarterback of the future in my opinion, in my eye. Now you may have heard Coach Stoop say something different after the game on his post game comments with Tom Leach. We'll get to that in a little bit. But it couldn't have worked out any better for Cutter. You know, he gets his first start of the season against a lesser opponent at Kroger Field. You know last year his first game was on the road at Florida and then on the road at Texas and then he got to start against Louisville. This one you get to start at Kroger Field in front of your home field against a lesser opponent. Kind of ease into the job. That what I think is now his, it is his job and it couldn't have played out any better. First play of the game, tip pass. Rayner gets the interception. And so the Cutter comes out on an extremely short field. Two plays, McGowan punches it in. Nerves are wiped away. He's out there. You already got the touchdown. Second possession, McGowan scores another touchdown. So he's up 14 to nothing. So now Cutter can just relax and play football. And he did made some really nice passes. The offense just seemed to move better. They see the offense seem to be in more rhythm. There was no confusion on play calling. There was no confusion on execution. You know, I think they missed a couple, even missed a couple opportunities, put more points on the board, took a touchdown off the Board when they threw the touchdown pass to boy or the other tight end realized Cutter through two touchdown passes to two tight ends. When in the hell has that ever happened at the University of Kentucky? We've been clamoring for my entire lifetime. Why don't they throw more of the tight end? Why don't they get the tight end involved? Well, Cutters, two favorite targets are tight ends Willie Rodriguez and Josh Cattus. Each of them caught a touchdown pass. Each of them made great pack catches throughout the game. And the Boyer kid, he had a touch. A tight end caught a touchdown pass that got called off the board on a holding or a legal procedure or something. They brought it back. So all those tight ends that have played here in years past, all those great tight ends, the Jacob Tammy's, the CJ Conrad's last couple, you have what Ben Bates, Isaiah Cummings, Jordan Dingle, who's now playing at South Carolina, saw him on South Carolina tonight. All these tight ends, now you wish you were here because Cutter's going to throw to you. So Cutter's two main targets tonight, tight ends. Those are touchdown pass to both of them. But he kind of relaxed, settled in, got into a little rhythm. McAllen is proving to be an all type SEC running back. The dude. I do love what Zach Calada said about him. He runs that. McGowan runs like he's mad at the ground and he does, he kind of runs like that. So he's going to provide a lot of highlights for us. Dow Dell looks like he may have got banged up a little bit, so he didn't play as much tonight. But we got to see the Patterson kid. He came in and ran well there in the second half, got some touches, finally scored a touchdown as well. So. So like I said, you call it what you want, a feel good game, a get right game, but it's the Cutter bowling era. It's underway, it's begun and you got to hand him over the keys now. I feel like, you know, Tom asked Mark Stoops on the post game show about the quarterback situation and Mark did not want to name Cutter the starter. He did not want to rule out Zach Calzada coming back. But I think the writing's on the wall. I mean, you know, you talk about a perfect scenario. You come in for your first start against Eastern Michigan. Now you got two weeks practicing, taking every snap with the ones with the first string guys to get ready for South Carolina, a team that just got embarrassed tonight by Vanderbilt 31 to 7. If you didn't see that Score. Vanderbilt won at South Carolina 31 7. And now you got two weeks to practice, prepare, get all the reps with the ones as the starting quarterback. Don't make it a quarterback controversy. You know, I know they don't want to lose Calzada. They want to keep him engaged. They want to keep him practicing hard by thinking that the competition is still up for grabs. But that's. Is that really fair than to cut her? Why don't you name Cutter the starter so he can prepare knowing he's the guy, not looking over his shoulder, thinking, well, if I mess up, Calzada's gonna, you know, get the start. You got to win games, you got to play your best player. And if calzada is not 100% healthy, he can be your backup tonight. He was your third string guy. That tells you how bad that shoulder was. Bo Allen was your backup quarterback. Calzada was your emergency third string quarterback. So like I said, use these next two weeks to just shape Cutter for what's a gauntlet coming up at South Carolina, at Georgia. Then you've got what, Texas, Auburn, Florida, These five games in a row, they're going to be really tough on whoever the quarterback is. So that's, that's my thoughts and opinion. Gus. Do you have a similar opinion on whether they should just hand the keys over to Cutter?

[Ryan Lemon]

I think you need to go with it. He certainly seemed like he had some moves out there. He looked good. He looked the part. You know, I know it's lesser competition, but my gosh, I think you got to go with what's hot, right? And what somebody said one time, go with what's hot, go with what's hot. And what's the worst? I don't want to say that. I guess I'm committed now. What's the worst thing that could happen? But I guess you could get injured. But we certainly want to hope that. But I just think he looked the part.

[Gus Allen]

He did.

[Ryan Lemon]

He just felt he did. When you look, there he goes, you know, he knows what he's doing out there. I think he sees things pretty well. He made right decisions and everything. I, I think that he's, I think he got to go with that.

