During Coach Mark Stoops’ introductory news conference on Dec. 2, 2012, he outlined his themes for Kentucky Football: · · · ·

Attack each and every day Putting together a quality staff Embrace the process It’s all about recruiting, developing the players you have, developing them as total people · Doing things right · Building your program · Lay the foundation

Although only the beginning, Stoops’ progress in his first year has been both immediate and impressive as he strives to build the Wildcats into a national power.

Mark Stoops’ first move as head coach was to assemble a staff of hungry, relentless coaches, averaging under 38 years of age, who combine intensity and a history of success. Former Wildcat Neal Brown (left) was one of the nation’s most accomplished offensive coordinators at Texas Tech. Defensive coordinator D.J. Eliot (at top) helped turn Florida State from 108th in the nation in total defense to second in the nation in just three years.

2013 OUTLOOK Excitement over the new direction of the UK football program abounds as Kentucky enters its first season under head coach Mark Stoops. In just a few short months, the off-the-field progress of Kentucky football has been breathtaking – remarkable results in recruiting, a recordbreaking spring game, a spike in season-ticket sales, to name a few – and now new head coach Mark Stoops looks to translate that into on-the-field improvements as well. Kentucky returns to practice in early August in preparation for the opener Aug. 31 in Nashville against Western Kentucky. Phase one of the project was completed satsifactorily during spring drills. “We had two goals in the spring,” Stoops explained. “We wanted our players to have an understanding of our base offense and defense and we wanted them to understand the tempo and effort we demand of them in practice. “We accomplished both of those goals. However, we have a lot of work to do before we are ready to play a game.” Stoops has 56 lettermen on hand, including 12 primary returning starters from last season. However, a byproduct of the youth of the team and the injuries sustained a year ago is that 31 returnees have started at least one game during their careers. Stoops’ plan in August is to build on the basic schemes, identify which newcomers have a chance to contribute immediately and ready the starters and key reserves to take on a schedule which has been ranked as the toughest in the nation.

OFFENSE One interesting note of the spring was to note the evolution of the “Air Raid” offense that first appeared at UK in 1997. Under offensive coordinator Neal Brown, a Wildcat player in the late 1990s, the current system is

fairly similar to the high-scoring attack the fans saw during that time. The basic premise has remained the same: a spread attack that completes a high percentage of passes, gets the ball to playmakers with space to operate, moves the chains and generates points. Two differences are a more significant commitment to the running game and a hectic pace designed to keep the opposing defense off-balance. “The base plays haven’t changed,” Brown said. “What we have done is make a concerted effort to run the football. We are playing at a faster pace and we dress up those plays with motions and different formations. Those are the differences that fans are going to notice.” Spring practice featured a methodical process at quarterback, a competition that resumes in August until a starter can be selected. The contenders include three returning sophomores along with a freshman who was here for spring practice. Maxwell Smith began the 2012 season as the starter before being injured and eligible for a medical hardship. In three full games and one series of a fourth game, Smith completed 103 of 150 passes (68.7 percent) for 975 yards and eight touchdowns. As true freshmen, Jalen Whitlow and Patrick Towles saw most of the playing time in Smith’s absence. Whitlow started the final seven games, completing 54 percent for 801 yards and three touchdowns. He also can make plays with his legs, running for 206 net yards and three TDs. Towles completed 19 of 40 passes for 233 yards and one score. Reese Phillips, a mid-year enrollee who participated in the spring, was a two-time all-state performer in high school and is noted for his accuracy. All four players threw a touchdown pass in the Blue/White Spring Game, with Whitlow throwing and running for the most yards in the scrimmage. Understandably, the Wildcat wide receivers are eager to get the season going. The top returnees include junior Demarco Robinson (28 catches for 297 yards last season) and sophomores Daryl Collins (17 for 171) and A.J. Legree (12 for 113). Another sophomore, Rashad Cunningham, had a breakout performance in the spring game. A lot of receivers are needed in this offense, so juniorcollege signee Javess Blue and the freshman signees will get every chance to contribute. Tight ends in this offense can play in a traditional role and also serve as wideouts. There are four seniors, Anthony Kendrick, Jordan Aumiller, Tyler Robinson and Patrick Ligon, along with junior Ronnie Shields. Steven Borden, who played tight end in junior college, has good speed and could also see action as a wide receiver. Running backs see plenty of action both as runners and pass catchers. Senior Raymond Sanders led the team in rushing last season with 669 yards, a 5.4-yard average per carry, and five touchdowns. He caught 18 passes. Senior Jonathan George ran for 504 yards, averaging 4.7 yards, and tallied four TDs. He also picked up 21 catches for 223 yards and a score. The seniors have some talented competition. Dyshawn Mobley picked up 184 yards last season as a true freshman. Another potential boost is sophomore Josh Clemons, who has not seen game action since the middle of 2011 season. He rushed for 279 yards that year, combining speed, strength and the ability to make tacklers miss. He saw limited action in the spring and looked much like his old self.

Junior D.J. Warren is a capable fullback when the staff opts to use twoback sets and Cody Jones provides solid depth there. There is plenty of work to do up front following the departure of the top two linemen from last season. Three regulars return – junior left tackle Darrian Miller, sophomore left guard Zach West and senior Kevin Mitchell, who moved from right tackle to right guard in the spring. West missed much of the spring with an injury and junior Teven Eatmon-Nared stepped in nicely at left guard. They will resume that competition in August. Sophomore Jordan Swindle, who showed great promise as a reserve last season, begins fall drills as the starting right tackle. Redshirt freshman Zach Myers played well at center in the spring and is the leader at that position. Several additional linemen continue to push for playing time and incoming freshmen could get into the playing rotation as well.

three starters have departed, there are numerous players available who have seen significant playing time. At cornerback, Cody Quinn, Fred Tiller and J.D. Harmon saw extensive action last season as true freshmen. Quinn led the team in breakups with five while Tiller broke up a pair of passes. Harmon had two interceptions and broke up four passes. Juniors Eric Simmons and Jerry Williams hope to break into the playing rotation. Six safeties with playing experience include senior Dakotah Tyler, juniors Ashely Lowery and Eric Dixon and sophomores Glenn Faulkner, Daron Blaylock and Zack Blaylock. Lowery started most of last season, gathering 43 tackles and an interception. Redshirt freshman Josh Harris, along with some incoming signees, will have an opportunity for playing time in the defensive backfield.

SPECIAL TEAMS Coach Mark Stoops and defensive coordinator D.J. Eliot use a 4-3 base alignment with the flexibility to play numerous fronts and coverages. The coaches’ system was adept against the run and the pass while rebuilding the Florida State defense into a championship unit. “We try to be good in all areas,” Stoops said. “We want to be a dominant defense, multiple enough to play sound base defense but also change it up with pressures and be multiple in all our fronts. We’re going to do what we have to do to be successful, week in and week out.” The coaches will have starters returning at the tackles and linebackers but are retooling at the end positions and defensive backfield. Five veterans are back at tackle, including seniors Donte Rumph, Mister Cobble and Tristian Johnson along with juniors Mike Douglas and Christian Coleman. Rumph made 36 tackles last season and six tackles for loss, including four quarterback sacks. Cobble accounted for 25 stops, including three TFL and a pair of sacks. Johnson emerged as a starter in the second half of the campaign after Cobble was sidelined. He made 27 tackles and showed some pass-rush ability with 1.5 sacks while leading the team in quarterback hurries with five. In addition, Thomas Chapman and Patrick Graffree showed potential during their redshirt freshman seasons. Both starting ends have graduated, leaving plenty of playing time available. One spot will be filled by Alvin “Bud” Dupree, who returned to end during the spring after splitting time between linebacker and end during his previous two seasons. Playing mostly at linebacker a year ago, he accounted for 91 total tackles, 12.5 tackles for loss and six quarterback sacks, ranking in the top 10 of the Southeastern Conference in all three categories. Za’Darius Smith, a junior-college All-American who had 6.5 sacks last season, got a leg up on the other end position in the spring. Additional returning ends include juniors Alvin Davis and TraVaughn Pascal, sophomores Farrington Huguenin and Jabari Johnson, and redshirt freshman Langston Newton. With Dupree remaining at end, there will be two starters returning at linebacker. In the middle, senior Avery Williamson totaled 135 tackles last season, good for second in the SEC. A solid all-around player, he added 4.5 tackles for loss, three sacks, an interception, four pass breakups and caused two fumbles. Junior Miles Simpson manned an outside linebacker last season, totaling 70 tackles and breaking up four passes. However, Simpson missed much of the spring with an injury and Kory Brown ended the spring as the starter there. The other outside linebacker at the conclusion of spring was Khalid Henderson, who showed some ability while racking up 26 stops last season as a true fresman. Additional linebacker returnees provide depth while challenging for playing time, including juniors Malcolm McDuffen and Tyler Brause and sophomores Pancho Thomas and Josh Forrest. Numerous injuries wracked the defensive backfield a year ago, so although

Special teams coordinator Bradley Dale Peveto has returning starters at all specialist positions except placekicker. Senior Joe Mansour, who has handled kickoffs for three seasons, kicked well in the spring and leads for that open job. Freshman signee Austin MacGinnis will get a look there when he reports for practice. Punter Landon Foster earned Freshman All-America honors last season while averaging 42.9 yards per punt. Long snapper Kelly Mason and holder Jared Leet did a good job in their roles. Several players saw action last season as punt and kickoff returners, including Demarco Robinson, Daryl Collins, Raymond Sanders and Dyshawn Mobley.

Defensive tackle Tristian Johnson entered the lineup during the second half of the season. He accounted for 27 tackles, rushed the passer well with 1.5 sacks and five quarterback hurries, and returned a fumble for a touchdown.

CAT SCRATCHES RECORD-SETTING SPRING GAME NATIONALLY IN ATTENDANCE

IS

SIXTH

Everyone had heard about the way fans were gobbling up tickets to Kentucky’s 2013 Blue/White Spring Game. It seemed a certainty that UK would set a school record for spring game attendance, but even the most optimistic experts could not have predicted the scene on the evening of April 13 in Commonwealth Stadium. Fans came out early to tailgate, many of them taking advantage of a shuttle to and from Keeneland Race Course. When it was time for the Cat Walk, they lined up nine and 10 deep to cheer on the Wildcats as they walked into the stadium. Gates opened shortly after that and the stands were quickly full. “I remember going out on the field and thinking, ‘This looks like a game,’” Coach Mark Stoops said. By the first quarter, an estimated 50,831 fans were in Commonwealth Stadium, shattering the previous school record for spring game attendance by more than 30,000. Just as impressively, the showing gave UK the sixth-largest attendance of any spring game in the nation. They cheered as the Blue team held on for a 24-23 victory, giving the Cats a taste of what the atmosphere at Commonwealth will be like on Saturdays this fall. “I really appreciate the fan support, just an unbelievable atmosphere,” Stoops said. “I was amazed. You heard the numbers (of tickets distributed) but you never know who is going to show up. It was overwhelming, It was fantastic.

“Our players really felt that, the energy of the Cat Walk. Just to see the stadium, and they (the fans) were energetic and into the game, it was a great feeling. It will help our program.” As Stoops noted, the enthusiasm of the evening is still making an impact on Kentucky football. The coach has noted that recruits who were there on April 13 have continued to comment on the fan turnout and energy.

REMARKABLE RECRUITING Of all the impact that new coach Mark Stoops and his staff have made in a short period of time, the largest mark undoubtedly has come in recruiting. It didn’t take long for Stoops and staff to establish themselves. Three weeks after being named head coach, Stoops inked two junior-college players, defensive end Za’Darius Smith and tight end Steven Borden. Smith was ranked as the nation’s No. 1 strongside end by one national recruiting service. He ended spring practice as a starting end and Borden will be in the mix of receivers who will see game action. When Stoops took over in late November, UK was ranked in the 60s by the national recruiting services. Despite the late start in recruiting, in only two months there were 14 new commitments and UK’s ranking had soared to as high as No. 29 by Rivals.com.

STADIUM RENOVATIONS

ON THE

WAY

Kentucky has received legislative approval for a $110 million renovation of football facilities, primarily Commonwealth Stadium. The stadium project features a new look for the exterior of the stadium, redesigned concourses, additional suites, a new press box and upgraded support facilities. Plans are in the design process, with construction expected to begin in 2014 and completion targeted for 2015.

THE 2013 SEASON

NEW COORDINATORS RIDING WAVE OF S UCCESS

12

Kentucky’s new offensive and defensive coordinators, Neal Brown and D.J. Eliot, come to Lexington riding a wave of success in recent seasons. Brown was offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach the last three years at Texas Tech. In all three seasons, Tech ranked in the nation’s top-seven teams in passing offense, top 15 in total offense and top 25 in scoring offense, and increased production in all three categories each year since 2010. TTU finished the 2012 season scoring 37.5 points per game, passing for 355.9 yards per game, and piling up 495.8 total offensive yards per game. Eliot served as defensive ends coach under coordinator Mark Stoops the last three seasons at Florida State. The FSU defense zoomed from 108th in the nation in total defense in 2009, the year before their arrival, to second in the nation in that category last season. The 2012 FSU defense allowed a mere 254.1 yards per game. With Stoops having resigned to assume the Kentucky head coaching post in December, Eliot took over as defensive coordinator for FSU during the 2013 Orange Bowl. FSU’s opponent was Northern Illinois, which entered the game averaging more than 40 points and 485 yards per game. Under Eliot’s guidance, the FSU defense limited the Huskies to only 10 points and 259 total yards.

PLENTY

Kentucky was one of the most inexperienced teams in the nation last season, playing 14 true freshmen and 27 total freshmen. One of them was punter Landon Foster, who averaged 42.9 yards per punt and earned first-team Freshman All-America honors.

QUARTERBACK

The position drawing most of the media and public attention in 2013 is at quarterback as three sophomores and a freshman are vying for the position. Maxwell Smith has played parts of the last two seasons. In 12 games, he has completed 61.7 percent of his passes for 1,794 yards and 12 touchdowns. A quick decision maker and accurate passer, he has recovered from the ankle surgery that ended his 2012 season early.

Jalen Whitlow and Patrick Towles each saw action last season as true freshmen. Whitlow started the last seven games, completing 54 percent of his passes for 801 yards and three touchdowns. Whitlow also showed the ability to make plays with his feet, rushing for 206 net yards and three touchdowns. Towles played five games as a reserve and threw for 233 yards and one TD. An additional contender is freshman Reese Phillips, who graduated last December from Signal Mountain (Tenn.) High School, where he totaled more than 4,000 passing yards and 36 touchdowns over the last two seasons. Phillips enrolled in January and went through spring practice. It’s interesting to note that all four players threw at least one touchdown pass in the Blue/White Spring Game. Whitlow piled up the most yardage, completing 17-of-28 passes for 193 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed for 49 net yards and another TD.

LEADING TACKLERS RETURN

ON

DEFENSE

Kentucky’s top three tacklers from last season, Avery Williamson, Bud Dupree and Miles Simpson, return for the 2013 season. Williamson made 135 tackles a year ago, finishing second in the Southeastern Conference in total stops. The senior added 4.5 tackles for loss, three quarterback sacks, four pass breakups, a pass interception, caused two fumbles and recovered a fumble. Dupree made 91 tackles and his marvelous athleticism helped him lead the team with 12.5 tackles for loss and 6.5 quarterback sacks. He finished in the top 10 in the SEC in all three of those categories. He has split time between strongside linebacker and end during his two seasons. He is slated to play end in 2013. Simpson made 70 tackles at weakside linebacker, featuring a quarterback sack, four pass breakups and a fumble recovery. He missed much of the spring because of an injury and looks to make up for lost time in August.

