Another Fourth Quarter Collapse

Paducah, KY native Corey Robinson carved up the Hilltopper defense going 26 of 39 for 304 yards and 2 touchdowns. Robinson completed a 47 yard bomb to wide out Chip Reeves with 12:39 left in the game that broke a 14-14 tie. The final score was Troy 28, WKU 14.

Trying to figure out why the David Elson coaching regime did not heavily recruit this kid? He only set the national record with 91 touchdown passes his senior season at Lone Oak and he lives in your state.

Bobby Rainey once again put in a stellar performance with 27 rushes for 157 yards, accounting for both Hilltopper touchdowns.

On the flip side, Kawaun Jakes continues to be consistently inconsistent going 10 of 23 for only 81 yards. Really, just 81 yards! The quarterback situation needs to be assessed during the off season. WKU cannot depend on Bobby Rainey to be 85% of the offense every game.

The defense had another hard time putting together a complete game effort, playing well for three quarters but collapsing in the fourth.

The season ends with a record of 2-10, better than 0-12!

Kentucky's Corey Robinson Shines On National Television

If you happened to catch the Sun Belt Conference showdown between the Troy Trojans and the Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders on ESPN2, you saw Troy's quarterback Corey Robinson go 26-of-37 for 259 yards and 3 touchdowns.

That is impressive for a red shirt freshman, it is even more impressive when he does it on the one year anniversary of his mother's death. Dawn Boyd passed on October 5th, 2009 due to multiple sclerosis.

Robinson was Kentucky's Mr. Football in 2007 after throwing for 5,872 yards and setting a national record with 91 touchdown passes with only 4 interceptions. Pretty amazing stats from a kid that showed poise in a hostile environment, on a national stage, and with a heavy heart.
