Wow, what a game right? I just love when a kicker misses four field goals, when the running game stalls and wide receivers don’t know the routes. So when Papa Brooks says it’s time to open some positions back up to competition, I rejoice. Let’s face it, Lones Seiber has been a problem for a [...]

Here are some things that will make my day if they happen in this week’s game. 1. A passing touchdown from Mike Hartline. Kentucky needs a good game out of Mike to keep their scheme intact. The staff wants to use both quarterbacks, which is fine by me. A good game with at least one [...]

That’s more like it. The offense wasn’t perfect, but it didn’t have to be. All I wanted to see was significant offensive improvement from the Louisville game, and that’s exactly what happened. I’m very happy with the way the offense played, but there’s just one thing I have to get off of my chest. If [...]

Raise your hand if you saw UK score two defensive touchdowns, have the potential for six interceptions (and getting three) and flat out playing the way the defense did on Sunday, before the game. Put your hand down. You never saw that one coming as well as it did. So what is next? Obviously, Louisville [...]

I see the game going like this. Defense will set the tone for the day, and I expect a low scoring affair. I think that both defenses will come out with guns blazing, but eventually, Louisville’s lack of depth in the trenches will come back to bite them. It has to, because it will be [...]

Kentucky will not be as good on offense as they were in 2007. This is a given. Andre Woodson, Rafael Little, Keenan Burton, Steve Johnson and Jacob Tamme are all trying to cut their teeth in the NFL. Mike Hartline emerged as the starting quarterback after Curtis Pulley was dismissed from the team, though I [...]

Posted: 12th April 2008 by Kenny Colston in Rich Brooks, Ricky Lumpkin, Tony Dixon, UK football

Football Notes before you fill your Friday night with debauchery or laziness. Tony Dixon has a confirmed MCL sprain and will miss the rest of spring practice. He is expected, however, to be ready for summer practice. Defensive lineman Ricky Lumpkin is undergoing arthoscopic knee surgery. How long this sidelines Lumpkin isn’t known at this [...]

The news out of spring practice today didn’t change much besides the Tony Dixon injury, which is being evaluated to see what the extent of the sprain is. That being said, let’s take the time to breakdown another position this spring–defensive backs. The stars of the secondary are junior corner Trevard Lindley and senior free [...]

Just a few quick hits on the past 24 hours: Sophomore left fielder Keenan Wiley hits a walk-off homerun in the bottom of the 12th inning to propel the No. 9 UK baseball team past rival Louisville at Cliff Hagan Stadium. It was Wiley’s first career homerun. There’s no better way to get the first [...]