CATSCELLANEOUS • Two potentially key players who missed all of the 2012 season because of injury returned in spring practice. Sophomore tailback Josh Clemons has been

out since midseason 2011 because of a knee injury. He showed great promise in the first half of 2011, rushing for 279 yards and two touchdowns. Sophomore safety Glenn Faulkner did not play last season because of an ankle injury. He played 11 games as a freshman in 2011 and hopes to return to playing contention, ending the spring as a second-team safety. • Kentucky was one of the nation’s most inexperienced teams last season. UK played 14 true freshmen, ranking sixth in the nation. A total of 27 freshmen played, including redshirt freshmen, which was fourth in the country. • Last season, tailback Raymond Sanders became the 33rd player in school history to rush for more than 1,000 yards in his career. Sanders enters his senior season with 1,078 rushing yards as a Wildcat. • Kentucky had one player selected in April’s National Football League draft, offensive guard Larry Warford, who was tabbed in the third round by the Detroit Lions. Four other Wildcats signed free-agent contracts. During the last six years, 45 Wildcats have been drafted or signed as free agents. • Three UK seniors, running back Jonathan George, offensive guard Kevin Mitchell and linebacker Avery Williamson, enjoyed an interesting experience in May as the Wildcats traveled to Ethiopia for an educational/service trip. Guided by UK senior associate director of athletics Jason Schlafer, the players visited families, played with children, distributed food and did work projects. George told the most poignant story. “We visited a leprosy community and there was an older man who didn’t have any legs,” George recalled. “He walked around with flip-flops on his hands and he used his hands to get around with. We were bagging food and charcoal for the people and he came in and started helping with his hands. He helped us bag the food that wasn’t just for him but for other people as well. He had a bike that he rode on and pedaled with his hands and that’s how he got around.” • Steve Meilinger, a two-time first-team All-American who starred for the Wildcats from 1951-53, has been named to the College Football Hall of Fame. Known as “Mr. Anywhere” because he played quarterback, running back, offensive end, defensive end, linebacker and defensive back, Meilinger will be officially inducted at the annual National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame dinner in New York in December.

asm. Wildcat fans immediately swamped the ticket office with phone calls, renewing season tickets or buying new ones, and competed to come up with the catchiest slogan for the new era of UK football (“Stoops Troops … Don’t Stoops Believin’ … Stoops, There He Is! ... Unstoopable!”). After staying in Tallahassee long enough to help guide the Seminoles to a win in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game, Stoops was introduced on Dec. 2 to a cheering throng of Wildcat supporters who were captivated by his passion and his vision for UK’s future. The momentum continued in the hiring process as Stoops’ first move was to bring D.J. Eliot, considered one of the bright, young minds in college football, from FSU to lead the UK defense. Next, Stoops lured former Wildcat player Neal Brown, one of the nation’s most accomplished offensive coordinators at Texas Tech, home to Lexington. Stoops completed his staff with a set of hungry, relentless coaches, averaging under 38 years of age, who combine intensity and a history of success. That success translated instantly on the recruiting trail. Inheriting a class ranked in the 60s by the national evaluation services, the coaches secured 14 new commitments in two months. UK’s national rankings zoomed into the 20s and 30s, an incredible performance given the short time available, including a No. 29 ranking by Rivals.com that is Kentucky’s highest ever in the 12-year history of the ratings. UK’s returning players embraced the new direction in spring practice, which was capped by a record crowd of 50,831 for the Spring Game. This fall, he begins his quest for the on-field turnaround of UK football fortunes. Part of the acclaimed Stoops coaching family, he has a history of dramatic improvements during his time as defensive coordinator at Florida State and Arizona. Stoops was defensive coordinator at FSU for the last three seasons, inheriting a unit ranked 108th in the NCAA in total defense and turning

it into one of the nation’s best. In the 2012 season, the Seminoles were second in the nation in total defense, allowing 254.1 yards per game, and sixth nationally in scoring defense at 14.7 points per game. Playing well against the run and the pass, FSU was third in the country in rushing defense and led the nation in pass defense. FSU led the ACC in seven defensive categories. Stoops also coached the defensive backs under head coach Jimbo Fisher. Eight Seminoles on defense earned 2012 AllACC honors, including four first-team selections, highlighted by one of the nation’s top defensive end duos in Bjoern Werner and Cornellius Carradine, who combined for 24 sacks and 31 tackles for loss. Werner was a finalist for the 2012 Bronko Nagurski Award as the National Defensive Player of the Year and was among the national leaders in sacks with 13. Stoops also coached cornerback Ronald Darby to ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year. An astounding total of seven FSU defenders were chosen in the 2013 NFL Draft, including a pair of firstrounders. The Seminoles’ prowess was a continuation of the 2011 season, when Stoops’ defenders led the nation in fewest yards allowed per carry (2.3), ranked fourth in the nation in total defense (275 yards per game), second in rushing defense (82.7 ypg), fourth in scoring defense (15.1 points per game), and eighth in tackles for loss (8.6 per game) and quarterback sacks (3.1 per game). FSU led the ACC in eight defensive categories. Stoops overhauled the Florida State defense in 2010, his first season as defensive coordinator. The Seminoles gave up 19.6 points per game, third-best in the ACC and 20th nationally. FSU ranked 42nd nationally in total defense that season; in contrast, the team was 108th nationally in

helping USF in the start-up of its program before the Bulls had their first kickoff in ‘97. Stoops has recruited and developed numerous outstanding defensive backs, many of whom went on to NFL careers. Among the notables are Antoine Cason and Michael Johnson at Arizona, Miami’s Philip Buchanon, Kelly Jennings, Brandon Meriweather, Ed Reed, Antrel Rolle, Mike Rumph and Sean Taylor and Wyoming’s Brian Lee. Stoops was raised in Youngstown, Ohio. As did brothers Bob and Mike, Mark played in the secondary at the University of Iowa for Hall of

Fame coach Hayden Fry. He participated in four bowl games as a player. Fry hired Stoops as a graduate assistant coach at Iowa in the 1990 and ‘91 seasons. The Hawkeyes won the 1990 Big Ten title and played in the Rose Bowl, duplicating feats Stoops also achieved as a player. Stoops went on to coach four years in high school before entering the collegiate ranks. Stoops and his wife, Chantel, have two sons, Will and Zack.

total defense and 94th in scoring defense in 2009, the year before Stoops’ arrival. FSU improved its overall defense by more than 80 yards per game, primarily by limiting opponents to 75 fewer rushing yards per game. The Seminoles ranked third in the nation in quarterback sacks and were 21st in tackles for loss. In the secondary, Stoops coached Xavier Rhodes to ACC Defensive Rookie of the Year honors and National Defensive Freshman of the Year accolades. During Stoops’ three seasons, FSU went 104, 9-4 and 12-2, including wins over South Carolina in the 2010 Chick-fil-A Bowl, Notre Dame in the 2011 Champs Sports Bowl and Northern Illinois in the 2013 Orange Bowl. Stoops was defensive coordinator and DBs coach at Arizona from 2004-09, working for his brother, Mike, who was head coach of the Wildcats. During Mark’s time there, Arizona’s records improved steadily, going 3-8, 3-8, 6-6, 5-7, 8-5 and 8-5. The Wildcats advanced to the Las Vegas Bowl and Holiday Bowl during the last two years. Mark and Mike are brothers of Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops, with Mark being the youngest. Mike is currently the defensive coordinator on Bob’s staff at Oklahoma. The eldest of the four Stoops brothers, Ron, Jr., is the linebackers coach at Youngstown State. Stoops inherited an Arizona unit that was 109th in the nation in total defense and 107th in scoring defense in 2003, the year before he arrived. By the end of his term at Arizona, the Wildcats ranked in the nation’s top 25 in total defense his final two seasons and ranked as high as 33rd in scoring defense. Prior to Arizona, Stoops coached the defensive backs three years at Miami (Fla.). The 2001 national champion Hurricanes led the nation in pass efficiency defense, scoring defense and turnover margin. That team also established a school record with 27 interceptions and 45 total takeaways. Stoops’ 2002 secondary led the nation in pass defense and pass efficiency defense. Despite having to replace all four starters in the defensive backfield, the 2003 team led the nation in pass defense. In his three seasons, Miami went 35-3, including the 12-0 Rose Bowl title campaign, plus appearances in the Fiesta and Orange bowls. Ten Miami defensive backs who played at least one season under Stoops were eventually selected in the National Football League draft – seven in the first round. Stoops got his first experience in leading a defense as co-defensive coordinator at Houston in the 2000 season. He coached the secondary at Wyoming from 1997-99 and the Cowboys notched three straight winning seasons. A highlight of his time there was a school-record 24 interceptions in the ‘97 season. His first fulltime coaching job was in 1996 at South Florida,

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT MARK STOOPS WHEN MARK STOOPS COACH ...

WAS INTRODUCED AS

HEAD

“He is one of those assistant coaches who has been elevating his game as a defensive coordinator … He has great pedigree being a Stoops brother and the fact that he has worked with some outstanding head coaches helps his cause. I think he is ready to go (be a head coach). That is a great choice (for Kentucky).” – ESPN analyst Kirk Herbstreit “The more I learn about the youngest of the college-coaching Stoops brothers, the more I like about what Mitch Barnhart did in luring him to Lexington. Stoops turned around Florida State’s defense in short order, which was impressive (and why he got the job), but I really like the way he’s gone about hiring a young, respected staff.” – Travis Haney of ESPN.com, who rated Stoops as the second-best coaching hire in the nation. “I think he’s one of the big reasons for the turnaround at Florida State. He’s just done a fantastic job. I think Jimbo Fisher himself would say he’s probably the biggest reason for their turnaround.” – Legendary Florida State Head Coach Bobby Bowden “If it was a 3-2 pitch in the bottom of the ninth with the game on the line, then Mitch Barnhart has hit a long drive that’s headed straight for the seats. Time will tell if it’s a round-tripper, but from this vantage point it sure looks like Barnhart has hit a home run … “ – John Clay, Lexington Herald-Leader

“I was more happy for Coach Stoops than anything. He’s a coach that’s put in his work. He doesn’t have to explain that it’s best for him and his family and sets him up for what he needs. That’s a blessing for him. He’s a great man and he deserves it.” -- Florida State defensive back Lamarcus Joyner

MEDIA REACTION FROM COACH STOOPS’ FIRST RECRUITING CLASS ... Zac Ellis of Sports Illustrated graded the recruiting performance of the 16 new head coaches in the BCS automatic qualifying conferences. Mark Stoops and Auburn’s Gus Malzahn were the only ones to receive a grade of “A.” “Kentucky locked up an impressive crop of signees,” Ellis wrote. “Stoops managed to lure 6-foot-3 250-pound defensive end Jason Hatcher away from USC, effectively putting a bow on the highest-rated Kentucky class in more than a decade. Four-star safety Marcus McWilson also added to the haul, and the Wildcats’ class came in No. 28 in Rivals.com’s final rankings; Kentucky finished no higher than 50th in any of the previous three cycles. It’s too soon to tell if the program is primed for a renaissance under Stoops, but this freshman class will certainly be intriguing to watch.” “After a very successful signing day,” wrote Edward Aschoff of ESPN.com, “Stoops’ popularity is surging throughout the Bluegrass State. His class was extremely balanced and met Kentucky’s major needs. “Thanks to relentless recruiting efforts from UK’s staff, Stoops’ bunch moved in front of the eight ball with some big, late splashes.”

THE FOOTBALL STAFF

“If new Kentucky coach Mark Stoops’ results are any indication, UK’s defense can expect quick and sustained improvement. As a defensive coordinator at Florida State (2010-12) and Arizona (2003-09), Stoops inherited defenses ranked outside the top 100 in yards per game. Both teams improved to the top 25 by the end of his time.” – Aaron Smith, CatsIllustrated.com

“I’m very proud of him. Very happy for him. He got an opportunity to go on and further his career and it’s something he wants to do. I’m happy for him. I think he’s a hard worker. He cares about what he does. He’s very diligent about what he does. He truly loves coaching.” -- Florida State Head Coach Jimbo Fisher

CORNERBACKS COACH

DERRICK ANSLEY

comprised primarily of freshmen and sophomores, although he does have three sophs who got significant game experience last season in J.D. Harmon, Cody Quinn and Fred Tiller. Ansley joins the Wildcat staff after a one-year term at Tennessee. In his one season, Ansley helped the Volunteers improve their national ranking in interceptions from 86th to 56th. He came to UT in Feb. 2012 after accepting the position of defensive back coach at Central Florida in Dec. 2011. Ansley was a defensive graduate assistant coach with Alabama in 2010-11, helping the Crimson Tide to a 22-4 record, including the 2011 national championship season. Alabama went 10-3 in Ansley’s first year en route to a win in the Capital One Bowl over Michigan State. The Tide won the 2011 national championship to finish a 12-1 season. The Crimson Tide had one of the best defenses in the country both years Ansley was on

staff, ranking fifth in total defense, third in scoring defense, sixth in pass efficiency defense and 13th in passing defense in 2010. In 2011, Alabama led the nation in total defense, scoring defense, passing defense and pass efficiency defense. Ansley also helped tutor Mark Barron, Dre Kirkpatrick and DeQuan Menzie to AllAmerica honors in 2011. “Coming to Kentucky is a great opportunity to learn from Coach Stoops and Coach Eliot, who obviously have had tremendous success and have great defensive minds,” Ansley said. “Our goal is to build a championship defense. I’m also excited about continuing to coach and compete in the SEC.” Ansley spent five seasons coaching at NCAA Division III Huntingdon College in Montgomery, Ala. before taking the graduate assistant position with Alabama. During his five-year stint with the Hawks, Ansley helped guide the team to its first-ever winning season and the school’s first playoff appearance. The Hawks posted a winning record four of the five seasons he was on staff, including two eight-win seasons. The year before Ansley got to Huntingdon, the team had 12 interceptions and 23 pass breakups. Those numbers improved to 15 interceptions and 44 pass breakups in year one. In Ansley’s final season with Huntington, the Hawks had 22 interceptions and an impressive 56 pass breakups. Ansley had a very successful collegiate playing career at Troy University, starting 40 consecutive games for the Trojans. The defensive back had a great junior season in 2003, finishing third in the nation in interceptions with nine pickoffs. He was first-team All-Sun Belt Conference in 2004, Troy’s first season in the league. He graduated in 2005 with a bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism and was working on his master’s in human environmental sciences at Alabama. Ansley is originally from Tallassee, Ala., and is married to Alaea Ansley.

fter stints with Southeastern Conference foes Alabama and Tennessee, former Troy University star defensive back Derrick Ansley has joined Mark Stoops’ coaching staff as an assistant coach in charge of the cornerbacks. “I’m excited to have Derrick join our staff,” Stoops said. “He is an outstanding young coach and I am extremely impressed with his football knowledge. I wanted another coach on the defensive staff who would bring a diversity of knowledge and experience in addition to the system we used at Florida State. Although Derrick is a young coach, he fits that with three years’ experience in the SEC at Alabama and at Tennessee.” Ansley will need to impart that SEC experience quickly.

OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR, QUARTERBACKS

NEAL BROWN ew Kentucky head football coach Mark Stoops is known for his background on defense, so a natural question at his introductory news conference was his thoughts on offensive philosophy. “We’re going to have an offense that you are going to enjoy, I promise you that,” Stoops said. “Where is (former Kentucky All-America quarterback) Tim Couch? We’re going to have an offense you’re going to be proud of. We’ll get out there and rip it around a little bit, we are going to throw it.” A few days later, Stoops made a commitment to fulfill that promise with the appointment of Neal Brown, a former teammate of Couch who guided one of the nation’s most productive offenses at Texas Tech, as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at UK. Brown’s immediate challenge at UK is to turn the fortunes of a Kentucky offense that ranked 113th in the nation last season in total offense and 116th in scoring offense.

THE FOOTBALL STAFF

N

20

“Neal is a young, hungry, dynamic coach who has had a lot of success in the Big 12,” Stoops said. “I want a style of offense that puts defenses in difficult situations. Also important to me was Neal’s familiarity with the people of Kentucky and the University. When you put together the football and the relationships, it was a no-brainer.” In each of Brown’s three seasons as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, Texas Tech ranked in the nation’s top-seven teams in passing offense, top-15 in total offense and top-25 in scoring offense, having increased production in all three categories each year since 2010. TTU finished the 2012 season second nationally in passing with 355.9 yards per game, 13th in total offense at 495.4 yards per game and 20th in scoring with 37.5 points per game. The ‘12 campaign was an expansion of the success from 2011, when Texas Tech ranked 13th nationally in total offense at 470.6 yards per game. The Red Raiders lit the scoreboard at a tune of 33.8 points per contest. Individually, quarterback Seth Doege put up eye-popping numbers over the last two seasons. In 2011, Doege threw for 4,004 yards and 28 touchdowns. He improved to 4,205 yards and 39 TDs as a senior. In his first season in Lubbock, Brown’s offense notched 460.2 yards of total offense per game, 318.9 passing, and scored at a 33.1-point clip as Tech went 8-5 and won the TicketCity Bowl. Brown’s running game has made significant contributions to the attack as well. The Red Raiders rushed for 135.7 yards per game and scored 52 rushing touchdowns during his three seasons. TTU’s primary running backs averaged 5.0 yards per rushing attempt, including a 5.8 average by Kenny Williams, the leading rusher in 2012. Prior to Texas Tech, Brown spent four seasons at Troy University, including the last two as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. During his term at Troy, the Trojans won or shared four consecutive Sun Belt Conference championships and earned three bowl invitations.

At the time the youngest offensive coordinator in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision, Brown’s 2009 offense finished third in the nation in total offense at 485.7 yards per game, fourth in passing at 336.5 yards and 16th in scoring with 33.7 points per contest. In 2008, his first as coordinator, Brown’s fast-paced offense set 10 school records. In addition to the team accomplishments, Brown guided quarterback Levi Brown to the Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year award in 2009 and SBC Newcomer of the Year in 2008. Brown went to Troy after serving one season as wide receivers coach at the University of Delaware, starting three freshman wideouts as the Blue Hens posted a 6-5 record. In 2004, Brown coached the quarterbacks and wide receivers at Sacred Heart, helping guide the school to a 6-4 record and the top-ranked scoring offense in the conference. In 2003, he was the tight ends coach and offensive line assistant at Massachusetts, helping the Minutemen win a share of the Atlantic-10 championship and a berth in the Division I-AA playoffs. Brown earned his bachelor’s degree in business management and his master’s in business administration from Massachusetts, where he played the 2001-02 seasons. He totaled 58 receptions for 721 yards and four touchdowns while being named to the Atlantic-10 All-Academic Team and the NCAA Division I-AA Athletic Directors’ Academic All-Star Team. Born in Louisville, Brown grew up in Bardstown before moving to Danville, where he was an all-state wide receiver at Boyle County High School, finishing his career as the No. 2 pass catcher in state history. He played at UK from 1998-2000 and was a two-year letterman, catching 10 passes, including one touchdown. He was a member of the Outback Bowl and Music City Bowl teams and earned a place on the Southeastern Conference Academic Honor Roll before transferring to Massachusetts. Brown is a member of the Boyle County Baseball and Football Hall of Fame. He and his wife, Brooke, have daughters Adalyn and Anslee.

