Monday Afternoon UK Football Links and Notes

Mike Hartline will have surgery on his knee Tuesday and will be shut down for the final two games. There is an outside chance that Hartline could return for the bowl game. It should be an interesting off season with Hartline and Newton battling for the starting job in 2010.

Chris Matthews will practice this week, but be held out of contact. Randall Cobb will not practice on Tuesday, but should return on Wednesday. Both players are a little banged up after Saturday's game.

Corey Peters has been named SEC Defensive Lineman of the Week for his performance against Vanderbilt. Peters registered 5 tackles and 1.5 for loss in UK's win of Vanderbilt. Peters has to be one of the most underrated players in the SEC.

ESPN says Randall Cobb is playing his way into "star status". I agree with the article that Cobb has become the "heart and soul" of the football team. UK fans knew Cobb would be a star after his performance as a true freshman.

ESPN hands out their SEC power rankings and the Cats have moved up to No 10. Both Mississippi State and Vanderbilt follow the Cats. UK has a chance to jump higher on the list if they are able to defeat Georgia this weekend.

Mr. SEC gives his weekly 2010 football commitment comparison. UK did not receive any commitments last week, but are still in position to land several top recruits. UK has 16 commitments thus far and are expected to sign around 22 players.

Adrian Hubbard (2010 Defensive End) has narrowed his list of schools down to three and it appears that UK did not make the cut. Hubbard visited South Carolina this past weekend and came away impressed. Hubbard has already visited Alabama and will take a visit to Florida State as well.

UK and Tennessee will play at 7pm on November 28th based on the initial reports that are coming out.