[Gus Allen]

I agree, Gus. He looked the part. The offense looked better. The offense looked like they had a little bit of an identity. Like I said, they were in rhythm. He's obviously got these receivers, Harley Gilmore, Josh Cattus, Willie Rodriguez, they're going to get majority of the looks. I was wanting to put an all points bulletin out for Jamari Macklin I didn't even know if he was still on the team. He's supposed to be our number one receiver. He has been non existent for the first three games, but he did catch a big pass for like 36 yards in the second half. That was his only target, his only catch. He's supposed to be our number one guy. Fred Ferrier did have a good catch, but the. The Hester kid, he didn't have a catch tonight. So I think Cutter's got his guys. He's came in the same recruiting class with Harley Gilmore and Willie Rodriguez and those three guys, they could be our future when it comes to the Kentucky passing game. All right, we'll take our break, come back, load up the phone lines. If you were at the game, I need to know about the crowd. I need to know about the rain and it chased the fans away, especially the students. If they got chased away, how long do they hang in? And we're starting raining, so give us a call. 859-280-2287. That's 859-280-CATS. Gus Allen man on the phones tonight. He'll get you on board. Give us a call. Kentucky a winner. They're 2 and 1. They got a winning record. Say, think what you want about this program, think what you want about this coach. But they're got a winning record right now and they're two and one. And there are a lot of teams in this country, a really good teams that have worse records than that. We'll be right back. This is local Total Leaders KSR postgame Show. Welcome back. This is the local Total Leaders KSR postgame Show. Ryan Lemon in for Matthew Harper Jones. Tonight is Kentucky a big winner. You know the. The draft king spread, Gus. And I think kickoff was 26, maybe 26 and a half. So that last touchdown by Eastern Michigan could have made some friends fans very unhappy on their drive home. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you got it earlier in the week, it was like 24, 24 and a half. But I think when we did our pregame show was like 26, 26 and a half. And of course they win by 25. So maybe some disgruntled fans for that reason. Gus, on the way home.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, those that didn't win the Powerball, probably a little upset.

[Gus Allen]

Got phone lines are packed. I don't want to get to them, but I got to read a couple text messages. I got one of them says some T shirt company in Lexington needs to come out with cutter loose, baby. Yeah, that's a big Nil opportunity right there for Cutter with that name. Somebody's got to come up with a Cutter loose T shirt or something. Diane, a friend of ours from the show said the rain didn't amount to much. It was quick. Students mostly left after halftime, but the students were lively before they left. Music was also louder. Go, Cat. So that's good. Students kind of hung at least till halftime and the music was louder. But this is going to be my, my. So far. This is my best text that I've got so far. Ryan, it's official. The big dog was holding that tight end room back. He's a little pup now. Catch my 90. Yeah, I mean, he was the big dog, was our tight ends coach. And now when he leaves, we're throwing to the tight ends more than we throw into the receivers. Used to be, you know, everybody clamoring, why don't we throw to the tight ends more? Well, now it's gonna be like, why don't we throw to the wide receivers more? The tight ends get all the looks, all the catches, so. All right, we got a full bank of calls. Let's get to him. Gus, who's our first one?

[Ryan Lemon]

Steve.

[Gus Allen]

Steve, Go ahead, Steve. Steve, are you there?

[Caller or Listener]

Brian, can you hear me?

[Gus Allen]

Yes. Go ahead, Steve.

[Caller or Listener]

Sorry, Ryan. I just wanted to say tonight I'm out in Colorado. It's not too late. I don't drink alcohol, so I'm not drunk. I watched that whole game, and Cutter Bowley put that ball exactly where it needed to be on pretty much every throw for the next two weeks. I know we're going to have fans saying it was only Eastern Michigan, but no matter who the opponent is, there's only certain windows to put that ball. And I didn't see receivers having to slow down and reach behind him to. To make catches. Cutter Bowley put the ball where it needed to be. He looked great, and I want to see him start even though Mark Stoops didn't commit to that tonight.

[Gus Allen]

Great point, Steve.

[Caller or Listener]

Have a good night.

[Gus Allen]

Great point. Appreciate the phone call. You're right. He made the right throws and put it in the right spot. There was even one time he threw a deep ball to Hartley Gilmore, and to me, it looked like Harley kind of gave up on it, like, kind of slowed down if he just kept running full speed. I think Cutter laid it right in there, which could have been a long touchdown pass. So I think Steve's right. I mean, I. If you heard my opening monologue, that regardless of what Coach Stu said on the post game show, this Is Cutter Bowie's team now? And you got to give him the keys to the Cadillac. Maybe go through some growing pains with the schedule they got this year, but at the same time, he could be your quarterback for the future and be a really, really good one as well. Who's next, Gus?

[Ryan Lemon]

How about Dwayne from Crittenden, Kentucky?

[Gus Allen]

Dwayne from Crittenden, Kentucky. How are you, Dwayne?