DEFENSIVE LINE

JIMMY BRUMBAUGH former All-Southeastern Conference defensive tackle at Auburn and member of LSU’s staff during its national championship run in 2007, Jimmy Brumbaugh has joined the Kentucky staff as defensive line coach. “I think Jimmy will do a tremendous job in player development,” head coach Mark Stoops said. “It’s of major importance to teach defensive line play at the level of expectation that Coach Eliot (defensive coordinator D.J. Eliot) and I have. “Jimmy comes from the heritage of the legendary Pete Jenkins,” Stoops continued. Jenkins coached defensive line play for decades in the SEC (including Brumbaugh at Auburn), other colleges and in the National Football League “When I talked with Jimmy, he blew me away with his organization and plan of how he teaches and develops the defensive line.” Brumbaugh has impressive credentials as a player and coach. Brumbaugh’s most recent BCS stop was a two-year stint at Syracuse University, where he coached the defensive tackles in 2011

A

and the defensive line in 2010. While with the Orange, Brumbaugh helped guide the team to an 8-5 record his first season and a victory in the 2010 New Era Pinstripe Bowl over Kansas State. SU showed drastic improvements in national defensive rankings in 2010 under Brumbaugh, moving from 81st in scoring defense to 17th and 37th in total defense to seventh. One of the reasons for the defensive improvements was twotime All-Big East defensive end Chandler Jones, who was drafted 21st overall by the New England Patriots in the 2012 NFL Draft. Prior to Syracuse, Brumbaugh coached the defensive line at Louisiana Tech in 2008 and 2009, helping the Bulldogs to an 8-5 record, including a win in the 2008 Independence Bowl over Northern Illinois. Brumbaugh took over a defensive front that ranked 46th nationally against the rush in 2007 and moved that ranking to 13th at the conclusion of 2008. Brumbaugh’s line was led by D’Anthony Smith, who was a two-time first-team All-Western Athletic Conference performer. Louisiana Tech earned 27 sacks in 2008, which was the most by a Bulldog team in nearly a decade. Tech also recorded its first shutout since 1996, spanning 148 games. The native of Keystone Heights, Fla., is not only known for his coaching of defensive fronts, but also his knowledge of strength and conditioning. Brumbaugh served two seasons as an assistant strength and conditioning coordinator at LSU in 2006 and 2007, helping lead the Tigers to the 2007 national championship. While with the Tigers, Brumbaugh helped produce NFL-ready talent, helping 12 players get drafted, including five first-round picks. Before his stop at LSU, Brumbaugh got his first coaching role at Jacksonville State as a student assistant, guiding the Gamecocks to the 2004 Ohio Valley Conference championship and

a 9-2 record. He spent the 2005 season at Tennessee-Chattanooga as the defensive line coach. In 2012, Brumbaugh coached at East Mississippi Community College, where he was in charge of the defensive line and the strength and conditioning coordinator. Brumbaugh helped lead the Lions to a top-10 national ranking with an 8-2 record en route to the Mississippi North Division championship. Brumbaugh’s defensive line had a solid season, collecting a combined 224 tackles, including 44.5 tackles for loss, 21.5 sacks and seven fumbles forced. For the season, the EMCC defense allowed just 74.5 rushing yards per game and only 15.3 points per game. In just one season, Brumbaugh developed six defensive linemen who signed Division I scholarships, including end Za’Darius Smith at Kentucky. Smith was rated as the nation’s No. 1 junior college strongside defensive end prospect by JCGridiron.com. During his playing days at Auburn, Brumbaugh started 44 of his 48 career games, gathering 291 tackles and 15 sacks as a nose tackle and defensive tackle. Brumbaugh was named Freshman All-SEC in 1995, second-team All-SEC in 1996 and first-team All-SEC in 1997. He helped the Tigers earn the 1997 SEC Western Division championship and play in three bowl games, winning two. After his collegiate career ended, Brumbaugh signed a free-agent deal with the San Francisco 49ers in 2000 although most of his professional playing career was spent in the XFL with the Birmingham Bolts and in arena football with the Georgia Force and Birmingham Steel Dogs. Brumbaugh graduated from Auburn with a degree in health and human performance. He is married to the former Kelly Jones. They have two sons, Legend and Nash.

DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR, LINEBACKERS

D.J. ELIOT .J. Eliot, who played a key role in the dramatic defensive turnaround at Florida State under Mark Stoops, joined Stoops’ Kentucky staff as defensive coordinator and linebackers coach. “D.J. is one of the brightest young minds in college football,” said Stoops, who has coached with Eliot at four schools. “He has a relentless work ethic and is extremely detailed.” Eliot coached defensive ends the last three seasons at Florida State. In 2012, he helped lead FSU to one of the best defensive campaigns in school history en route to a 12-2 record, the championship of the Atlantic Coast Conference and a victory in the 2013 Orange Bowl. The year before Eliot and Stoops arrived in Tallahassee, the Seminoles ranked 108th in total defense and rushing defense. But in 2012, FSU ranked second nationally in total defense (254.1 yards per game) and sixth in scoring defense (14.7 points per game). FSU also allowed only 3.86 yards per play, leading the nation in that category.

D

In each of Eliot’s first two years on the job, FSU ranked among the nation’s top 10 teams in sacks and the top 25 in tackles for loss. Eliot’s players also had outstanding individual achievements. • Bjoern Werner had 13 sacks last season, leading the ACC and tying for third nationally in total sacks. He was first-team All-America and the ACC Defensive Player of the Year. He was a firstround pick in the 2013 NFL Draft. • Brandon Jenkins earned All-ACC honors in 2010 and ‘11 before sustaining a season-ending injury in the 2012 season opener. Despite not playing the remainder of the year, he was still a fifth-round selection in the NFL Draft. • After Jenkins’ injury, Cornellius Carradine went from FSU backup to joining Werner as firstteam All-ACC. He had 11 sacks, second in the ACC behind his teammate, and 15th nationally. He went in the second round of the NFL Draft. • Under Eliot’s guidance, Markus White had a breakout season in 2010 and has played two seasons in the NFL. Werner and Carradine formed the top defensive end tandem in the nation with a combined 24 sacks and 31 total tackles for loss. In 2011, Jenkins, Werner and Carradine combined for 20.5 sacks and 31 TFL while limiting opponents to just 2.35 yards per carry, which led the nation in that category. In Eliot’s first season at FSU, the ‘Noles tied for the national lead for most sacks with 48. Eliot and Stoops first became acquainted at Wyoming, where Stoops coached the defensive backs while Eliot played linebacker. The two coached together at Wyoming as Eliot was a graduate assistant for his alma mater in 1999. The two continued to work together in 2000 when Stoops joined the staff at the University of Houston as the co-defensive coordinator/safeties coach and Eliot was a graduate assistant. Eliot remained at Houston through 2001 before rejoining Stoops in 2002 at Miami (Fla.) as a grad assistant. The two helped lead the Canes

to a 12-1 record and a berth in the Fiesta Bowl. Eliot earned his first full-time coaching position in 2003 at Texas State. The Bobcats went from a 4-8 record to 5-6 to 11-3 in the 2005 season, which featured a Southland Conference championship and a berth in the semifinals of the Division I-AA playoffs. Eliot helped lead a defensive turnaround at Texas State. In his first season, TSU gave up 34.8 points per game, 394.6 yards per game and 191.3 rushing yards per game. Two years later, the Bobcats gave up only 20.3 points per game, 313.9 yards per game and 136.2 rushing yards per game. Eliot moved from Texas State to Tulsa, helping lead the Golden Hurricane to an 8-5 record and an appearance in the 2006 Armed Forces Bowl. As linebackers coach, Eliot developed Nick Bunting into the Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year and all three of his LBs, Bunting, Nelson Coleman and Chris Chamberlain, earned AllCUSA honors. Chamberlain went on to an NFL career and currently plays for New Orleans. After Tulsa, Eliot coached three seasons (20072009) at Rice as the recruiting coordinator and defensive line coach. His best year at Rice was in 2008 when the Owls went 10-3 and won the Texas Bowl. The season was historic for Rice, serving as the Owls’ first 10-win season since 1949 and first bowl victory since 1950. Two of the players Eliot recruited and developed were defensive ends Scott Solomon and Cheta Ozougwu, who led Conference USA linemen in 2009 with 124 combined tackles along with 21 tackles for loss and 11 sacks. Both Solomon and Ozougwu became All-CUSA selections and are in the NFL, Solomon with Tennessee and Ozougwu with Chicago. A native of Edmond, Okla., Eliot graduated from Wyoming with a degree in natural science. He earned a master’s degree in education at Houston. He and his wife, Miekel, have one son, Dawson, and two daughters, Drue and Page.

WIDE RECEIVERS

TOMMY MAINORD fter spending the past three seasons helping Neal Brown build an electric offense at Texas Tech as an assistant coach for outside receivers, Tommy Mainord agreed to rejoin Brown as Kentucky’s wide receivers coach. “Tommy brings a wealth of experience and success to our program,” head coach Mark Stoops said. “Coming from a coaching family, he is well-rounded with a great depth of football knowledge. Tommy is a true professional who is also known for his relentless work ethic. His familiarity with our offensive system will help the players’ transition to the new offense.” Mainord’s first job will be to develop a young set of wide receivers that has no seniors and lost the top pass catcher from a year ago. Mainord brings several years of offensive coaching success to Lexington, including the last three years with the Red Raiders. In every season in Lubbock, Mainord helped lead TTU to top-10 national rankings in passing offense, top 15 in total offense and top 25 in scoring

A

offense. The Red Raiders increased their production in all three categories every season under Mainord, including finishing the 2012 season ranked second in passing offense (355.9 yards per game), 13th in total offense (495.8 ypg) and 20th in scoring offense (37.5 points per game). Mainord coached two of the best receivers in college football in 2012. Darrin Moore finished 12th nationally in receptions per gamewith 92 catches for 1,032 yards and 13 touchdowns, while Eric Ward was 19th with 82 catches for 1,053 yards and 12 TDs. The success in 2012 was spurred off the solid season the Red Raider offense posted in 2011, when TTU finished seventh in passing offense, racking up 4,145 passing yards. Mainord’s squad also performed well in his first season, including Lyle Leong, who ranked second nationally with 19 touchdown catches. Before his stint in Lubbock, Mainord was named the offensive coordinator at Lamar in Sept. 2008 as the Cardinals’ program began preparation to return to the field in 2010 after being dormant for more than 20 years. Mainord had a three-year stint at Sam Houston State in 2005-07, spending three seasons as an assistant coach for wide receivers or running backs. In 2007, SHS ranked 16th in the country in passing offense and 21st in total offense. Following the ’07 season, Mainord was promoted to co-offensive coordinator but he departed before the next season began. Mainord tutored several talented players while with the Bearkats, including D.D. Terry, who rushed for a school-record 1,328 yards to rank seventh in the Football Championship Subdivision and pace the Southland Conference. Terry was honored as the Southland

Conference Offensive Player of the Year and was one of 16 finalists for the Walter Payton Award, which honors the Division I FCS Offensive Player of the Year. Mainord cut his teeth in coaching at his alma mater, spending six seasons at Tarleton State. Mainord began his coaching career as a student assistant in 1999, followed by two years as a graduate assistant from 2000-01, helping the team to the Lone Star Conference Championship in ‘01 with a 10-3 record. The Texans also won the LSC North Division Title in 2002 and 2003. Tarleton State had a solid offensive season in 2004 while Mainord was coaching quarterbacks and running backs. Derrick Ross, who earned NCAA Division II honorable mention All-America honors and was an NCAA AllRegion and All-Lone Star Conference firstteam selection. Ross gained 1,560 yards in 10 games for the Texans, which was the best rushing total by an LSC back in 14 seasons. The Texans also had a great offensive season in 2001, gathering 1,773 yards and scoring 24 touchdowns on the ground en route to a top10 national ranking and advancing to the NCAA Division II quarterfinals. Mainord played baseball at TSU before joining the football program as a student assistant coach. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in health and sports science in 2000 and his master’s degree in education in 2001. Mainord grew up with the game of football as his father, Carlos, was a National Football League coach with Chicago, New Orleans, Carolina and St. Louis and also coached in college at Texas Tech, Miami (Fla.) and Rice.

TIGHT ENDS

VINCE MARROW ince Marrow, former National Football League tight end who has spent the last two seasons coaching tight ends at perennial national power Nebraska, joined Mark Stoops as tight ends coach at the University of Kentucky. “I’m very excited that Coach Marrow has joined our staff,” Stoops said. “His diverse experiences as a coach and NFL player will be invaluable to our players and our program. He also is a great recruiter, especially with his outstanding connections in Ohio.” Stoops and Marrow, both from Youngstown, Ohio, knew each other as children before playing football together at Cardinal Mooney High School. Marrow went on to have a successful playing career collegiately and professionally as a tight end before entering the coaching ranks. Marrow (pronounced the same as in the term “bone marrow”) comes to UK from Nebraska, where he coached the Cornhuskers’ tight ends the last two seasons. In 2012, Marrow helped guide NU’s tight ends to a combined 48 catches for 651 yards and five touchdowns, while their blocking ability helped NU rank eighth in the country in rushing offense.

High School in Springfield, Ohio in 2009, Marrow earned his first collegiate coaching position at his alma mater, Toledo, in 2008. Marrow coached the Rockets’ tight ends, helping John Allen and Tom Burzine to finish third and fifth on the team in receiving, respectively. Marrow began his coaching career in NFL Europe, coaching tackles and tight ends with the Rhein Fire (Düsseldorf, Germany) from 2006-07 before holding the same position with the Berlin Thunder from 2005-06. Marrow had a professional playing career as a member of NFL rosters on five teams, including Buffalo, Carolina, New York Jets, Chicago and San Francisco.

Cotton and Kyler Reed, who ranked fourth and sixth on the team respectively in receiving, earned honorable-mention All-Big Ten honors. The Huskers went 10-4 and played in the Capital One Bowl. Marrow’s knowledge and coaching had an impact on the Nebraska offense as the Cornhuskers ranked 26th in total offense and 28th in scoring offense nationally, an improvement from 44th in total offense and 39th in scoring offense the year before he arrived. Marrow showed an impact on the Huskers’ offense in his first season, helping Nebraska average nearly 30 points per game in 2011, scoring at least two touchdowns in every game throughout the season, a feat that an NU team had accomplished only twice in the past 10 seasons. The Cornhuskers went 9-4, including a trip to the Capital One Bowl. Although Marrow’s title was graduate assistant in his term at Nebraska, he had an expanded role in the spring of 2012, getting to hit the recruiting trail after Nebraska was granted a waiver from the NCAA to allow Marrow to recruit off campus while associate head coach Barney Cotton was unable to recruit because of surgery. Marrow made an immediate impact on NU’s recruiting in Ohio. “I’ve known Mark Stoops for a lot of years and this is a great opportunity to come here and work with him,” Marrow said. “I’m excited to be here and looking forward to the new era of Kentucky football.” Marrow will work with a veteran set of tight ends in his first season, including three seniors, a junior and a junior-college transfer. Prior to his stint at Nebraska, Marrow spent six years in the coaching ranks, mostly in professional football with NFL Europe and the United Football League. The year before joining Bo Pelini’s staff at NU, Marrow was tight ends coach with the Omaha Nighthawks of the UFL. Before serving as the head coach of Holland

A graduate of Southern Methodist University, Peveto played in four bowl games, helped SMU win two Southwest Conference championships and had a combined record of 43-14-1. As a senior, he served as team co-captain and earned the Wild Mustang Special Teams Player of the Year Award and the Mike Kelsey Award for attitude, hustle and desire. He also was named to the SWC All-Academic team. Peveto comes from a family with a rich football coaching tradition. His late father, Ed, coached high school football in the Southeast Texas area and was inducted into the Greater Houston Coaches Hall of Honor in 1993 and into the Golden Triangle Coaches Hall of Fame in 1997. Two of his late uncles, Jeff and Garey Birt, coached at high schools in the Southeast Texas area.

Schlarman came to UK from Troy University, where he has coached the offensive line for the past six years, adding the duty of running game coordinator since 2010. He has helped Troy win or share four Sun Belt Conference championships and advance to three bowl games. Troy has had one of the nation’s most productive offenses during Schlarman’s term, ranking among the nation’s top 26 in total offense in five of his six seasons at the school. With new UK offensive coordinator Neal Brown in the same role at Troy, the Trojans hit a No. 3 ranking in total offense in 2009 with 485.7 yards per game. Troy averaged 498.8 yards per game in 2012, ranking 13th nationally.

