Wednesday's UK Football Links


  • Rich Brooks remains optimistic after Alabama loss. Brooks feels that playing smarter while maintaining a high level of intensity is the formula for success against South Carolina. Brooks was pleased that the Cats never gave up and continued to battle even when the game was out of reach.
  • Mike Hartline must play better against the Gamecocks. Hartline knows that he can't make the same mistakes against South Carolina that he made against Alabama. Hopefully, Hartline will be able to throw the ball down field. South Carolina like UK has a few starters on defense out for the game as well as the Cats.
  • UK is at a crucial point in the season coming into Saturday's game against South Carolina. If the Cats wants to make a statement in the SEC east, they must upset the No 25 Gamecocks at home. UK hasn't beaten South Carolina in nearly two decades and have never beaten Steve Spurrier.
  • Rich Brooks says South Carolina is trying to climb the SEC ladder just like UK. The game Saturday is a statement game for both teams, especially UK, who is win-less in the SEC. The Gamecocks have owned the Cats since Lou Holtz was the coach in Columbia. Some UK fans feel that the Cats would be 4-1 if they played the same schedule as the Gamecocks.
  • Chip Cosby writes that UK is blowing their margin for error. The Cats can't afford to lose the turnover margin in any game they play. UK simply hasn't shown the ability to score enough points to overcome losing this aspect of the game. UK has to play smarter on offense and could use a boost from the defense or special teams unit to put additional points on the scoreboard.