[Caller or Listener]

I'm doing great. Watching the Reds blow another game away.

[Gus Allen]

Well, that's nothing surprising there, Dwayne, the way the Red stink.

[Caller or Listener]

Ryan, I don't even want to hear from you about the Cardinals because they're worse than we are.

[Gus Allen]

Have the Cardinals about to sweep the series with the Reds coming up, though, I think next week, this coming week.

[Caller or Listener]

That's not going to happen. That's fake news.

[Gus Allen]

What do you think about the game tonight?

[Caller or Listener]

I mean, it says W. That's all we want. Wins are wins. I would like the defense to play a little bit better. I would have liked for us to not give up as many points as we did, but we survived, and we go on for another day.

[Gus Allen]

Yeah.

[Caller or Listener]

Cutter Bowley, like you said, is our quarterback for the future. He got a whole game under his belt today. He's gonna have a week off next week to play with the ones, and then two weeks, we'll go to South Carolina.

[Gus Allen]

Yep.

[Caller or Listener]

The South Carolina game's here, isn't it?

[Gus Allen]

No, it's at South Carolina.

[Caller or Listener]

They were there the last time because that's when you got. That's when you got. That's when you got assaulted.

[Gus Allen]

Yeah. Yeah, that does South Carolina. Well, maybe it is here. I mean, I thought it was at South Carolina, at Georgia, the next two games, so appreciate Dwayne. Thanks for phone call. Look it up here real quick, see what we got. We can find out. South Carolina. It's at South Carolina. I thought it was. Guess it's just a fluke in the schedule. Maybe they got to go back down there again for it. He did. Dwayne did bring up a point, though, about the defense. Not their best effort. They definitely let Eastern Michigan kind of do some things that I surprised. I even predicted a potential shutout tonight. I thought the defense was so good, SEC caliber defense, they might shut Eastern Michigan out. But that's a good point by Dwayne. The defense definitely needs to play a little better than it did tonight. And I kind of surprised they gave up as much as they did to Eastern Michigan. Who's next, Gus?

[Ryan Lemon]

How about Matthew and Seabree?

[Gus Allen]

Matthew and Seabree Go ahead, Matthew.

[Caller or Listener]

How are y' all doing?

[Gus Allen]

Good. How are you, Matthew?

[Caller or Listener]

Good. I think the defense tonight. The defense, yeah, they didn't look too good but I was watching the whole game and you know Cutter Broly. Yeah, he, he looked like he played good tonight.

[Gus Allen]

Appreciate the call. Matthew again. Yeah, the defense didn't play very well. Cutter did. Cutter showed a lot of poise for a guy that was really just making his second career start, first start of the season, throwing him out there. And like I said, I think the next two weeks you with the twos, let him go down. Regardless of what happens at South Carolina, you still, I think want to want him. You can't keep going back and forth. That's why I wish they would just name him the starter and let it, let the team know what's going on. Of course they're going to know this week when they get to all the number one reps. But I think it's would be a little vote of confidence for Cutter, maybe help him elevate his game. You just go ahead and name him. Naming the starter don't have this. Well, we got to check and see. We'll watch the tape and see that kind of stuff. Come on man, just name the starter. All right, Gus, who's next?

[Ryan Lemon]

How about Carson from Belfry?

[Gus Allen]

Carson from Belfry. Go ahead, Carson.

[Caller or Listener]

Hey, Ryan. So I'm on my way back from the game now and to be honest, it was a little refreshing to finally see some offense. I thought it thought Cutter looked pretty comfortable. To be honest, he looks more comfortable than our seventh year starter to, you know, start out season. But you could tell the crowd really got behind Cutter instantly. I think he, he was able to settle in pretty easily because the defense set him up. But to be honest, overall I'm pretty, pretty optimistic going into the South Carolina game. I think, I think the bye week will serve him pretty well. But I do think, I think we might have the quarterback for the future.

[Gus Allen]

Yeah, listen, be careful driving back to Belfry. Appreciate you calling in. I think those that these next two weeks are crucial for him. Like this past week he had all the reps within ones. Now he's got two whole weeks get ready for South Carolina. And I had the South Carolina game on and split screen with Kentucky game on the night, South Carolina looked awful. Vanderbilt ran all over them. Vanderbilt did whatever they wanted to do. Now of course South Carolina's quarterback got hurt. If you haven't heard, Lenora Sellers took a hit to the head. They called targeting on the Vanderbilt guy and Sellers had to leave the game and did not come back. And that just kind of threw South Carolina into a tailspin. They could not recover offensively. They looked horrible. So if Sellers is still out next week on two weeks, absolutely. That gives Kentucky a better advantage going down there because it's a tough place to play. And like the color said earlier, last time I went down, I got punched in the face and fractured my draw. So jaw. So I'm not going to. Let's get another call. Gus, who we got?

[Ryan Lemon]

How about D.J. out in Georgetown?