Featuring pass-oriented offenses, the Trojans have rated as high as No. 4 in the nation in passing yardage, accomplished in 2009 at 336.5 yards per game. Troy was eighth nationally in passing in 2012 with 331.5 yards per game. Troy also has had complementary running games with Schlarman, averaging at least 149 yards per game in five of his six seasons, featuring a high mark of 182.6 yards per contest in 2007. All the yardage also has resulted in point production as the team averaged at least 30 points per game in five of his six years. Individually, Schlarman coached eight firstteam All-Sun Belt selections, including at least one first-teamer each season. Two of his linemen, Dion Small and Tyler Clark, were two-time firstteam All-SBC. Another All-SBC lineman, James Brown, went on to the National Football League and currently is a member of the Chicago Bears. “I like what John has done at Troy and the very prolific offenses they have had,” head coach Mark Stoops said. “John has built a great reputation as an offensive line coach. He’s not only a great coach but part of the tradition at UK.” Schlarman has his work cut out in the upcoming season. The top two Wildcats from last year’s line have graduated and only one senior is among the returning linemen. Schlarman originally came to the University from Highlands High School in Ft. Thomas, Ky., where he was an all-state offensive lineman. He was a four-year starter at Kentucky from 1994-97, earning first-team All-SEC honors as a senior. He also was a member of the SEC AllFreshman Team in 1994 and was chosen the team’s most outstanding offensive lineman in 1995 and ‘96. Following his junior season, he was chosen for the “Unsung Hero All-America Team” by the College Football Chronicle. Also an outstanding student, Schlarman was a three-year member of the SEC Acad-

emic Honor Roll and was a finalist for Academic All-America in 1997 after earning a place on the Academic All-District Team. He graduated with a degree in mathematics and later earned his master’s in sports management. Schlarman entered coaching at Bourbon County High School, coaching the defensive line in 1998 and ‘99, helping guide the team to the state playoffs both seasons. He returned to UK as a graduate assistant coach from 2000-02, helping with the offensive line all three seasons. He also had sole responsibility of the tight ends in the ‘02 campaign when the Wildcats compiled a 7-5 record. Schlarman re-entered the high-school ranks in 2003 as head coach at Campbell County for two seasons. He moved to Newport HS in 200405 and had a two-year record of 19-6, including two state playoff appearances and a district title. The best season was 2005, when Newport went 11-2 and reached the state playoff quarterfinals before losing to the eventual state champion. He was named District Coach of the Year in 2005 by the Kentucky Football Coaches Association. “It’s an honor to get to come back to my home state and alma mater,” Schlarman said. “I’m looking forward to contributing to making Kentucky a winner. “Getting to coach with Mark Stoops and Neal Brown is great. There’s a lot of energy on this staff that will carry over to the players and onto the field.” Schlarman is married to the former Lee Anne Federspiel, daughter of former UK linebacker Joe Federspiel. They have three sons, Joseph, Benjamin and Matthew.

RUNNING BACKS

CHAD SCOTT ormer Kentucky tailback Chad Scott, who has spent the past six seasons coaching running backs with UK offensive coordinator Neal Brown at both Troy and Texas Tech, has returned to Lexington as running backs coach “I’m excited to have Chad join our staff,” head coach Mark Stoops said. “He has had tremendous success coaching in this system and his familiarity with Coach Brown, along with his experience with the Kentucky program, will help our transition with the team. He also is known as an outstanding recruiter and I’m confident he will help us in that area as well.” Scott has ventured back to Kentucky after spending the last three seasons at Texas Tech. While TTU has been known for great success

throwing the ball, Scott’s running backs have made significant contributions to the offense as well. The Red Raiders rushed for 135.7 yards per game and scored 52 rushing touchdowns during his three seasons. TTU’s primary running backs averaged 5.0 yards per rushing attempt. Scott inherited a running attack that ranked 115th in rushing offense in 2009 at 84 yards per game, improving that mark in his first season to 75th nationally with 141.3 yards per contest. The team’s leading rusher, Baron Batch, was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers and has spent two years with that team. The improvements continued in Scott’s second season as Texas Tech was on pace to have its best year rushing since the late 1990s before Tech’s top two rushers both sustained seasonending injuries. The Red Raider running backs still rushed for 1,516 yards on the season. In 2012, TTU averaged 139.9 yards per game on the ground with three backs rushing for more than 400 yards each. Overall, Texas Tech won the TicketCity Bowl over Northwestern following the 2010 season and defeated Minnesota in the Meineke Car Care Bowl of Texas in 2012. Scott earned his first full-time coaching job at Troy as an assistant coach for running backs from 2007-09, helping lead the Trojans to three consecutive Sun Belt Conference Championships and a pair of appearances in the New Orleans Bowl. Scott was a part of an offensive turnaround at Troy, inheriting an offense that ranked 66th in rushing offense and 77th in total offense prior to his arrival. In just one season, Troy moved to 35th nationally in rushing offense with 182.6 yards per game and 16th in total offense with 452.8 yards per contest. In his final season at Troy, the Trojans ranked third in the nation in total offense. In each of Scott’s first two seasons he coached an All-Sun Belt Conference player in Kenny Cattouse and DuJuan Harris. Harris

ranked second in the conference in rushing in 2008 with 1,077 yards and is a starting running back with the Green Bay Packers. In Scott’s last season at Troy he coached Shawn Southward, who rushed for 602 yards and 12 touchdowns, to Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the Year honors. In his six seasons at Troy and Texas Tech, Scott’s teams averaged 34.1 points per game. A native of Plant City, Fla., Scott enrolled at Kentucky in 2000, rushing for 611 yards as a true freshman en route to All-SEC Freshman Team honors and third-team Freshman AllAmerica honors. Scott’s sophomore season with UK was limited because of injury and he transferred to North Carolina to complete his collegiate career. With the Tar Heels, Scott rushed for 182 yards as a junior. In a solid senior campaign, Scott ranked seventh in the Atlantic Coast Conference in rushing with 796 yards and eight rushing touchdowns. Scott spent time in the National Football League with Cleveland, Pittsburgh and the New York Giants before returning to his alma mater in 2006 as a graduate assistant video analyst. Scott graduated from UNC with a degree in sociology. He is married to the former Shambrica Jones, who played basketball at Kentucky, and the couple has a daughter, Kori, and a son, Jakobe.

2012 GAME RECAPS 1 >> #25 LOUISVILLE 32, KENTUCKY 14 // 9/2/12

2 >> KENTUCKY 47, KENT STATE 14 // 9/8/12

entucky could not continue its streak of fiveconsecutive season opening victories, falling to in-state foe Louisville 32-14 at Papa John’s Cardinals Stadium in Louisville. U of L quarterback Teddy Bridgewater paced the Cardinals, completing 19-of-21 passes for 232 yards, while running backs Senorise Perry and Jeremy Wright each rushed for more than 100 yards and combined for four touchdowns. The Wildcats totaled 373 yards total offense and accumulated 24 first downs. Sophomore quarterback Maxwell Smith completed 35-of-50 passes for 280 yards and two touchdowns. Senior tailback CoShik Williams led the Wildcat rushing with 62 yards on just 10 carries. Kentucky had the opening possession of the game, switching field position and pinning Louisville at its own one-yard line for the Cardinals’ opening series. However, the Cards put together a 99-yard touchdown drive and tallied a two-point conversion to take an 8-0 lead. UK cut the lead to 8-7 on its next drive, traveling 75 yards down the field before Smith connected with tight end Tyler Robinson for a one-yard touchdown reception. But less than three minutes later, Louisville’s offense regained the lead with a drive that ended with a 47-yard touchdown rush by Perry. U of L led 22-7 at halftime after a 14-yard TD run by Wright. U of L tacked on 10 points in the third quarter with a 22-yard field goal by John Wallace and a one-yard touchdown run by Wright to take a 32-7 lead. UK answered late in the third with a flawless 65-yard touchdown drive with Smith connecting with La’Rod King from five yards out to cut the lead to 32-14. That proved to be the final score as neither team got on the board in the fourth quarter.

axwell Smith had a career-best 354 yards passing and four touchdowns and Raymond Sanders added a careerhigh 115 yards rushing as Kentucky beat Kent State 47-14 to win its seventh-straight home opener at Commonwealth Stadium. The Wildcats racked up 539 yards to wear down the Golden Flashes. Aaron Boyd caught 11 passes for 100 yards during the game, including his first collegiate touchdown, and Sanders had a 67-yard TD dash as UK built a 17-7 halftime lead. After Kent State cut the lead to 17-14 on the opening drive of the third quarter, UK responded with 30 unanswered points. Smith's 18-yard touchdown pass to a leaping Gene McCaskill capped an 11-play, 80-yard drive with 7:06 left in the third quarter. After the UK defense hit the scoreboard by getting a safety, Kentucky scored touchdowns on its next three possessions. Four plays after the safety, Jonathan George scurried up the middle for a 38-yard touchdown run before Smith threw his third touchdown with 13:28 left in the game, an 11-yard fade to La'Rod King, to make it 40-14. Kent State pushed into Wildcats' territory on its next possession, but Miles Simpson sacked the quarterback on fourth-and-10 from the Kentucky 32 for a 12yard loss and a turnover on downs. Smith's final pass of the game found DeMarcus Sweat along the right sideline and the freshman broke the screen for 56-yard touchdown and the game's final 47-14 margin. It was his first career reception. Kentucky's 539 yards marked its best offensive performance since recording 580 yards against Vanderbilt on Nov. 13, 2010. Smith finished 30 of 39 and his 354 yards were the most for a Wildcats quarterback since 2007. Boyd, a senior making his first start since his freshman season, eclipsed his previous career totals in receptions (nine) and yards (87) in this game alone.

WKU’s Garrett Schwettman started the scoring with a 23-yard field goal before running back Antonio Andrews earned a pair of one-yard touchdown rushes to create the 17-0 advantage. Kentucky got its offense going after Andrews’ second touchdown, rolling 65 yards down the field in seven plays, scoring its first points of the game when junior tailback Jonathan George rushed in from eight yards out.

UK’s Collins Ukwu blocked a Florida field goal attempt, but late in the quarter, Florida pieced together a two-minute drill that ended with Jeff Driskel connecting with Quinton Dunbar for a 19-yard touchdown reception. Each team had four drives in the second half, with Florida scoring a touchdown in each quarter. Driskel made it 31-0 with a one-yard touchdown rush late in the third quarter, while Jacoby Brissett also rushed in from one-yard out midway through the fourth quarter. Kentucky did not have its starting quarterback or tailback in the game as sophomore quarterback Maxwell Smith did not play due to a shoulder injury and tailback CoShik Williams also was sidelined. QB Morgan Newton threw for 48 yards and added 34 rushing yards. TB Jonathan George ran for 52 yards and Raymond Sanders picked up 48 as the Wildcats rushed for 159 yards. Linebackers Avery Williamson and Bud Dupree led the defense with eight tackles each, including a quarterback sack by Dupree. The Cats had three sacks during the game, plus an interception by cornerback Martavius Neloms.

entucky had a goal line stand, blocked a punt and recovered a fumble en route to a 10-point lead at halftime over No. 6 South Carolina before the Gamecocks scored 31 unanswered points in the second half to defeat UK 38-17 at Commonwealth Stadium. Both teams went three-and-out to start the game but Kentucky’s was a costly series as starting quarterback Maxwell Smith sustained an ankle injury on the second offensive play of the game that sidelined him for the rest of the season. On the ensuing South Carolina possession, the Gamecocks drove 55 yards down the field to the UK one-yard line before being stopped on third and fourth downs. UK and new quarterback Jalen Whitlow responded with one of the best offensive drives of the season, marching 94 yards before ending with a 22-yard field goal from Craig McIntosh. After both teams exchanged a three-and-out, South Carolina took its first lead of the game when Ace Sanders caught a three-yard TD to make it 7-3. Kentucky responded with touchdowns on its next two possessions, including the first that ended with Whitlow’s first career rushing touchdown from eight yards away. After Wildcat freshman DeMarcus Sweat blocked a Gamecock punt, Kentucky put together another scoring drive when Raymond Sanders rushed in from 10 yards out to give the Wildcats a 17-7 lead. UK’s defense was stellar on USC’s next series, recovering a fumble on the 10-yard line with one minute to play. However, the Wildcats were unable to add to the lead as time expired when UK recovered its own fumble but could not get another play off. The highly ranked Gamecocks took control of the game in the second half, scoring touchdowns on four of their six possessions, including three straight to start the half, to seal the victory. South Carolina tailback Marcus Lattimore punched in two touchdowns in the second half en route to 23 carries for 120 yards overall. Quarterback Connor Shaw threw for 148 yards and two touchdowns while also rushing for 76 net yards. In relief of Smith, Whitlow threw for 114 yards. Sanders led UK’s rushing attack with 59 yards on 14 carries.

o. 20-ranked Mississippi State jumped out to a 14-0 lead, then held on to defeat Kentucky 27-14 in Commonwealth Stadium. The game against Mississippi State completed a three-game stretch for Kentucky against top-20 ranked, undefeated Southeastern Conference opponents. Kentucky played four ranked opponents in the first six weeks of the season, the first time that has happened in 42 years. The Bulldogs started off strong, marching 85 yards down the field on the first series of the game before Adrian Marcus scored on a 10-yard touchdown pass to give the Bulldogs a 7-0 lead they would not relinquish. Later in the quarter, MSU added to the lead when LaDarius Perkins got a 31-yard touchdown run to make the score 14-0. Kentucky responded on the next drive behind strong play from true freshman quarterback Patrick Towles, who took the Wildcats 80 yards down the field on his first career series to cut the lead in half. Towles went 5-for-5 passing on the drive, including a 32-yard strike to La’Rod King for a touchdown. However, on the very next possession, Towles was sacked and injured an ankle that sidelined him for the rest of the game. Fellow true freshman quarterback Jalen Whitlow, who started the game, saw the rest of the snaps at QB. MSU tacked on two field goals from Devon Bell in the final two minutes to increase its halftime lead to 20-7. The Bulldogs scored on their first possession of the second half, featuring a 27-yard touchdown pass from Tyler Russell to Chad Bumphis to increase the lead to 27-7. That would be the only points of the second half for Mississippi State as the UK defense held its ground from there. UK got on the scoreboard midway through the third quarter when Whitlow rushed in from three yards out to cut the MSU lead to 13. UK successfully converted an onside kick, but was not able to capitalize. The score held through the fourth quarter. Whitlow completed 10 of 21 passes for 73 yards and added 26 rushing yards. Linebacker Avery Williamson paced the defensive effort with 13 tackles, a pass breakup and a quarterback hurry.

rkansas earned a game-shortened 49-7 victory over Kentucky at Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium. The game was terminated with 5:08 to play in the third quarter due to lightning and continued bad weather forecast the remainder of the night. It was the second suspension of play due to inclement weather in the game. The battle started with Arkansas’ offense scoring a touchdown on its first offensive play of the game. Quarterback Tyler Wilson, who ended the game with 372 passing yards and five touchdowns, found Jonathan Williams for a 74-yard touchdown to give Arkansas an early lead. The Razorbacks then went up 14-0 when Dennis Johnson capped off a 11play, 75-yard drive with a three-yard rush with 6:12 to go in the first quarter. Just over three minutes of game time later, lightning quickly moved into the Fayetteville area, causing the game to be suspended and both teams to take shelter in their locker rooms. After an hour and six minute delay, play resumed and the Arkansas offense scored two touchdowns to complete the first quarter, including a Johnson five-yard reception and a Williams 77-yard touchdown reception. The Razorbacks added 14 points in the second quarter as Wilson connected with Javontee Herndon for an eight-yard touchdown reception and Johnson rushing in from two yards out. Arkansas opened the third quarter with the ball and increased its lead to 49-0 with a 10-play, 75-yard drive that concluded with Wilson connecting with Julian Horton from 18 yards out. Kentucky responded with its lone touchdown of the game later in the quarter when Jalen Whitlow found La’Rod King for a 61-yard touchdown reception. Moments after King’s catch, UK got a defensive stop to force an apparent Arkansas punt, but heavy rains and lightning returned to the Fayetteville area, causing play to be suspended for good and Arkansas was awarded the 49-7 victory.

entucky rushed for 206 yards, including a career-high 87 from junior Jonathan George, but Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray was equally impressive, throwing four touchdown passes to become the school's career leader, helping rally the No. 13 Bulldogs for a 29-24 victory over Kentucky at Commonwealth Stadium. Murray finished 30 of 38 for 427 yards for Georgia, finding wide receiver Tavarres King for two touchdowns. King finished with nine receptions for 188 yards while Malcolm Mitchell had nine catches for 103 yards. Arthur Lynch and Chris Conley also caught touchdowns for the Bulldogs, and Todd Gurley added 47 rushing yards on 12 carries. True freshman quarterback Jalen Whitlow guided the Kentucky offense with occasional relief help from Morgan Newton, who passed for one touchdown and ran for another. George and fellow tailback Raymond Sanders led a rushing attack that piled up 206 yards. Kentucky opened the game by driving 84 yards in 13 plays, mostly on the ground. Whitlow led most of the drive before Newton relieved him to complete the possession by finding Aaron Boyd for a 4-yard touchdown. Georgia tied the game when Murray hit King on a 66-yard bomb. Just as quickly, the Wildcats went back ahead with the help of an option pass that caught the Bulldogs off guard. On second and 9 from Georgia's 35, Whitlow threw left to Demarco Robinson before the wide receiver threw it back across the field to Whitlow, who followed a wall of blockers for a 33-yard gain to the Bulldogs' 2. Newton's 2-yard run finished the 58-yard drive, putting UK up 14-7. Murray and King connected again on Georgia's next possession, first for 48 yards to UK's 5 and then for a 1-yard score. Marshall Morgan missed the extra point, but banged in a field goal on the last play of the first half to give UGA a 16-14 lead at the break. Kentucky’s Craig McIntosh hit a 37-yard field goal to start the second half, giving UK the lead before UGA got two touchdown passes from Murray to go up 29-17. UK made it close late, getting a touchdown run by Sanders with 3:59 to go, but the Wildcats got the ball back in the closing seconds for only one play.

