With Middle Tennessee coming this week, Kentucky football has risen to such dizzying heights there is more discussion about Artose Pinner and Jared Lorenzen and less about Tubby Smith and the roundball roster. More talk about (favorable) turnover ratios and less about fourth quarter fold-ups.
UK’s season has been so sunny so far, a sports writer in Knoxville complained that Kentucky should be on television more — Lorenzen is so entertaining.
Welcome to Guy Morriss country where he a team that is within a victory of equalling totals the last two seasons combined, and there is gathering talk about a place in the polls. Kentucky was 27th in a poll this week. But sobering is the fact that four opponents still ahead are up ahead in the polls also.
Yet, these are heady days for UK football, all things considered.
In two of three games now, Morriss’s team has gone against UK history for late game choke, fold or run-out-of-gas at the end. Louisville and Indiana seemed to solve the Cats in fourth quarters, but “here we go again,” didn’t happen.