[Gus Allen]

We'll take D.J. in Georgetown, then we'll take a break. Go ahead, D.J.

[Caller or Listener]

What'S up, guys? Y' all doing all right?

[Gus Allen]

Doing well. How are you, DJ Doing well?

[Caller or Listener]

Can't complain. I really enjoyed watching the game today. A lot of the callers kind of stole my thunder there, but I really thought Cutter looked really comfortable in. In the pocket. I mean, he wasn't unlike Zach. You know, Zach would really back up into that pocket. You know, kind of like Matt said a few weeks, about a week ago, you know, he kind of looked like Michael Vick or Lamar Jackson, you know, just running back in the pocket, you know, running back backwards in the backfield. Cutter looked really comfortable, looked very confident in his stance in the pocket. And I just, you know, that's. I think that's where you. I think that's your deciding factor, because, you know, he's. He's. His. His potential. I mean, is your. Is your. Is there things that you want to. Is what you want to see?

[Gus Allen]

You're right. He's got a higher ceiling, I think, than Calzada at this point. So why not go with the guy who's got a higher ceiling that can get you there for the next couple years? Your quarterback of the future. Why not, right?

[Caller or Listener]

I agree with you. 100.

[Gus Allen]

All right. D.J. appreciate. Appreciate. Phone call, man. Yeah, I want to read this text. We go to a break, then, Gus, somebody texted in, and this is exactly what yoga girl said tonight after the game. Also, this is Cutter's team. Listen to him during post game. Natural leader. He exudes confidence. I think that goes a long way when you're a quarterback, college football team. You got to have confidence. You got to be a leader. And I think the Cutter kid, he's got it going on. So let's give him the keys. All right, we'll take our break, come back, load up the phone lines again. 859-280-2287. That's 859280, cats. This is the local Twitter leaders KSR postgame show. All right, welcome back. The local toilet leaders KSR postgame show Ryan Lemon in for Mr. Matthew Harper Jones. Tonight, Kentucky A winner 48 to 23 over Eastern Michigan to improve to 2 and 1 on the season. Caller who's talking about the South Carolina game in two weeks Being at South Carolina? Yeah, South Carolina was here last year, second game of the season and they embarrassed us. I had to look up. The score was 31 to 6. They totally embarrassed us that game. It was awful. So it was two years ago when the game was in Columbia when they got punched in the face down there and I don't want to go back. Yeah, well, I haven't, you know, thank goodness I didn't have to have any kind of wires put in my jaw or anything because that would have been awful. But yeah, that was two years ago. So that's why the game is back down at south Carolina here in two weeks. 859-280-2287. We got another full bank of calls so let's get right to him. Gus, who we got?

[Ryan Lemon]

Zane and Lexington.

[Gus Allen]

Zane and lexington. Go ahead, Zane.

[Caller or Listener]

Hey, Ron. How are you tonight?

[Gus Allen]

Good. How are you, Zane?

[Caller or Listener]

Good. Can't complain, man.

[Gus Allen]

We won.

[Caller or Listener]

So I want to talk about the environment. The environment tonight for eastern Michigan was great. Like we. We talk about environment all the time. The environment tonight was great and like you can't complain. They. Everybody was loud on third downs. Like when we needed them on defense, the crowd got up and they did their thing. I, I just want, I want you to expand on that. I'll hang up and listen to you.

[Gus Allen]

Well, I appreciate you saying that cuz it's hard to tell watching it through TV exactly how it was and we kind of thought that going in that there's. It was just a little more of an excitement and more of a buzz knowing that cutter was going to start. It was a night game and then it should be, you know, a big feel good get right type of win. So it was it. It is good to hear from Zane that the crowd was kind of into it. Diane texted that the crowd and the students were into it. Now they may have left at halftime but it was a blowout game. By then it was raining a little bit so I can't blame him. But. But yeah. This is also from the. On the a vision glass text machine. The music was only coming from the speakers on one side of the stadium. One end zone music was almost exclusively from the 1980s. Still too much dead air between scores and kickoffs. Well, Gus, I like music from the 1980s. I mean, that's why. That's what. I prefer John Cougar Mellencamp and what, Prince and Bruce Springsteen and Michael Jackson and that. You know, all the. All the good music, Gus, came from the 80s.

[Ryan Lemon]

It did. Doggone it.

[Gus Allen]

That's right. Who's next? We take another phone call.

[Ryan Lemon]

Jake from Hickory. Kentucky.

[Gus Allen]

Jake from Hickory. Go ahead, Jake.

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah, I love the 80s, Ryan. That's an unforgettable decade.

[Gus Allen]

That's amen.

[Caller or Listener]

I was born in the 80s.

[Gus Allen]

Amen, me. Oh, you were born in the 80s? Well, I was in high school in college, sir. What do you got for us tonight?

[Caller or Listener]

Hey, I'm feeling pretty good because. Because South Carolina's got to play next week and we don't have to play next week, and that's that. I think that'll be good for us, Brian.