10 >> VANDERBILT 40, KENTUCKY 0 // 11/3/12

issouri got touchdowns off three Kentucky fumbles while MU quarterback James Franklin, who didn’t start the game, presided over a strong finish in a reserve role coming off a knee injury as the Tigers defeated the Wildcats 33-10 at Faurot Field. Kendial Lawrence ran for 108 yards on 23 carries with two touchdowns for Missouri, who had three turnovers in the game. Kentucky recovered a fumbled punt and Corbin Berkstresser was intercepted on consecutive passes by UK freshman J.D. Harmon to start the second half before getting replaced by Franklin, who missed most of the previous two games with a strained left knee. UK had an impressive drive to start the game, driving to the Missouri 13 before a fumble switched momentum. After the fumble was returned 60 yards to the UK 25, Missouri pounded the ball into the endzone four plays later to take the 7-0 lead. The ensuing kickoff was returned 50 yards by Raymond Sanders, who then scored on a 1-yard run to tie the game at 7-7. Both teams exchanged field goals before Missouri scored a late second quarter touchdown to go into the locker room at halftime up 17-10. The game was still up for grabs, with Missouri leading 17-10 midway through the third quarter, when Franklin got the call. The junior was a steadying influence and Missouri’s defense made the key plays late. Zavier Gooden recovered a fumble at the Kentucky 12 to set up a 9-yard run by Marcus Murphy to give MU a 26-10 lead. Mizzou then clinched the win when E.J. Gaines skirted the sideline on a 13yard return off a Wildcat fumble for a 33-10 cushion with 8:45 to go. UK forced a season-high three turnovers in the game, including the two interceptions by Harmon. Linebakcer Avery Williamson tied a career high with 14 tackles, including a quarterback sack and a pass breakup. UK’s three fumbles lost came after having not lost a fumble since the season opener at Louisville.

uarterback Jordan Rodgers completed 18 of 29 passes for 220 yards, two touchdowns and one interception, and three different Commodores running backs scored rushing touchdowns, as Vanderbilt defeated Kentucky 40-0 in Commonwealth Stadium. Rodgers drove Vanderbilt 71 yards on 11 plays to begin the game, ending with a 34-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Matthews on a fourth-down play. Kentucky responded with a drive to the VU 33-yard line but a 50-yard field goal try was missed. VU scored on three of its next four possessions to take a 27-0 lead into halftime. Vanderbilt opened the second half with a touchdown drive to make it 34-0 and Casey Spear added a pair of fourth-quarter field goals for the final tallies. Kentucky had three scoring opportunities in the second half, as a fumble recovery by Khalid Henderson, an interception by Ashely Lowery and an offensive drive put the Wildcats into Vanderbilt territory. However, the possessions ended at the VU 26-, 5-, and 33-yard lines as UK was stopped on downs. The top Cat of the day was middle linebacker Avery Williamson, who had a career-high 20 tackles. He was the first Wildcat to reach 20 tackles since Chad Anderson had 21 stops vs. Georgia in 2003. Williamson also caused the fumble that was recovered by Henderson. Lowery had a career-high nine tackles to go along with his interception and linebacker Bud Dupree had nine stops, including a tackle for loss.

11 >> KENTUCKY 34, SAMFORD 3 // 11/17/12

12 >> TENNESSEE 37, KENTUCKY 17 // 11/24/12

reshman quarterback Jalen Whitlow passed for one touchdown and ran for another while junior tailback Raymond Sanders rushed for a career-high 123 yards and a touchdown as Kentucky posted a dominating 34-3 Senior Day victory over Samford. Whitlow performed well in the game, completing 10 of 13 passes for 66 yards. The true freshman started the game by moving UK down the field on a beautiful 14-play, 69-yard drive for a touchdown that included two third-down conversions and a fourth-down conversion. The payoff came on an 11-yard TD pass to senior wide receiver Gene McCaskill. Whitlow then gave UK a 14-0 lead when he rushed for a 20-yard touchdown, ending a 78-yard, 12-play march. Whitlow finished with 59 yards on seven carries. After the teams exchanged field goals to make the score 17-3, Kentucky struck twice in the final two minutes of the half to put the game firmly in hand. After forcing a short punt and taking over at the Samford 33-yard line, Sanders capped a four-play drive by rushing untouched for a 14-yard touchdown. On Samford’s ensuing possession, UK defensive tackle Donte Rumph sacked the quarterback, causing a fumble that fellow defensive tackle Tristian Johnson scooped and scampered 25 yards for a touchdown to give UK a 31-3 lead at halftime. Kentucky, which scored on six of its first eight drives, outgained Samford 455102, including 342 rushing yards. Dyshawn Mobley rushed for 82 yards on 16 carries and Jonathan George added 76 on 17 attempts. Craig McIntosh kicked field goals of 35 and 43 yards as Kentucky won its third straight home finale for the first time since winning nine in a row from 1952-60. True freshman quarterback Patrick Towles also played well in the game, completing four of six passes for 47 yards and directing one TD drive. UK’s defense posted a season-high five sacks while totaling eight tackles for loss. UK held Samford to 102 yards of total offense, including -2 rushing yards, both of which were the lowest offensive outputs by an opponent since the 1996 season. Junior linebacker Avery Williamson led the way for Kentucky with 13 tackles, marking his eighth double-figure tackle game of the season. With at least 13 tackles in fourconsecutive games, he became the first Wildcat with 13+ tackles in four-straight games since Randy Holleran in 1990. Williamson and sophomore Bud Dupree each had two sacks in the game.

entucky completed 10 more passes, had a nine-plus minute advantage in the time of possession and won the rushing game battle against Tennessee, but UT quarterback Tyler Bray showed quick play-making ability, throwing four touchdown passes without an interception as Tennessee defeated Kentucky 37-17 at Neyland Stadium. Bray went 20-of-34 for 293 yards and threw touchdown passes to four different receivers. Bray threw a 21-yard TD to Zach Rogers and a 42-yarder to Hunter in the first half to help the Volunteers grab a 20-7 advantage. Kentucky responded when junior tailback Jonathan George busted a career-long 45-yard touchdown run to cut the lead to 20-14. The Wildcats put a drive together to try to take the lead before the half, but the drive stalled inside the UT 20-yard line and Craig McIntosh missed a field goal. McIntosh redeemed himself on the opening drive of the season half, drilling a 29-yarder to cut the lead to 20-17. But that would the last points of the day for the Wildcats, as Bray answered with a 29-yard touchdown pass to Mychal Rivera and a 21-yarder to Cordarrelle Patterson in the third quarter to give the Volunteers a cushion. True freshman quarterback Jalen Whitlow played well in the game, completing a career-high 29 passes on 45 attempts for a career-best 225 yards and a touchdown. George led UK in rushing with 59 yards on eight carries, while Raymond Sanders added 54 yards and Whitlow 31 to help UK outrush Tennessee 167-164. Senior wide receiver La’Rod King caught 10 passes for 78 yards to led UK in receiving. Sophomore linebacker Bud Dupree had a career game for the Wildcats with a team-high 10 tackles, including a sack and three tackles for loss.

Kentucky improved in 1984, finishing with a 9-3 record which included a thrilling 20-19 win over Wisconsin in the ’84 Hall of Fame Bowl. Claiborne won 41 games during his eight seasons with the Wildcats. Claiborne and Bryant are the only two UK coaches to win at least five games in seven consecutive seasons. During Claiborne’s tenure, Kentucky captured the 1989 CFA Academic Achievement Award. UK led the SEC in SEC Academic Honor Roll selections (68) during the Claiborne era, including a then-league record of 17 players named to the 1989 honor roll.

highest single-game total in NCAA history. The arrival of Coach Hal Mumme in 1997 unleashed a lightning bolt of enthusiasm for Kentucky football. Mumme’s dynamic “Air Raid” offense put UK among the national leaders in passing yardage and total offense and the ’97 team broke or tied 51 school records and 15 Southeastern Conference records. Kentucky returned to the bowl scene in 1998 when the Wildcats won seven games. Quarterback Tim Couch was a first-team All-American, SEC Player of the Year, and a finalist for the Heisman Trophy while rewriting NCAA, SEC, and UK

Coach Bear Bryant (left inset) guided Kentucky to eight consecutive winning seasons and four bowl games from 1946-53. Other legendary UK football names include Art Still, who earned consensus first-team All-America honors at defensive end in 1977 and All-America quarterback Tim Couch (right inset), who led Kentucky to its first New Year’s Day Bowl appearance in 47 years in the 1999 Outback Bowl.

Individually, quarterback Bill Ransdell played under Claiborne and left as UK’s alltime leader in passing and total offense. Mark Higgs departed as the school’s second-leading rusher and tackle Oliver Barnett set a UK record with 26 quarterback sacks. After Claiborne’s retirement, Bill Curry took over as head coach in 1990. The highlight of Curry’s term came in 1993 as the Wildcats played in the Peach Bowl. In 1994, the Wildcats faced intrastate rival Louisville for the first time in 70 years and defeated the Cardinals 20-14 in front of a then-record 59,162 fans in Commonwealth Stadium. The 1995 season was highlighted by tailback Moe Williams, who rushed for 1,600 yards, broke three SEC records, and broke or tied 15 school records. Williams had 429 all-purpose yards in a win at South Carolina, the second-

record books. Wide receiver Craig Yeast became the leading pass catcher in SEC history. The Wildcats capped their season by playing Penn State in the Outback Bowl, the school’s first New Year’s Day bowl game in 47 years. Following the Outback Bowl season, Commonwealth Stadium was expanded. UK enclosed both end zones and added personal suites in time for the 1999 season, boosting seating capacity to 67,606. The Wildcats celebrated the stadium expansion with another bowl season. All-America tight end James Whalen helped lead UK to the 1999 HomePoint.com Music City Bowl, marking the school’s first back-to-back bowl appearances since 1983-84. Guy Morriss coached the Wildcats in 200102. He guided UK to seven wins in '02, but the Wildcats could not go to a bowl game because of NCAA probation. Derek Abney returned six

HISTORY & TRADITION

Blanton Collier had the task of following in Bryant’s footsteps. He stayed eight years at UK as well, etching a 41-36-3 record from 1954 to 1961. Kentuckians best remember Collier for his 5-2-1 record against arch-rival Tennessee. He coached All-Americans Lou Michaels (1957-58) and Howard Schnellenberger (1955) at UK. Charlie Bradshaw became the head mentor at UK in time for the 1962 season. Bradshaw, a UK graduate who lettered four years (1946-49), managed only a 25-41-4 record in seven seasons. One highlight of his term at UK came in 1964, a 27-21 upset of No. 1-ranked Ole Miss in Jackson, Miss. John Ray entered the scene in 1969 as head coach. In four years, Ray was 10-33. His biggest win came during his first year as Kentucky again victimized Ole Miss and Archie Manning. The Cats upset the Rebels, 10-9, in Lexington. The Fran Curci era began in 1973, the same year Kentucky moved from ancient Stoll Field/McLean Stadium to spacious Commonwealth Stadium. Though Curci had only one winning campaign during his first three years, things got interesting beginning with the 1976 season. UK ended the ’76 year with an 8-3 record and its second SEC championship. Kentucky helped secure its second league title on the strength of a 62-yard touchdown pass from Derrick Ramsey to Greg Woods to beat Tennessee, 7-0, at Knoxville, Tenn. The victory clinched a berth in the Peach Bowl against North Carolina, UK’s first postseason appearance in 25 years. Before a UK contingent estimated at 25,000, the Cats blanked the Tar Heels, 21-0. The following year, Kentucky went on NCAA probation. Despite an early season loss at Baylor, the Wildcats rolled to an impressive 10-1 record doing it the hard way. Kentucky defeated Penn State (24-20) in University Park, Pa., defeated LSU (33-13) in Baton Rouge, La., blanked Georgia (33-0) in Athens, Ga., and beat Florida (14-7) in Gainesville, Fla. In the Curci era, players like Sonny Collins (UK career leader with 3,835 yards rushing), AllAmericans Warren Bryant and Art Still and multitalented Derrick Ramsey, wore the blue and white. In all, Curci worked nine years, the longest term of any UK head coach. Jerry Claiborne answered the call of his alma mater in December of 1981 and was named the school’s 31st head football coach. Claiborne had played at UK from 1946-49 and was an assistant coach under Bryant at UK in 1952-53. After an 0-10-1 mark in Claiborne’s first season, his 1983 squad tied for the nation’s most improved program with a regular-season record of 6-4-1 and a berth in the Hall of Fame Bowl.

kicks for touchdowns, more than any player in one season in NCAA history, and was named first-team All-America along with punter Glenn Pakulak. Pakulak emerged as the best punter in school history and won the Mosi Tatupu Award as National Special Teams Player of the Year. Inheriting a roster weakened by probation was the major obstacle for Rich Brooks when he took over as head coach in 2003. Brooks’ rebuilding efforts began bearing fruit in 2006. The Wildcats had their best season in 22 years by winning eight games, including a 28-20 upset of highly favored Clemson in the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl. Led by quarterback Andre’ Woodson, tailback Rafael Little, wide receiver Keenan Burton, tight end Jacob Tamme and linebacker Wesley Woodyard, the 2007 season contained some of the most exciting moments in school history. UK notched its first win over a Top-10 opponent in 30 years with a dramatic comeback victory over No. 9 Louisville. UK reached the Top-10 rankings for the first time since 1977 and the popular “ESPN GameDay” crew made its first visit to campus. UK also knocked off No. 1-ranked LSU

-- the eventual national champion -- with a 43-37 triple-overtime thriller. The campaign was capped with another Music City Bowl win, this time over traditional power Florida State. Kentucky capped the 2008 season with a win over East Carolina in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl, the first time in school history that UK won bowl games in three consecutive seasons. The momentum continued with a schoolrecord streak of five-straight bowl games. Coach Rich Brooks retired following the 2009 campaign, handing the reins to former Wildcat player and long-time assistant coach Joker Phillips. Sparked by All-America receiver Randall Cobb, Phillips became the first head coach in UK history to take the Wildcats to a bowl game in his first season. Another highlight of Phillips’ term was ending the 26-year losing streak vs. Tennessee with a 10-7 win over the Volunteers. A new era of Kentucky fooball begins in 2013 with the hiring of Mark Stoops as head coach. Fan reaction was immediately positive as evidenced by the school-record 50,831 fans that came to the new coach’s first Blue/White Spring Game.

Former Wildcat and sven-time NFL All-Pro center Dermontti Dawson was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2012.

WILDCAT TRADITIONS & LEGENDS elow is a closer look at some of the traditions and history which has molded the past 122 seasons of Kentucky football. Some of the anecdotes were derived from the book, “The Wildcats,” which was written by former UK Sports Information Director Russell Rice.

UK CHEERLEADERS 19-TIME NATIONAL CHAMPIONS

CFA ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

The Kentucky cheerleading squad won an unprecedented 19th national cheerleading championship in 2012 at the competition sponsored by the Universal Cheerleaders Association. The cheerleaders have won the UCA national title in 1985, 1987, 1988, 1992, 1995-2002, 2004-06, 2008-10 and 2012. They have been the runners-up on six occasions. Jomo Thompson is coach of the cheerleaders and T. Lynn Williamson is the cheerleader advisor. A total of 40 students comprise the squad, 16 of whom represent the school at the championship.

The University of Kentucky became the first Southeastern Conference institution to win the College Football Association Academic Achievement Award after claiming the prestigious honor in 1989. The Academic Achievement Award is given to the CFA institution with the highest graduation rate of its football program based on a five-year period. UK had graduated 90 percent (18 of 20) of its incoming freshman signee class of 1983, thus earning the honor in May, 1989. A year earlier (1988), UK finished second with a graduation rate of 90.5 percent. Kentucky earned honorable mention honors in 1988, ’91, ’93, ’94 and 2010, for having graduated better than 70 percent of its incoming freshman class.

After lettering three years (1946-49) as a player and serving two seasons (1952-53) as an assistant coach at Kentucky, Jerry Claiborne returned to his alma mater in 1982 as UK’s 31st head football coach. Claiborne stepped down after 28 years as a collegiate head coach in 1989. He led the Wildcats to two bowls and four non-losing seasons. During his era, Kentucky placed more players (68) on the SEC Academic Honor Roll than any league school, including a then-record 17 in 1989. Claiborne also led UK to a national academic title by capturing the 1989 CFA Academic Achievement Award. His eight-year UK record was 41-46-3. Overall, Claiborne finished 21st among Division I coaches with 179 career victories and 179-122-8 in all games. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in Aug. 2000.

BLANTON COLLIER AND THE STAFF

Bear Bryant’s Sugar Bowl champion Wildcats earned the 1950 national title, according to the Sagarin computer ratings.

