Kentucky Wildcats

Kentucky is on a roll. 8-5 and a bowl victory. Rich Brooks brings an explosive offensive team to Lexington. There are 7 returning starters on the "O" including senior quarterback Andre' Woodson. A year ago he threw for 3,500 yards and 31 touchdowns. Predicted by many to be an All SEC pick, he leads a veteran unit into battle against quality defenses. Woodson has capable targets in Keenan Burton and Dicky Lyons. Burton led the team with 1,000 yards while Lyons had 800 yards. Tight end Jacob Tamme is a mismatch against most linebackers, while being good enough to out muscle defensive backs. Tamme had 400 yards during his junior year. Mr. Everything on the Kentucky team is senior running back Rafael Little. Little had 1,400 all purpose yards last year including sitting out 4 games with a knee injury. The o-line returns 2 players on the left side. The other 3 players are returning upper classmen.

The defense revolves around hard nosed linebacker Wesley Woodyard. Woodyard had 122 tackles last year when he was named first team All SEC. Woodyard is joined by the other 2 returning linebackers from last year. The backfield returns 3 starters from last year with safety Roger Williams leading the way. The corner position is held by 2 sophomores: Trevard Lindley and EJ Adams. Free safety Marcus McClinton led the nation with 5 forced fumbles. The d-line returns 2 starters being end Jeremy Jarmon and tackle Myron Pryor.

Commonwealth Stadium welcomes Louisville, LSU, Florida,and Tennessee. The Wildcats visit South Carolina and Georgia.