[Gus Allen]

Well, couldn't hurt.

[Caller or Listener]

They got to play next week.

[Gus Allen]

They, you know, we talked about their quarterback being out, so I maybe give him another week to get ready for. But they do. They play at Missouri next week. A Missouri team that looks good and is ranked in the top 25 right now.

[Caller or Listener]

They have a chance to. They have a chance to lose that game, too, don't they?

[Gus Allen]

Oh, yeah.

[Caller or Listener]

What do you think?

[Gus Allen]

Yeah, especially if the Sellers kids, not a quarterback. They could lose easily at Missouri, I would think, because they looked really bad tonight against Vanderbilt after he left Owen.

[Caller or Listener]

Threes. Oh, and three is a bad, bad way to come with us coming in there and then with. And then. Then we hang another loss on them. That'd be really good.

[Gus Allen]

That would be good, Jake. We appreciate it. Always good to hear from when you call in on the show and then KSR during the week. So keep calling 859-280-2287. That's a phone number if you want to call and get on board. So let's just keep it rolling. Gus, who we got?

[Ryan Lemon]

AB from Harlan.

[Gus Allen]

AB from Harlan. They're calling from all over Kentucky tonight. Go ahead, AB.

[Caller or Listener]

Hey, what's going on, Ryan? How you doing, man?

[Gus Allen]

What's up? What's going on?

[Caller or Listener]

And not a whole lot. Hey, I just wanted to comment there on the Cutter Calzada situation there. I did see there on X, formerly known as TW since they started allowing tablets and headsets in 2024 on the sidelines. I did notice Calzada was kind of reading the tape there with Cutter and you know, calzada through for over 6, 000 yards down at Incarnate Ward, are they? Although they are FCSC, you know, he still knows ball.

[Gus Allen]

Sure.

[Caller or Listener]

I feel like he's kind of taking Cutter under his wing and kind of, you know, looking at the tape with them, you know, letting him know. And I feel like that'll elevate Cutter's game, you know, in the near future. So that's all I want to see. I feel like, you know, Cal still nose ball, even though he did play a couple years at fcs, and I feel like that will elevate Cutter in the future.

[Gus Allen]

Thank you, AB. Appreciate it. I'm glad you brought that up because the cameras did catch Cutter and Calzada talking at the end of the game. And you could tell Calzada was. Was congratulating him and kind of dabbed him up a little bit, and it kind of shared a smile, so. And even Chase McDaniels, the. The commentary tonight said Chase Daniels said, you know what? Great sportsmanship right there. You know, Calzada being a good sport, good teammate is what he said. So he can. Calzada can still be very valuable to this team as a mentor, as a coach. And Cutter's going to get hit. And we've seen quarterbacks get hurt in this league every single game. We saw Sellers go down the night for South Carolina. It happens. Calzada, it's not out of the question, could get another shot, and he's got to be ready for it. And maybe I think that's why Stoops wants to make it seem like it's still a competition. So Calzada still stays sharp and engaged with what's going on on the practice field because they know they're probably going to need him again at some point during the season. Who's next? Gus?

[Ryan Lemon]

How about Edward from Lexington?

[Gus Allen]

Edward from Lexington. Go ahead, Edward.

[Caller or Listener]

Hey, Ron. How are you? Knight?

[Gus Allen]

Good. Are you? Edward.

[Caller or Listener]

Pretty good. I met you once back when they had arena football. And you cover those games. And there was a game in Myrtle Beach.

[Gus Allen]

Yes.

[Caller or Listener]

And it was during spring break, and I took my son down there and we. We saw that there was a game there, so we. We went to him. We talked to you. We talked to you after we left.

[Gus Allen]

Edward, let me tell you something. Indoor football in Lexington. The Horsemen. The Lexington Horsemen was awesome. They were so much fun. It was fun to go to the games. I hate it that they don't do it anymore because that was. That was a fun time. That era was a fun time when the Horsemen were playing down at Rupp Arena. So nice to meet you. I Remember that game down at Myrtle beach as well. Tony Franklin was the coach that year and he made the team do the walk through, the pre game, walk through on the beach. We went to the beach. It's the only time I've ever seen it in my life at a football team. Did a pre game, walk through on the beach.

[Caller or Listener]

So.

[Gus Allen]

So go ahead. Edward, what do you got for us tonight?

[Caller or Listener]

Okay, I've been going to. My dad took me to my first football game in stall Field. I'm 74 years old when I was 5, so next year will be my 70th season. Back when they hired Frank Cursey and I actually taught school and I taught friends, kids. And I also coached basketball at Southern Middle and got to coach Morris's daughters. I mean, it's. And Joby Hall's son. It's just. It's kind of crazy, but this is the. The first three home games. I live off Tate's Creek Road, and even though I'm less than two miles from the stadium, it usually takes us 45 minutes to get in there. We've gotten in there in 10 minutes.