FRAN CURCI

Blanton Collier had the challenge of following Paul Bryant as head football coach at the University of Kentucky. But, Collier posted a fine 41-36-3 record in eight seasons at UK. Kentuckians best remember Collier for his record against arch-rival Tennessee which stood at 5 wins, 2 losses, and 1 tie. Standouts such as Howard Schnellenberger, Lou Michaels, Tom Hutchinson, Bobby Cravens, Calvin Bird and Irv Goode played under Collier. One fascinating item in Collier’s tenure was the football coaching staff he assembled in 1959. The 1959 UK staff included Collier, Ed Rutledge, Howard Schnellenberger, Ermal Allen, Don Shula, John North, Bob Cummings and Bill Arnsparger.

The Fran Curci era (1973-81) was one of ups and downs at the University of Kentucky. Curci remained at UK for nine seasons, the longest tenure of any UK football coach, and posted a 47-51-2 record. The ups consisted of sharing the 1976 Southeastern Conference title with Georgia, a 21-0 blanking of North Carolina in the ’76 Peach Bowl, and a 1977 squad which boasted a 10-1 record and No. 5 national ranking. The down was probation which forced the ’77 squad to miss a certain bowl invitation.

DIGIURO SCHOLARSHIP The Trent DiGiuro Memorial Scholarship was established in the autumn of 1994 in honor of the Wildcat offensive guard who died in July of that year. The scholarship is awarded each year to a walk-on football player who has completed his eligibility, maintained a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.5, and has exemplified the dedication, determination, hard work and leadership typified by Trent DiGiuro. If there is no suitable walk-on candidate that year, the scholarship will go to a team manager or trainer who meets the above criteria. The scholarship was established by DiGiuro’s family and friends. The 2013 winner of the scholarship is athletic trainer Thomas Kidd.

FORWARD PASS The first forward pass attempted by a University of Kentucky football player was thrown on Oct. 13, 1906, by quarterback Earl Stone as the Wildcats faced Eminence Athletic Club. This was the first year the forward pass was legalized by national rules. Accounts from this early contest do not indicate if the first forward UK pass was completed.

The goalposts came down after UK's 1997 overtime win against Alabama.

GOALPOSTS

MINUS NINETY-THREE

The Commonwealth Stadium goalposts have been torn down twice since the stadium opened in 1973. They were first toppled on Oct. 4, 1997, following Kentucky's 40-34 overtime win vs. Alabama. It was Kentucky's first victory against the Crimson Tide in 75 years, prompting the UK student body to storm the field. "If I weren't so old, I'd have torn them down myself," said then-UK Athletics Director C. M. Newton. It happened again on Nov. 4, 2006, after the Wildcats’ dramatic 24-20 triumph over Georgia. It was UK’s first win over the Bulldogs in 10 years and the crowd brought down the east goalpost. Citing safety concerns, UK has installed collapsible goalposts, which will prevent repeats of the popular -- but potentially dangerous -celebration ritual.

The University of Kentucky holds the Southeastern Conference record for fewest yards allowed rushing in a single game. Kentucky limited Kansas State to minus-93 yards on the ground as UK defeated Kansas State, 16-3, on Sept. 19, 1970, in Lexington. Kentucky defenders sacked KSU quarterbacks Lynn Dickey (2) and Max Arreguin (5) seven times while intercepting three of their passes. Ironically, KSU outgained UK in total offense 214-107 as Dickey and Arreguin combined for 307 yards in the air.

GOVERNOR’S CUP The Governor’s Cup was created in 1994 as the trophy for the winner of the KentuckyLouisville game. Donated by Kroger at a cost of $23,000, the Governor’s Cup stands 33 inches tall and weighs 110 pounds. The trophy’s base and upright columns are handmilled black marble. The glass components are comprised of Optic grade crystal. All metal parts are 23-karat, gold-plated brass. The cup itself is solid pewter with a 23-karat gold-plated finish. The Governor’s Cup was designed by Kendall Costner and sculpted by James Corcoran of Bruce Fox, Inc. The UKU of L series was renewed in 1994 with the Wildcats winning the game, 20-14.

HOMECOMING GAMES

As is the case of most institutions, Homecoming football games are special. Kentucky is no exception. Alumni and old friends converge on the UK campus each fall for Homecoming Day, highlighted by a Kentucky football game. The first Homecoming Day occurred on Nov. 25, 1915, as Kentucky defeated Tennessee, 6-0. Though records are sketchy, Kentucky has hosted a Homecoming game every year since 1946 and owns a 47-20 record in those 67 contests.

THE IMMORTALS Simply known as “The Immortals,” the 1898 University of Kentucky football squad still remains as the only undefeated, untied, and unscored on Wildcats club in school history. The Immortals outscored opponents 180-0 while posting a perfect 7-0-0 record. Roscoe Severs served as team captain under coach W.R.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONS Kentucky is the 1950 national champion, according to Jeff Sagarin, who handles computer rankings for USA Today. Sagarin, who has generated computer ratings since the 1970s, has reconstructed earlier seasons and his computer rates the Wildcats as tops for the 1950 campaign. At the time, the national champs were crowned after the regular season but before the bowl games. UK finished the regular season with a 10-1 record and No. 7 ranking before knocking off No. 1 Oklahoma, 13-7, in the Sugar Bowl. Four teams can lay claim to the 1950 title, according to the official NCAA record book. Six selectors went with Oklahoma (final record 101), six picked Tennessee (11-1), two chose Princeton (9-0), and one – the Sagarin ratings – named Kentucky (11-1).

In 1965, Nat Northington became the first African-American football player to sign with an SEC school.

Bass. The closest of all seven games was a 6-0 victory over Centre College.

CAWOOD LEDFORD The legendary “Voice of the Wildcats” was none other than Cawood Ledford. For 39 years, Cawood called Wildcats football and basketball. His voice alone symbolized UK Athletics. Cawood called his last UK football game vs. Tennessee on Nov. 23, 1991, and retired from the microphone following the 1991-92 basketball season.

MASCOTS

THE FIRST NIGHT GAME

The Wildcat mascot originated during the 1976-77 academic year at Kentucky. Gary Tanner was the original Wildcat, dancing and entertaining thousands of UK fans at Commonwealth Stadium and Rupp Arena during athletic events. Today, the Wildcat mascot also attends academic functions and generally serves as a friendly ambassador for the University. Scratch, another costumed mascot, was unveiled in August of 1996. During UK games, the Wildcat and Scratch entertain with enthusiastic dances and cheers. In the past, UK has had a live wildcat mascot that has resided in the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Salato Wildlife Center three miles west of Frankfort on US 60. The most recent live mascot was named “Blue.” Through the years, UK has had other official live mascots with colorful names. Records indicate that the first wild animal, named “Tom,” was given to the University in 1921. Other live mascots followed, including “TNT,” “Whiskers,” “Hot Tamale” and “Colonel.”

The University of Kentucky was one of the first institutions to play intercollegiate football at night. The first UK home night game was played on Oct. 5, 1929, at Stoll Field as Kentucky defeated Maryville, 40-0. Kentucky did not play more than one home night game per season until 1946.

NIGHT GAMES The University of Kentucky began holding its October home football games during the evening hours in 1949. UK and Keeneland Race Course, located in Lexington, have enjoyed a close relationship through the years and assist in giving UK faithful an opportunity to enjoy two of the Commonwealth’s best-loved events in October — football and horse racing. With the traditional post time at Keeneland for the thoroughbred races at 1:15 p.m., UK began moving its October home games to night during the 1949 season. The only occasion UK has not conducted its October home games in the evening is to accommodate live national or regional television.

OUTLAND TROPHY Two-time All-American Bob Gain is the only player in University of Kentucky football history to be awarded the Outland Trophy, signifying the best interior lineman in collegiate football. Gain was awarded the 1950 Outland Trophy after helping lead UK to its first Southeastern Conference title and a 10-1 regular-season record. Besides being the first UK player to claim the award, Gain was also the first SEC player to be given the award.

A pair of cousins named William Rodes played football for the University of Kentucky during the early 1900s. To distinguish one from the other, one was nicknamed “Red Doc” and the other “Black Doc.” William “Red Doc” Rodes lettered three years (1909, 11-12) as a 140pound halfback and defensive end. William “Black Doc” Rodes lettered two years (1915-16) as quarterback. Black Doc was considered by many to be one of the best open-field runners in that era. He also placekicked and personally delivered UK’s 6-0 victory over Tennessee in 1915 with field goals of 45 and 43 yards.

Since his retirement from UK, Rice has written a weekly historical column for The Cats’ Pause magazine and he continues to be a rich historical resource for the UK media relations office. He was inducted into the UK Athletics Hall of Fame in 2012.

Longtime UK sports information director Russell Rice is the unofficial historian when it comes to Wildcats football. Rice retired from the UK Athletics Department in 1989 after serving 18 years as sports information director. He came to UK in 1967 as assistant SID, then was named sports information director in 1969. Rice authored the book, “The Wildcats,” which details Kentucky football and its history. At his

When Blanton Collier stepped down as head football coach at Kentucky following the 1961 season, UK promptly named former Wildcats player Charlie Bradshaw as its 28th coach. Bradshaw inherited a squad of 88 players left from Collier’s 5-5-0 team in ’61. Bradshaw promised his new UK squad hard work and talked of training to an absolute peak of condition. His conditioning tactics took their toll as more than 50 players left the squad, leaving 30 to open the season against Florida State and prompting the name “Thin Thirty.” The Thin Thirty finished 3-5-2 with victories over Detroit (27-8), Vanderbilt (7-0) and arch-rival Tennessee (12-10). The ties were against Florida State (0-0) and Georgia (7-7).

That’s right, Prince Charles’ first football game was the UK-Georgia matchup at Athens. Prince Charles was introduced to UK Coach Fran Curci and All-American Art Still at halftime. After looking at the 6-6 Still, Prince Charles said, “You’re a tall one aren’t you?” Still and Co. blanked the Bulldogs on this day, 33-0, on their way to a 10-1 record.

The University Board of Trustees voted to name the playing field “Stoll Field” and the actual grandstand structures as “McLean Stadium,” thus the often confusing double names. Stoll Field was named in honor of the late Judge Richard C. Stoll, a prominent alumnus, trustee and benefactor of UK. Stoll Field was dedicated on Oct. 14, 1916. McLean Stadium was dedicated on Nov. 1, 1924, in memory of Price Innes McLean, a regular center on the 1923 UK squad who died as a result of injuries sustained in the KentuckyCincinnati game on Nov. 6, 1923. The final seating capacity of Stoll Field/McLean Stadium was 37,000 during its last year of use, 1972.

Nat Northington of Louisville became the first black player to sign with the University of Kentucky and a Southeastern Conference institution. Northington signed a national letter-of-intent with UK in December of 1965.

WINNING STREAK Kentucky ended one of the longest winning streaks in college football history when the Wildcats faced Oklahoma in the 1951 Sugar Bowl. Kentucky was coming off its first Southeastern Conference title and brought in a 10-1 record. Oklahoma entered as national champions and riding a 31-game winning streak. A pair of Wilbur Jamerson scores - a 22-yard pass from Babe Parilli and a one-yard run - was all UK needed in picking up a 13-7 upset of the Sooners. At the time, the 31-game winning streak was the fifth-longest in NCAA history and today it still ranks as the ninth-longest in NCAA history.

THE YEAR (1977-78) Perhaps the most successful year in UK Athletics occurred during the 1977-78 academic year at the University of Kentucky. The 1977 Wildcats football squad, under Fran Curci, raced to a 10-1 record and ended the year ranked No. 5 by The Sporting News. Highlights were victories over North Carolina (10-7), West Virginia (28-13), Penn State (24-20), LSU (33-13), Georgia (33-0), Florida (14-7) and Tennessee (21-17). On the basketball side, UK wrapped up its fifth NCAA title by defeating Duke, 94-88, at St. Louis. The UK basketballers ended the campaign with a 30-2 record under Joe B. Hall.

An argument to the most successful year in UK Athletics is the 1950-51 academic year. UK football, under Paul Bryant, ended the 1950 regular season with a 10-1 record and ranked No. 7 nationally by both A.P. and U.P.I. The Wildcats then proceeded to snap national champion Oklahoma’s 31-game winning streak with a 13-7 victory in the Sugar Bowl. Kentucky has been named national champion for the 1950 season by the Sagarin Ratings. On the basketball front, Adolph Rupp gave UK its third national title by defeating Kansas State, 68-58, at Minneapolis, Minn. The Wildcats ended the year 32-2.

JIM BROWN f it has to do with Kentucky football, Jim Brown has seen it all. When the 94year-old Brown began attending UK football games, Franklin D. Roosevelt was president, bread cost a few cents a loaf, and Bear Bryant was just a cub. With one exception we’ll get to later, Brown was present for every UK home football game from 1938 until his streak ended during the 2009 season -- a total of 412 home games. “I’m all for Kentucky football,” Brown said. “I liked football from an early age, when I was a little kid in Western Kentucky. Football was the big thing in the 1920s and I followed UK in the sports pages.” Brown’s streak began in 1938 when he enrolled as a UK freshman. A standout halfback in high school, he had hoped to play for the Wildcats, but was unable to try out for the team because he had to work his way through school. That didn’t stop him from going to the games. In fact, it took a world war to separate Brown from Kentucky football. “I was in a race with Uncle Sam to graduate before I got inducted into the service,” Brown said. “I graduated in 1942 and got sent to Wright Field in Dayton. You couldn’t get gasoline, and I didn’t have a car anyway, so I caught the train from Dayton to Cincinnati to Lexington to see the games that season. I didn’t miss any games in 1943 because, like a lot of schools, UK didn’t field a team that year.” World War II finally got bigger than Kentucky football in 1944. Brown was a navigator/bombardier on a B-25 in Asia, part of a squadron called the “Burma Bridge Busters,” definitely too far for a weekend excursion to catch the Cats. But he was discharged just in time for the 1945 season, and he didn’t miss a home game for 64 straight seasons. (An interesting side note is that the “Burma Bridge Busters” were the subject of a 2003 documentary by the History Channel. Brown was one of the members of the squadron who was interviewed and featured in the documentary.) A member of what has become known as “The Greatest Generation,” Brown helped build America – literally. He was involved with the construction business, a lumber company, and in real estate. Even his marriage had a tie to Kentucky

football. He married Caroline Rodes, daughter of William “Black Doc” Rodes, a UK football star in 1914-16. The Browns didn’t always live in Lexington but all the while he kept turning out to see his favorite team. “I always worked on Saturday mornings (at the lumber company). I left a lot of people standing in the store, saying ‘I have to go to Lexington,’” Brown recalled with a laugh. “I wasn’t trying to set a record. It just happened.” Brown’s favorite gridiron memories involve the 1949-50-51 teams that played in the Orange, Sugar and Cotton Bowls, along with the mid-1970s teams that won an SEC championship and a Peach Bowl. “People who go back that far feel that our 1950 team probably was our best,” said Brown, referring to the Wildcat squad that is the 1950 national champion, according to the Sagarin computer ratings. “(Quarterback) Babe Parilli was as good at deception as anyone I’ve ever seen. I was in a game in Atlanta against Georgia Tech, and a Tech fan was sitting beside me. He said, ‘It looks like Parilli is shaking hands with everybody in the backfield before he hands the ball off.’ “That bunch in 1977 was probably the second-best team we’ve had,” Brown continued. “They had a lot of terrific athletes, especially (future NFL stars) Art Still and Derrick Ramsey.” As much as he enjoys talking about the past, Brown is just as excited about the present and future. After 52 years of marriage, wife Caroline passed away in 1999. He married again in 2002, and new wife Mary Anne Goodson Brown also is a UK grad. Brown is happy with the progress made at the University. “We’re going in the right direction with the new AD (Mitch Barnhart) ... The whole university is charting an exciting course.” Brown’s streak finally came to an end when an illness forced him to miss the Alabama game in 2009. However, he continues to go Kentucky games. And, he’s a model of faithfulness in more than football. He has a 47-year streak of perfect attendance at the Lexington Rotary Club. He’s also a pillar of Crestwood Christian Church, where he is an elder emeritus. Asked about his consistency, Brown replied in what must be the understatement of the year. “I’ve always had a tendency to be loyal,” he said.

Bobby Brooks added the PAT to make it 7-0. Kentucky wasted a golden scoring opportunity late in the second quarter when Babe Parilli found Bill Leskovar for a 45yard completion to the SC 3 with time running out. Leskovar and runningmate Don Phelps each were stopped short on their respective rush attempts and the clock ran out before UK could score. The Wildcats led 7-0 at halftime. UK coach Paul “Bear” Bryant said afterward he should have sent in a pass play just before the half. “If it failed,” he said, “the clock was killed then we could have tried a field goal.” A short 9-yard punt by Phelps set up Santa Clara’s first score in the third quarter. After taking over on the SC 46, Bronco quarterback John Pasco hit Larry Williams on a 25-yard pass. Santa Clara eventually scored on a 1-yard sneak by Pasco to tie the game, 7-7.

1951 • SUGAR BOWL // KENTUCKY 13, OKLAHOMA 7 entucky arrived on the national football scene and stunned national champion Oklahoma, 13-7, to capture the 1951 Sugar Bowl before 82,000 in New Orleans. The Wildcats, 11-1, displayed a tough defense and opportunistic offense in snapping Oklahoma’s 31-game winning streak, the longest in the nation at that time. More than 13,000 Kentucky fans made the long trip to New Orleans to watch the Southeastern Conference champions pick up their school record 11th win. Under the direction of coach Paul “Bear” Bryant, Kentucky continually confused the favored Sooners with different defensive looks. The Wildcats used three tackles much of the time, causing OU quarterback Claude Arnold to hasten his playmaking. Inflicting the most damage on the Sooners was Walt Yowarsky, a tackle who had played less than five minutes on the defensive side of the football in 1950. Yowarsky operated at left end, next to Outland Trophy winner Bob Gain, and repeatedly sliced into the Sooner backfield to break up passes and to make Arnold hurry his handoffs and laterals. Yowarsky recovered a fumble on the OU 22 that set up UK’s first touchdown. On the very next play, Babe Parilli hit Wilbur Jamerson in the right corner of the end zone for the touchdown. Gain added the PAT to make it 7-0 in the first quarter. Kentucky marched 81 yards in the second quarter to go up 13-0. Jamerson dove over from the one to cap the drive, but Gain missed wide on the PAT.

The Sooners drove 67 yards with the second-half kickoff, sitting at the UK 3 with a first-and-goal. Yowarsky helped UK turn back the Sooners, throwing an OU runner for a 5-yard loss on third down and Oklahoma eventually turned the ball over on downs.

1983 • HALL OF FAME BOWL // WEST VIRGINIA 20, KENTUCKY 16

BOWL GAME RECORDS

entucky won much of the statistical battle but lost the war in dropping a tough 20-16 decision to the West Virginia Mountaineers in the 1983 Hall of Fame Bowl in Birmingham, Ala. The Wildcats, in a bowl for the first time since 1976, outgained West Virginia 306-288 in total offense and held the edge in first downs 19-18 and passing yards 216-88. But 17 second-half points by West Virginia were too much for the Wildcats to overcome. WVU scratched first as placekicker Paul Woodside connected on a 39-yard field goal late in the first quarter. Kentucky countered with 10 points in the second stanza to take a 10-3 lead at halftime. The Wildcats marched 54 yards in eight plays for their first score. Facing a third-and-three from the Mountaineers’ 26, Kentucky used some razzle-dazzle as Tony Mayes swept right, then threw-back to quarterback Randy Jenkins in the left corner of the endzone for the TD. John Hutcherson added the PAT and UK led 7-3 with 10:59 left in the second period. Jenkins hit two big passes late in the second quarter to help set up a 32-yard field goal by Hutcherson. Jenkins connected with Joe Phillips for a 19-yard pass play and then hit George Adams for a 14-yarder as Hutcherson connected with 38 seconds left in the half. WVU kicker Paul Woodside fooled everyone to begin the second half. Woodside tried an on-side kick to start the half and then recovered it to give the Mountaineers the football at the UK 48. Eight plays later, QB Jeff Hostetler found Rich Hollins for a 16-yard TD strike. Woodside added the PAT and it was 10-10 with 11:10 left in the third quarter. West Virginia scored twice in a span of two minutes early in the fourth quarter to take a commanding 20-10 lead. Hostetler capped off a 10-play, 81-yard drive with a 2-yard scoring toss to Rob Bennett to make it 17-10 with 11:15 left to play. Two plays later, West Virginia took over after an interception of a Jenkins pass at the UK 16. The SCORING S U M M A R Y interception set up a 23-yard field goal by Woodside as the W.

entucky’s Joey Worley booted a career-long 52-yard field goal with just under nine minutes remaining to give the Wildcats a thrilling 20-19 victory over the Wisconsin Badgers in the 1984 Hall of Fame Bowl in Birmingham, Ala. Worley, a freshman, helped Kentucky overcome a nine-point deficit in the second half with his school and bowl record field goal. Wisconsin jumped on top early, scoring twice in the first quarter. Todd Gregoire nailed a 40-yard field goal just under four minutes into the game and Michael Howard hit Thad McFadden with a 3-yard TD pass. Gregoire added the PAT and the Badgers led 10-0 with 5:34 left in the opening period. Gregoire added another field goal, this one from 27 yards, to make it 13-0 with 7:05 left in the second period. Kentucky got on the board after safety Paul Calhoun intercepted a Howard pass to give UK possession at the Badger 42. It took Kentucky just five plays to score as Marc Logan went over from nine yards. Worley added the PAT to cut the deficit to 13-7 with 1:29 left in the half. Wisconsin was not through. The Badgers used four running plays, two passes and a costly 15-yard penalty to move the football to the UK 3 with two seconds left in the half. From there, Wisconsin decided on a Gregoire field goal (20yarder) to take a 16-7 edge at halftime. Kentucky narrowed the gap to 16-10 on a 22-yard field goal by Worley with 11:28 left in the third quarter. But Gregoire responded with a 40-yarder two minutes later to move the count back to nine, 19-10. Behind UK quarterback Bill Ransdell, the Wildcats marched 82 yards in 11 plays later in the quarter to get within two, 19-17. Ransdell hit Logan on a screen pass to cover the final 27 yards and with the Worley PAT, UK was back in it with 26 seconds left in the third quarter. The next time Kentucky got the ball, Ransdell moved the SCORING S U M M A R Y Cats into position for Worley’s 52-yarder.

1993 • PEACH BOWL // CLEMSON 14, KENTUCKY 13 he Wildcats met the 24th-ranked Clemson Tigers in the 26th annual Peach Bowl and came within one minute of winning their sixth bowl in eight tries. But a Clemson TD in the closing seconds sent UK home with a 14-13 loss. Kentucky took the opening kickoff and marched down the field to the Clemson 2-yard line, where what appeared to be a QB Pookie Jones-to-WB Alfonzo Browning TD was instead a turnover when Browning fumbled the ball while attempting to extend it over the goal line. Clemson took over on its own one and proceeded to march 99 yards for the game’s first score, a 2-yard TD plunge by TB Emory Smith. The PAT gave the Tigers a 7-0 lead. Clemson ran the ball 15 times and attempted only three passes in the drive. Kentucky was stopped again at the 1-yard line before the Wildcats finally scored on Nicky Nickels’ 34-yard FG in the second period, making the score Clemson 7, Kentucky 3. UK captured the lead early in the fourth quarter when Jones hit WR Mark Chatmon with a 5-yard TD pass, making it UK 10, Clemson 7. Nickels added another FG, this one from 26 yards, to extend UK’s lead to 13-7. But after Dan Ariza’s 55-yard punt pinned the Tigers inside their own 18yard line, QB Patrick Sapp hit Smith with a 57-yard screen SCORING S U M M A R Y pass to move Clemson into scoring position. With less 7 0 0 7 — 14 CLEMSON KENTUCKY 0 3 0 10 — 13 than a minute remaining, LB Marty Moore intercepted a CU - Smith, 2 run (Welch PAT)-1Q Sapp pass, but fumbled it back, giving Clemson a second UK - Nickels, 34 FG-2Q chance. The Tigers capitalized when Sapp hit WR Henry UK - Chatmon, 5 pass from Jones (Nickels PAT)-4Q Smith with the game-winning 21-yard TD pass. Kentucky UK - Nickels 26 FG-4Q CU - Smith, 21 pass from Sapp (Welch PAT)-4Q got the ball back with less than 20 seconds remaining, but Attendance - 63,416 could move no farther than its own 40.

1999 • OUTBACK BOWL // PENN STATE 26, KENTUCKY 14 laying on New Year’s Day for the first time in 47 years, the Kentucky Wildcats jumped out to an early lead, but the Penn State Nittany Lions rallied for a 26-14 victory in the Outback Bowl in Tampa, Fla. Although the game was played in Tampa, the Wildcats certainly felt at home. Heavy ticket demand gave the Outback Bowl its first sellout ever, as more than 40,000 UK fans were packed among the 66,005 patrons in Raymond James Stadium. Kentucky got on the board first with 7:36 remaining in the first quarter. At the PSU 36-yard line, under heavy pressure, quarterback Tim Couch lofted a rainbow into the end zone that wide receiver Lance Mickelsen caught for a touchdown. Later in the opening period, UK stretched the lead to 14-3 with a 64-yard drive, capped by a 16-yard TD pass from Couch to halfback Anthony White. Key plays on the drive included a 22-yard pass from Couch to wide receiver Kevin Coleman and a 30-yard aerial to Mickelsen. From the second quarter, however, Penn State chipped away. Quarterback Kevin Thompson hit flanker Joe Nastasi with a 56-yard touchdown bomb. A second field goal from Travis Forney narrowed the UK advantage to 14-13 at halftime. The Nittany Lions took the lead for good in the third quarter on two more field goals by Forney, giving him four on the day. Penn State put the game away in the fourth quarter with a 19-yard end-around TD run by Chafie Fields. Meanwhile, the PSU defense shut out the Wildcats the last three quarters. Kentucky continued to move the ball, but three scoring opportunities came up empty - one on an interception, one on a missed field goal, and the other when the Wildcats were held on downs. Kentucky actually outgained Penn State, 441 yards to SCORING S U M M A R Y 420. UK might have done even better, but the Wildcats KENTUCKY 14 0 0 0 — 14 offensive line was missing three senior starters, all of whom PENN STATE 3 10 6 7 — 26 were replaced by freshmen.

1999 • HOMEPOINT.COM MUSIC CITY BOWL // SYRACUSE 20, KENTUCKY 13 laying in back-to-back bowl games for the first time since 1983-84, the Kentucky Wildcats went down to the wire before falling to Syracuse, 20-13, in the HomePoint.com Music City Bowl in Nashville, Tenn. Kentucky played before a heavily partisan crowd, as almost all of the 59,221 fans were pulling for the Wildcats. Kentucky blazed to a 10-0 lead in the first quarter. The Wildcats took the opening kickoff and maneuvered 79 yards for a touchdown. Tight end James Whalen set up the TD with a 45-yard reception and Kendrick Shanklin ran it in from the 3-yard line. The Wildcats held on defense, forcing a punt. Quarterback Dusty Bonner again drove the Wildcats inside the 10-yard line before settling for a 22-yard field goal by Marc Samuel. Whalen, however, was injured during the series and was lost for the remainder of the game. Already having caught four passes for 79 yards midway through the first quarter, his presence was sorely missed. The Kentucky defense continued to stop Syracuse, including two fumble recoveries and a blocked field goal, but the Orangemen got on the board late in the second quarter. The Wildcats led at halftime, 10-7. A scoreless third quarter led to a dramatic final stanza. Samuel extended the UK lead to 13-7 with a 35-yard field goal. Syracuse countered with two scoring runs by James Mungro, taking a 20-13 lead. Kentucky got its last chance by taking over on its own 4-yard line with only 1:35 remaining and no timeouts. Bonner did a great job of moving the team to the Syracuse 41-yard line, but ran out of time, and a desperation heave on the game’s final play fell incomplete. Bonner led the UK attack by completing 30 of 43 passes for 308 yards and he also ran for 16 yards. In his final game as a Wildcat, running back Anthony White

2006 • GAYLORD HOTELS MUSIC CITY BOWL // KENTUCKY 28, CLEMSON 20 entucky quarterback André Woodson threw for 299 yards with three touchdowns and the Wildcats won their first bowl game in 22 years with a 28-20 victory over Clemson in front of a record 68,024 fans at the 2006 Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl in Nashville, Tenn. Woodson, the game’s Most Valuable Player, completed 20-of-28 passes and finished the season with 31 touchdown strikes, joining Tim Couch as the only Wildcats in school history to reach 30 TD tosses in a season. Woodson directed an offense that gave the Wildcats their sixth bowl win in school history by setting a UK record for most points scored in a bowl game. Kentucky, making its first postseason appearance since 1999, used some offensive wrinkles to score its first-half points. The Wildcats quickly got on the board with a one-yard run by Micah Johnson less than four minutes into the game. Johnson, normally a linebacker, was called upon in the short-yardage situation and the 270pounder bulldozed his way into the end zone for his first collegiate score. The Wildcat defense gave ground early, but Clemson stayed off the scoreboard after a pair of missed field goals. The Tigers finally tallied and came within one, 7-6, after a 32-yard pass by quarterback Will Proctor to Durrell Barry in the second quarter. From there, both teams combined for four turnovers on the next seven plays, but UK closed the half with another surprise maneuver. Facing fourth down and four yards to go from his own 20-yard line, Wildcat punter

Tim Masthay faked a punt and completed a 10-yard pass to Marcus McClinton for the first down. On the next play, Woodson followed with a 70-yard bomb to receiver DeMoreo Ford to go into the locker room up 14-6. Meanwhile, the Kentucky defense stiffened, stopping the Tigers on six consecutive possessions in the second and third quarters. The Wildcat offense took advantage, making it 21-6 early in the second half after a Clemson fumble. Woodson found wide receiver Dicky Lyons Jr. on a short sideline pass and Lyons took it the rest of the way for a 24-yard score. UK built its lead to 28-6 with a touchdown pass to tight end Jacob Tamme with 11:29 remaining in the game. Trading yardage for time, Kentucky gave up a pair of clock-eating scoring drives and clinched the victory when Tamme recovered an onside kick with less than a minute to go. That set off a wild celebration among the Wildcats and the 50,000-plus UK fans who packed LP Field.

2007 • GAYLORD HOTELS MUSIC CITY BOWL // KENTUCKY 35, FLORIDA STATE 28 t was a case of “Deja Blue” as Kentucky defeated perennial national power Florida State, 35-28, in the 2007 Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl. For the second consecutive year, the Wildcats claimed the Music City Bowl championship, quarterback Andre’ Woodson won the Most Valuable Player Award and a heavily blue-tinted record sellout crowd of 68,661 packed LP Field in Nashville, Tenn. Woodson capped his UK career in fine fashion, completing 32 of 50 passes for 358 yards and four touchdowns. And, as was typical of the season, a variety of players contributed to UK tallying its most points ever in a bowl game. Versatile tailback Rafael Little had one of his best games as a Wildcat, rushing for 152 yards while catching eight passes for 50 yards and a touchdown. Wide receiver Steve Johnson caught seven balls for 124 yards and two TDs. Not expected to participate because of a knee injury, determined wideout Keenan Burton played anyway and also snagged seven passes. Linebacker Wesley Woodyard checked in with his usual solid performance, a game-high 15 tackles. Kentucky struck quickly and never trailed. Safety Roger Williams blocked a punt on the first possession of the game and tight end Jacob Tamme got the Wildcats on the board with a 14-yard touchdown catch. However, a fumble near the FSU goal line and a missed field goal ruined other UK scoring chances and the teams were tied at 14 apiece at halftime. Like the year before, Kentucky took control in the third quarter. Woodson directed a pair of 80-yard touchdown drives, with Little scoring on a two-yard pass reception and tailback Tony Dixon running it home from four yards away.

UK made the score 35-21 in the fourth quarter on a 38-yard pass to Johnson, but just like the previous year, the opponent rallied late. FSU drove for a touchdown, got the ball back and was able to throw a bomb to the end zone on the game’s final play, but cornerback David Jones knocked down the pass to preserve the victory. The win marked some big milestones for the Kentucky football program. This was the first time since the 1950 and ‘51 seasons that the Wildcats notched bowl victories in consecutive years. It was the first time since 1976-77 that UK won eight games in back-to-back seasons.

2009 • AUTOZONE LIBERTY BOWL // KENTUCKY 25, EAST CAROLINA 19 efensive end Ventrell Jenkins scored the game-winning touchdown on a 56-yard fumble return as the Kentucky Wildcats defeated East Carolina 25-19 in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl and won their third-straight bowl game for the first time in school history. With the game tied at 19 and less than four minutes remaining, UK defensive tackle Myron Pryor knocked the ball away from an ECU running back. The 6-foot-2, 285-pound Jenkins scooped up the ball, stiff-armed a Pirate lineman, and thundered his way down the sideline towards the end zone. The senior from Columbia, S.C., pulled a double move on East Carolina quarterback Patrick Pinkney with a devastating stiff arm – knocking an earpad out of Pinkney’s helmet -- and a high step. Jenkins said the next thing he remembered was lying in the end zone with his teammates on top of him. Jenkins’ return capped a big Kentucky comeback. East Carolina led 16-3 at halftime, but senior cornerback David Jones gave a huge lift to the Wildcats by opening the second half with a 99-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. It set a record for the longest kickoff return in the 50-year history of the Liberty Bowl. Kentucky’s lone offensive touchdown came minutes after Jones’ kickoff return. Sophomore wide receiver Kyrus Lanxter caught a pass from quarterback Mike Hartline, broke a tackle, and made a nice inside move to avoid another defender and get into the end zone for a 19-yard touchdown reception. Lones Seiber’s extra point tied the game at 16 and the teams traded field goals before Jenkins’ game-winning fumble rumble. Following Jenkins’ TD, Kentucky got a huge break when East Carolina accidentally downed the kickoff on its own one-yard line. With the help of two pass breakups from freshman cornerback Randall Burden, who was subbing for injured All-American Trevard Lindley, the UK defense forced a punt. UK took over with 2:34 to play and senior tailback Tony Dixon clinched the victory with six straight running plays, grinding out two first downs to run out the clock. Dixon led all rushers with 89 yards on a career-high 28 carries. Hartline completed 19 of 31 passes for 204 yards

and a touchdown. Lanxter set career highs with five catches for 46 yards. Kentucky’s defense held up its end of the bargain with several big plays, totaling nine tackles for loss, three quarterback sacks, seven pass breakups and the game’s decisive touchdown. Senior linebacker Braxton Kelley made eight tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss and one sack. Defensive tackle Myron Pryor went out with a bang with a career-high seven tackles, one for loss, the caused fumble and a pass breakup. East Carolina took an early 10-0 lead in the first quarter after a Ben Hartman field goal and a 28-yard rushing touchdown by Brandon Simmons. Kentucky got on the board midway through the second quarter with a 21-yard field goal by Seiber, but 12 seconds later East Carolina increased its lead with an 80-yard touchdown pass from Pinkney to Darryl Freeney. That gave the Pirates a 16-3 lead at halftime and set the stage for UK’s second-half heroics. Jenkins was named the game’s overall Most Valuable player, while Hartline and Kelley were selected UK’s most outstanding offensive and defensive players, respectively. After all the bowl games were completed, Jones and Pryor were named to “All-Bowl Teams” by various college football websites in honor of their outstanding performances.