[Gus Allen]

Yeah.

[Caller or Listener]

These first three games, even though Ole Miss came, I thought, well, it'll be more crowded. We'll leave a little earlier. It was. And there were a lot as I walked around. I'm in the green lot close to bct. Oh, bctc. As I walked around, there were frames and then people didn't put up their tents. And there's guys that I know tailgated since the stadium was built in 73 that weren't even there. And I'm thinking, what's going on?

[Gus Allen]

Yeah, we appreciate it, man. Thanks for the phone call. Appreciate the phone call. That is disappointing to hear because we hear that the crowd was better into the game, but yet, you know, I don't doubt Edwards, what he's saying at all that there was still traffic, wasn't as bad. People had their spot, didn't tailgate. But I'm telling you what, they go down and beat South Carolina in two weeks, which if Sellers doesn't play, I think it's got a. The. The chances just got a little graded with Cutter playing well and Sellers out. They go down to South Carolina and beat South Carolina 3 and 1. That'll get. That'll just provide a little spark. I don't care what happens at Georgia. The Texas game will be crazy packed because Texas is going to bring a lot of people and Keeneland will be going on. They, the crowd, I'm. I'm hopeful will rally, but they got to beat South Carolina. They beat South Carolina, I think things could change a little bit. Let's get another call for go to a break. Gus, who we got?

[Ryan Lemon]

Charlie.

[Gus Allen]

Charlie. Go ahead, Charlie.

[Ryan Lemon]

I'm sorry, Ford. Go to Ford. Go to Ford.

[Gus Allen]

First, Ford. Ford's up first. Go ahead, Ford.

[Caller or Listener]

Hey, good morning, Ryan. Thanks for staying up with us. I a couple nitpicky things. Eastern Michigan didn't get a very good pass rush on Cutter tonight. He held the ball too long a couple times. Yeah, he zeroed in on some guys, but those are fixable things. I don't understand how in the world Dupes can look at this quarterback situation and not say Cutter's our guy. I feel bad for Calzada because it's his last ride. I mean, he's a seventh year senior and he's far his way back to the SEC and now he's going to get benched. But I mean, goodness gracious, all you had to do was not think. Frankly, this is Cutter's team now and he. We got a ride with Cutter. I mean, the ceiling is just infinitely higher and you're not getting any more football out of a seventh year senior and Cutter's a redshirt freshman and frankly, the. I think gutter's better than Calzada to begin with. So.

[Gus Allen]

Ford, I agreed with everything you just said. Thank you for the phone call. Man, you're preaching to the choir. I think he's proven that if we've seen what we're going to get from Calzada, why not then just ride with Cutter to build for the future. Your guy, your quarterback for the future. And I think you saw tonight and even though it was just eastern Michigan, the offense looked better, the decision making was better, the execution was better. They just seem to be, you know, I use the word rhythm a lot. They just seem to be more in rhythm, especially with the tight ends, Rodriguez, Cattus and Harley Gilmore. They just seem to have got it going on. So I agree with what Ford said. You just got to just name him the quarterback and just ride with him and let us dream, let us dream that he can lead us back to some quality wins and beat some big teams down the road. Because we got a heck of a schedule coming up the rest of the season. All right, we'll take our final break, come back, take our final segment, load up the phone lines again. 859-280-2287. This is the local Toyota leaders KSR postgame show. All right, welcome back. Final segment here on the local total dealers KSR postgame shows the Cats win at 4823 over Eastern Michigan on the text machine, the Aviation Glass text machine. Somebody sent this in and I looked, tried to look it up. What is the most points ever scored by UK during the Stoops era? It looks like when they beat New Mexico State 62 to 42 in 2016, nine years ago. I don't remember that game at all. But, my goodness, that's a basketball score, Gus. 62 to 42. Kentucky went over New Mexico State, which I bring it up because New Mexico State has now given us two players, right?

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, yeah, that's right.

[Gus Allen]

McAllen is from New Mexico State and Big Pete, our big tackle, I think they both came from New Mexico State.

[Ryan Lemon]

So kind of shocked they scored 42 points, though, when I heard that. 62 to 14. 42.

[Gus Allen]

62 to 42. That's a dag on basketball, that one.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, that is a basketball score.

[Gus Allen]

One more from the Aviation Glass text machine says, doesn't Mark Stoops have a good record against South Carolina? Well, from what I gather, it looks like he's eight and five overall against South Carolina, but he's won eight of the last 11. So he got, you know, they went on that roll where they won, like, six or seven games in a row. So he does do very well against South Carolina. I don't think there's a lot of love lost between him and Shane Beamer. And if Lenore Sellers is out, the South Carolina quarterback, that changes my thoughts about that game going down to South Carolina. In. In. Now that you got two weeks to get ready for him. All right, final set of calls. We'll try to roll through these and get Gus out of there so he can go home. Who? We got Gus.

[Ryan Lemon]

Charlie.

[Gus Allen]

Charlie. Go ahead, Charlie.

[Caller or Listener]

So I'm on my way home from the game right now. We had a good time, but one thing that I saw was the replay officials. They didn't do their job right. I don't think they played the replays when they didn't need to. And when we needed to see them, they didn't play the replays.

[Gus Allen]

Charlie. And that's funny.

[Caller or Listener]

Go ahead and May and maybe next time, Dukes can cover a spread.

[Gus Allen]

Amen, Charlie. Well, I bet you're one of those people that bet on DraftKings when it was 26 points or 26 and a half points, and they gave up that last touchdown.

[Caller or Listener]

All right, and there's one more thing. All right, Check out Blitz the Bookie Podcast. It's my podcast. We post every Thursday.

[Gus Allen]

What's it called now?

[Caller or Listener]

Blitz the Bookie.

[Gus Allen]

Blitz the Bookie. Charlie's podcast. All right, I'm gonna look that up and I'm gonna give it a listen. All right, Charlie?

[Caller or Listener]

Okay.

[Gus Allen]

All right. We appreciate you calling. You had a great call tonight. Be careful going home. Yeah, I said that in the first segment because I knew there'd be some people driving home tonight. Gus not happy about that last late touchdown, the Eastern Michigan guy, because that did not mean Kentucky was going to cover the spread.

[Ryan Lemon]

Yeah, yeah, I know some boy. They start young now, don't they, on the old wagering side of things?

[Gus Allen]

How about. How about that? He's got a Charlie who sounded like he was, what, maybe 12 years old? Yeah. Got a podcast on gambling.

[Ryan Lemon]

Blitz the bookie laying down the Benjamins there and everything.

[Gus Allen]

Charlie. Gracious. And he was not happy about the replay. Officials sometimes he said they played the replays when they weren't supposed to, and they didn't play the replays when they were supposed to. Charlie, That's. That's the decision. Back in the truck. And that's. Kentucky has done that as long as I've been around. They don't want to show anything controversial or anything judgmental like that on the jumbotron when it comes to replays. They just won't do it. It's just their policy. They just won't do it. All right, who's next? Gus?

[Ryan Lemon]

How about Chuck in London?

[Gus Allen]

Chuck in London. Go ahead, Chuck.

[Caller or Listener]

Hey, Ryan, I'm gonna talk about the atmosphere.

[Gus Allen]

Awesome. Okay, go ahead.

[Caller or Listener]

Frankly, from. From week one, it has improved like crazy. You know, they're back to playing GR Party. It's awesome. But I gotta say, the fans, you know, all the fans. The student section is almost completely empty after halftime. And I think that's just a huge part of the environment and the atmosphere, and it's a huge part of Kentucky. And, you know, we need to quit leaving before halftime. After halftime. We gotta stay in. Like in Ole Miss. They were leaving after halftime and we were still in the game. We were only down seven and.

[Gus Allen]

Well, I appreciate, Chuck. Yeah, it's good to hear. We've had a couple people, and you included, saying that the atmosphere was much better tonight. That makes me feel a lot better because the. The big narrative after the first game against Toledo was the crowd was not good, the environment was not good, the music was not good. They didn't play Grove street well. Now, you know, you're like the third or fourth person who said the atmosphere was good. The music was good. They did Play Grove Street. So it's good to hear all that. As far as the students leading at halftime, I mean, part of me is glad they stayed till halftime because it was kind of starting to be a blowout. It was starting to rain. It did rain a lot during the first half, and I figured they probably all go out there and go to their parties. But if it was a bigger game, Kentucky stays in it, I believe the students would stick around. I really do. I think I've seen it before where, if they're, if they're engaged because the game is close or is a good opponent, like the Georgia game last year when they had a chance to beat Georgia, they stayed. I'm trying to think. I think they stayed most of the game. That game. I was there. Seems like they did. So let's, let's, let's, let's hold out for some of these SEC games coming up. And if Kentucky stays in it, maybe the crowd will all stay there as well. Who's next? Gus?

[Ryan Lemon]

Josh from Lexington.

[Gus Allen]

Josh. Go ahead, Josh.

[Caller or Listener]

Hey, Ryan. First of all, I want to say the atmosphere has gotten a lot better.

[Gus Allen]

Well, see, you're another. You're like the fourth guy that has said that tonight, so that makes me feel pretty good about it.

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah, I, I, the grocery thing is what it is. It's, it's fun. It's, it is what it is. But we got to do something with the Blue White. The Blue White chant needs to be during timeouts, TV timeouts, while there's nothing going on. Get everybody into the game, you know, cheering before we get to start playing. Then everybody get loud. You know, it's just, it's kind of silly right? At this point now. But I'm all for it. I love the chant. It's just, it's silly when we do it.