2009 • GAYLORD HOTELS MUSIC CITY BOWL // CLEMSON 21, KENTUCKY 13 he exciting duo of Derrick Locke and Randall Cobb combined for 224 all-purpose yards and senior Lones Seiber kicked two field goals, but Clemson downed the Kentucky 21-13 in what would turn out to be head coach Rich Brooks’ final game on the sidelines. Played at Nashville’s LP Field before a crowd of 57,280, the game was primarily dominated by the defenses. Kentucky gained 277 total yards and Clemson’s potent attack was limited to 321 total yards. Kentucky got on the board on its first possession of the game. True freshman quarterback Morgan Newton drove the Wildcats 61 yards, the final 17 on a touchdown pass to junior wide receiver Chris Matthews. Seiber provided the rest of the scoring for the Wildcats, booting field goals of 39 and 44 yards. Clemson, champion of the Atlantic Division of the Atlantic Coast Conference, gradually moved back into contention. The Tigers tied the score at 7-7 on a 32-yard touchdown pass from Kyle Parker to Jacoby Ford, then went ahead 14-10 at halftime with one-yard run by Jamie Harper. Trailing 14-13 to start the fourth quarter, the Wildcats forced a three-and-out and took over at their own 13-yard line. Newton completed a short pass, but Clemson linebacker Kavell Konnor forced the ball loose and the Tigers recovered the only turnover of the game. AllAmerica tailback C.J. Spiller scored three plays later as Clemson went up 21-13. Kentucky tried to battle back on the following possession, keeping the drive alive on a fourth-down conversion by punter Ryan Tydlacka. Four plays later, Newton came up inches short on a fourth-and-eight scramble, and the Wildcats turned the ball over on downs. Clemson was able to run out the remaining time on the clock.

Clemson:

Spiller, the ACC Player of the Year, was the game’s Most Valuable Player. Despite his gaudy numbers entering the game and Heisman-caliber resume, the Kentucky defense did a solid job on Spiller, allowing him just 67 rushing yards and one TD. Sophomore linebacker Danny Trevathan led the UK defense with eight tackles, including one for loss, and caused one fumble. Junior cornerback Paul Warford and senior linebacker Micah Johnson added five tackles each. The loss snapped Kentucky’s three-game bowl winning streak, the longest in school history. Following the game, Brooks announced he probably would step down as head coach and turn the headset over to offensive head coach, and selected coach-in-waiting, Joker Phillips. Brooks finalized the decision a week later. The game marked the second time in four seasons Kentucky played Clemson in the Music City Bowl. The Wildcats won the previous meeting in 2006, 28-20.

2010 • BBVA COMPASS BOWL // PITTSBURGH 27, KENTUCKY 10 n what would eventually be his final game as a Kentucky Wildcat, UK All-American Randall Cobb earned a game-high 204 all-purpose yards, breaking the Southeastern Conference single-season record as Kentucky fell 27-10 to Big East tri-champion Pittsburgh in the 2011 BBVA Compass Bowl. The bowl appearance was the school-record fifth consecutive for the Wildcats, who have now appeared in postseason play a total of 15 times with an 8-7 record. The bowl appearance for head coach Joker Phillips marked the first time in school history that a UK coach has gone to a bowl game in his first season on the job. Kentucky entered the game with new faces on the coaching staff and at quarterback as co-defensive coordinator Rick Minter coached his first game with the Wildcats, while sophomore Morgan Newton gained his first start of the season at quarterback after the suspension of senior Mike Hartline. Minter’s defense performed well in the game, limiting Pittsburgh to 96 passing yards on just nine completions while Randall Burden grabbed a key interception in the first quarter. Danny Trevathan led UK in tackles with 14, while Winston Guy had eight tackles, a tackle-for-loss and a pass breakup. On the offensive side, Newton was 21-for-36 for 211 yards, while senior Derrick Locke paced UK in rushing and receiving with 12 rushes for 71 yards and six receptions for 61 yards. Cobb ended his UK career with three rushes for 23 yards and five catches for 62 yards. The game started with Pittsburgh receiving the ball and marching 53 yards down the field before Tino Sunseri was

picked off by Burden to swing momentum to the Wildcats. After Newton completed three consecutive passes and Locke had a brilliant 28-yard rush into Pitt territory, the Wildcats made their only turnover of the game and fumbled the ball. The Panthers then went three and out and on the ensuing position, Craig McIntosh drilled a 50-yard field goal to give the Wildcats their lone lead of the game 3-0. Pittsburgh took the lead late in the second quarter 6-3 after Dan Hutchins hit back-to-back field goals from 21 and 33 yards. The Panthers scored their first touchdown late in the quarter on a one-yard quarterback sneak by Sunseri to go up 13-3 at halftime. The teams traded touchdowns in the third quarter. On Pitt’s first possession of the half, Sunseri hit Brock DeCicco for a touchdown to give the Panthers their biggest lead of the game at 20-3. The Wildcats put together a good drive later in the quarter. Newton guided the Cats 74 yards on 14 plays, capped when senior fullback Moncell Allen bulldozed in from one-yard out to cut the lead to 20-10. Pittsburgh tacked on its final touchdown in the fourth quarter.

Darryl Bishop of Louisville, whose final season was 1973, remains the UK leader in career interceptions with 14 . . . One of his most notable interceptions took place on Nov. 6, 1971, at Dudley Field in Nashville . . . With UK and Vanderbilt knotted at 7-7 and less than 50 seconds to play, Kentucky elected to punt facing a 4th-and-8 situation from its own 44 . . . Walter Overton made a fair catch at the Commodore 30, giving Vandy a first down . . . After QB Steve Burger lost four yards on the first play, the Commodores elected not to use a timeout . . . Then as time expired, Burger lofted a pass toward receiver Gary Chesley . . . The ball never got to Chesley as Bishop picked off the aerial and raced 43 yards for the winning score, giving UK a 14-7 victory on the game’s final play.

DR. ELI CAPILOUTO, PRESIDENT r. Eli Capilouto became the 12th President of the University of Kentucky on July 1, 2011. A native of Montgomery, Alabama, Dr. Capilouto previously served as Provost of the University of AlabamaBirmingham (UAB) and Dean of the UAB School of Public Health – a period of remarkable growth and transformation at one of the leading academic and health sciences institutions in the South. Since his arrival, Dr. Capilouto has intently engaged with University and community stakeholders to renew our founding mission and vision as a public, Flagship, Land Grant and Research University – what he has termed the Kentucky Promise. This shared covenant calls upon the University of Kentucky to be a shining beacon for the Commonwealth of Kentucky - building

D

a bright future for the people we serve through a comprehensive academic experience that prepares students to compete in a global, 21st century economy; groundbreaking research and discovery that pushes the boundaries of science and improves industry; and outreach through our extension network and critical care medical enterprise to uplift communities and citizens of the Commonwealth. Critically important to fulfilling this Promise, Dr. Capilouto has led a process to enhance UK’s undergraduate experience by increasing institutional investments in meritbased financial aid, including the prestigious Singletary Scholarship; expanding the University Honors Program; and entering into an innovative public/private partnership to revitalize the core of campus and create a modern living/learning community. Research at the University of Kentucky is a dynamic enterprise encompassing both traditional scholarship and emerging technologies, and UK’s research faculty, staff and students are

establishing UK as one of the nation’s most prolific public research universities. Dr. Capilouto is committed to growing the research enterprise through high-quality partnerships, both domestic and international, and by recruiting top scholars across the world. Essential to the service mission of the University of Kentucky is the advanced patient care and outreach provided by UK HealthCare. As the flagship academic-medical center in the region, UK serves patients through a network of health care professionals around the Commonwealth and by providing acute medical care at UK Chandler Hospital. Dr. Capilouto holds several undergraduate and graduate degrees from schools within the University of Alabama system, and a Doctorate in Health Policy and Management from Harvard University. He and his wife, Dr. Mary Lynne Capilouto (D.M.D.) a former Dean of the UAB School of Dentistry, have one daughter.

MITCH BARNHART, DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS itch Barnhart knew that the evening of May 30, 2013, was going to be a special night but it turned out to be far more memorable than the UK director of athletics ever imagined. Barnhart was at the annual Southeastern Conference Awards Dinner, where two of the Wildcats, Chelsea Oswald and Megan Moir, were receiving the SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year and Community Service Leader of the Year awards, respectively. What made the event even more memorable for Barnhart were the acceptance speeches made by Oswald and Moir, who pointed out how each had received her inspiration. “I remember when I was a freshman and our athletic director, Mitch Barnhart, was addressing all of the student-athletes,” Oswald said. “He said, ‘Being a student-athlete involves excelling not only on the playing field but also in the classroom and in the community – that is when you are truly successful.’ This greatly influenced me and I was determined to be an example of what Mr. Barnhart wanted to see in his athletes.” “I would like to thank Mr. Barnhart for the opportunity and the privilege of being a student-

athlete at the University of Kentucky,” Moir said. “I have so much respect for you and you have shown me what it means to be a true servant-leader. You are a man of high integrity and character and I have grown so much watching your leadership permeate throughout the entire athletic department. I think it is unique to find an athletic director quite like Mr. Barnhart – he can personally name each student-athlete and really takes the time to get to know us. It was not uncommon for Mr. Barnhart to stop and ask me about my family or for us to spend time talking about projects in the community we are involved in.” Such sentiments are common for those who know Barnhart, who is in his 12th year as director of athletics at Kentucky and challenges his student-athletes to succeed in the classroom and community in addition to the arenas of competition. Since Barnhart’s arrival, UK student-athletes have set records for graduation rates and department-wide grade-point average. In addition, UK has a perfect record in the nine-year history of the NCAA Academic Progress Rate. In the community, Wildcat athletes gave more than 4,600 hours of service last year. Of course, achievement on the fields of play is a vital component and new heights have been reached in that area as well. In 2012-13, UK finished in the Top 25 in the NACDA Directors

Cup standings for the first time in school history. Records have been set for winning conference championships and two teams have become national champions on Barnhart’s watch. Additional accomplishments during Barnhart’s term include numerous new or renovated athletic facilities and a $1.7-million annual gift to the University scholarship program, part of the annual total of approximately $25 million that UK Athletics spends on campus. Barnhart has been involved on the national level as well and in the summer of 2013 was appointed to the NCAA Council of Athletic Directors by NCAA President Mark Emmert. Barnhart arrived at UK from Oregon State, where he served four successful years (19982002) as athletics director. Before OSU, he worked in athletics administration posts at Tennessee (1986-98), Southern Methodist University (1983-86), Oregon (1983) and San Diego State (1982-83). Barnhart is a native of Kansas City, Kan. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Ottawa University (Kansas) in 1981 and a master’s in sports administration from Ohio University in 1982. His family includes his wife, Connie, three children, Blaire, Scott, Kirby Willoughby and her husband, McKenzie.

use certain gathered information on the media organization’s own Internet or online site beginning at the start of an athletic event and up to the conclusion of such event, all subject to the following limitations and conditions: (a) No more than 10 still photographs may be used for news coverage of the game and other editorial purposes during the event. Such still photographs must be used on a timedelayed basis that is at least five (5) minutes after the happening of the event depicted by the still photograph. (b) Video tape may only be shown as part of a single, non-archived, online “simulcast” of a television station’s regularly-scheduled news program. (c) While a game is in progress, the use of textual statistical information is time-delayed and limited in amount (e.g., updates pertaining to score, injuries and national, conference or institutional record-breaking performances, a condensed half-time story) so that an organization’s Internet or online game coverage does not undercut the authorized and rights-paying fee organization’s rights to play-by-play accounts of the game and/or exclusivity as to such rights. 2. Any proposed media use on an Internet or online sight of the game information that is more detailed and/or more than described above will require separate written authorization by the SEC and/or its member institutions. However, such written authorization will not permit the use of game information in entertainment contexts and will not authorize game coverage that, due to immediacy or detail, constitutes or approaches a playby-play account of a game. 3. Should any of these conditions be breached, the SEC and/or its member institutions will issue a written warning for the first violation. If this violation occurs during the last game of the institutions’ regularly-scheduled season, the media organization may not be credentialed for the SEC Football Championship Game. A second violation of this policy will result in revocation of credentials to cover future football games hosted by the SEC and/or its member institutions.

UK ON THE AIR he University of Kentucky is in the midst of a landmark 10-year deal for the University’s expanded multi-media marketing rights. The agreement was signed in 2005 with IMG College (formerly Host Communications) and Gray Television. IMG, UK’s radio and television partner for most of the past three decades, teams with Lexington TV station WKYT to pay the University $80.5 million during the term of the contract, making it one of the most lucrative deals of its kind in NCAA history. In addition to radio and TV rights for football and men’s basketball, the UK IMG Sports Network also features women’s basketball and baseball, corporate sponsorships, stadium and arena signage, and the official athletics website, UKathletics.com. At press time, IMG has compiled 62 radio stations, including two stations – WHAS (840 AM) in Louisville and WCKY (1530 AM) in Cincinnati – with clear-channel 50,000-watt signal. The agreement with IMG enhances UK’s national and regional broadcasting presence. Also enhancing UK’s national presence is the Southeastern Conference’s 15-year deal with ESPN and CBS. Every SEC football and men’s basketball game is available via CBS or an ESPN affiliate which began in 2009. ESPN’s deal, reportedly worth more than $2 billion, has rights to every SEC home football game not on the CBS package and all league matchups will be shown on some outlet, including at least 20 a year on ESPN or ESPN2. That includes two primetime Thursday night matchups and Saturday night games. For the 2013 football season, the UK radio broadcast team consists of play-by-play announcer Tom Leach (24 years with the network, 16th season on play-by-play), former Wildcat Jeff Piecoro (11th season) as the analyst, sideline reporter/post-game host Dick Gabriel (24th season), pregame analyst Oscar Combs (16th season) and pregame host Neil Price (second season). Working behind the scenes with the broadcasts are producer Mike Dodson, game-day engineer Daryl Doss and statistician Patrick Whitmer.

RECRUITING MESSAGE TO WILDCAT FANS FROM COACH MARK STOOPS “Obviously, it is of the utmost importance that our coaches, athletic staff, and fans stay compliant to the NCAA rules involving recruiting. The NCAA rules do not allow fans to call, write, send electronic messages or make in-person contact with prospective student-athletes, their families, or coaches on behalf of the University of Kentucky. “It is permissible for you to recommend a prospective student-athlete to us. If you would like to recommend a player, please write or call the UK football office (Nutter Training Center, 136 Sports Center Drive, Lexington, Ky., 40506-0277, phone 859-257-3611). Give us the player’s name and the high school he attends. The coaching staff will take it from there. Please do not contact the player, his family or his coaches on our behalf. Thank you for your cooperation.”

THE NCAA RULES

AND

• Has been involved, in any way, in the promotion of UK’s athletic program.

RECRUITING Only UK coaches and athletic department staff may be involved in the recruiting process. Boosters are prohibited from contacting a prospective student-athlete or members of his/her family by telephone, letter, text, e-mail, personal website posts, tweets or in person. This prohibition remains in effect until the prospect attends class as a full-time student in a fall or spring term at UK.

PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE In the sport of football, a prospective student-athlete is a person who has started classes for the ninth grade.

YOU

Compliance with NCAA rules is of the highest priority for our athletics program and institution. As a member of the NCAA, the University of Kentucky is responsible for the actions of its boosters and fans. Even the best-intentioned action on your part may be a violation of NCAA rules. Please contact the UK Compliance Office if you have any questions regarding what is permissible. We encourage our boosters and fans to “Ask Before You Act.” Inquiries should be directed as follows: Sandra Bell, Executive Associate AD or Rachel Newman Baker, Senior Associate AD University of Kentucky Athletics Joe Craft Center 338 Lexington Avenue Lexington, KY 40506-0604 Phone: (859) 257-6482 E-mail: sbell@uky.edu

EXTRA BENEFITS Prospective, current student-athletes and former student-athletes may not receive extra benefits. An extra benefit is any special arrangement to provide a student-athlete or his/her family a benefit not authorized by NCAA legislation. Extra benefits would include, but are not limited to: • Cash or loans in any amount; • Co-signing or arranging a loan; • Gifts or free services (such as airline ticket, restaurant meal, etc.); • Use of an automobile; • Rent-free or reduced-cost housing; • Money for, or a guarantee of, bail or bond; • Employment of a student-athlete at a rate higher than the wages paid for similar work; and • Payment to a student-athlete for work not performed.

If, for any reason, you are uncomfortable reporting a violation or a concern directly to the athletics department, you may use the “ComplyCat” hotline. The ComplyCat hotline can be reached by dialing 1-877-898-6072.