[Gus Allen]

Yeah, Josh, we appreciate it. Okay, let's talk about this Blue White chant a little bit, because one of my, one of my really, really good friends is the guy that came up with this idea to do it at the football game. Blue, white. They put the graphic up. Blue, white. And Josh is right, it works. When they said it, when they were doing it during the first half tonight, it came through the TV broadcast loud and clear. You could tell the crowd was into it. They were doing blue, white, blue, white. I totally agree. It's a great thing. They should continue to do it. The debate is, should they do it during third down? I think that's the debate. Because you're saying half the crowd shouldn't scream during a big third Down. Stop. When did. When Kentucky's on defense during third down. So I don't know, but I'm all for it. I think my buddy's got a great idea and it works at Kroger Field. Whether it works during third down or not, I guess that's the debate people can have. All right, guess Gus, who's next?

[Ryan Lemon]

Two more. Seth.

[Gus Allen]

Seth. Go ahead, Seth.

[Caller or Listener]

This is his daughter, Nevaeh. Me and my dad are on our way home from my first game that we actually won. And this is my first time.

[Gus Allen]

Yeah, absolutely. If you. Your first game that you went to that they actually won, that definitely deserves it.

[Caller or Listener]

Yeah. Well, the question I had is what do you think about Stoop's timeout on the. On defense before that extra point was a 40 minute second before half.

[Gus Allen]

Yeah. Thanks, Nevaeh. We appreciate the call that we've really not. We. I'm trying to keep it positive. We. So we've not talked about what happened again at the end of the first half. Again, I don't know why. And this will be something I'm sure we'll discuss on Monday on ksr. The middle eight for this Stoops coached era of UK football has to be so difficult. And especially the last couple minutes of the first half, this is not something new. And for it to happen, you know, it happened against Ole Miss, it was so bad, most people were ready to fire the coach, which was a little ridiculous, but they were ready to fire the coach because of what happened at the end of the first half against the Ole Miss game tonight. They're up 28 to 6 and they gave up 10 points in the last two minutes, called that unnecessary timeout and just seemed to once again be disorganized. You know, you heard Stoops all the time. We got to clean that up. It wasn't clean. Again, I just don't understand why they're having so much problem there at the end of the first half. And then they come out with the ball to start the second half and they have to. They punt it away. I think they finally got a touchdown, maybe on the second possession, but I don't know. I didn't know if anybody's gonna bring that up and we're gonna save it till Monday. But once again, the end of the first half stunk. It's. It's like by Bobby Washington. He's a head coach at Bryant Station Basketball. One time I asked him about how the game went tonight, he said, stink, stank, stunk. That's what the first half was. Against tonight. All right, our final caller tonight. If it's a good one, Gus, who is it?

[Ryan Lemon]

Tyler.

[Gus Allen]

Tyler. Go ahead, Tyler. Make it a good one.

[Caller or Listener]

I gotta tell you, it's an absolute privilege to be the last caller on the KSR postgame show tonight, man. I. Being the last caller, I got a lot of things I want to talk about, but I feel like I got to end with a positive note.

[Gus Allen]

Kill it. You gotta kill it. You're the last guy. You gotta kill it.

[Caller or Listener]

I'm gonna do my best. After watching Calzada at quarterback the last couple games, I feel like Cutter Bowley, he's our guy. I really do. I feel like he's our. I don't want to say he's our only shot at having a good season, but I feel like he is a key piece to having a good season. And I. I think if he doesn't start against South Carolina, we've got to really take a hard look in the mirror. But I think it's Cutter Bowley's job right now, and I think after tonight, we. We all know that. And I want him to. It's as simple as that. I want him to be the guy. And if he's not, I'm going to be mad. But if he is, that's great. And I think we ride with him anyway. Thanks, Ryan.

[Gus Allen]

Appreciate it. Tyler, kind of. Tyler, kind of say what I said to start the show this. It's the Cutter Bowie era. The Cutter Bowley era began tonight. He is your quarterback. He is the guy that you want to build around for the next couple years, including this season. We don't need no back and forth. Start one guy pulling, play another guy. Make Cutter the guy. No disrespect to Calzada, but if he's hurt, and apparently he's hurt, that the shoulder is not going to heal overnight. It could be a lingering thing all season. Name Cutter your quarterback. Let us get excited about Cutter being our quarterback, and let's build with Cutter as our quarterback. That's what needs to be done, and hopefully they'll do that at some point over the next couple weeks. All right, that'll do it for the local total leaders. KSR postgame show. Kentucky on winner tonight, 48 to 23. Sorry for all you guys on draftkings that had Kentucky at 26 or 26 and a half. Don't blame. Don't blame me. And by the way, the KSR parlay, yeah, you can kind of blame me again on that. I think I had Vanderbilt beating South Carolina, but Shannon. The dude had SMU beating Virginia Tech and that was a blowout and that was the first loss. So that that's what killed the KSR parlay, not me picking South Carolina or Vanderbilt. All right everybody have a good night. We'll see you on KSR Monday morning. For Gus for Ryan, we'll see ya.
