3s~.

UK football is pointing to new offensive coordinator Joker Phillips
to breathe life into the Wildcat offense. Can he be the wild card
for one of the lowest scoring teams of 2004?

UK FOOTBALL PIGSKIK PREVIEW 2005

Hail to the offensive chief

Team's weight put on Joker Phillips' shoulders. Is it necessary?

Before games. quarterback Andre'
Woodson listens to Young Jeezy.

As a player. defensive backs Steve
Brown used to hit up Jack in the Box
during his pregame routine.

Joker runs.

“Sunday morning. I‘ll
get up and run and have
breakfast. That‘s my rou-
tine i run." offensive
coordinator Joker
Phillips said. “Try to re-
lax me. relax my mind.
Then [ can seize the mo-
ment once it comes."

If the UK offense is as
relaxed as Phillips. the of-
fense will look surpris-
ingly different.

Phillips took over for
Ron Hudson before UK's
season finale against Tennessee last sea-
son. Hudson tumbled toward a cliff as
the Wildcat offense rolled toward extinc-
tion last year.

It doesn‘t matter whose shoes he‘s
ﬁlling. Phillips has a major task at hand:
carrying the UK football team.

But is it warranted? More things
were broke on the Wildcats last year
than the offense. Nothing was prolific
last season except for defensive coordi-
nator Mike Archer‘s plaid jackets and
head coach Rich Brooks‘ feigning sar-
casm.

The defense took a beating through
the air and on the ground. UK ranked
dead last in the Southeastern Conference
in scoring and rushing defense.

Phillips took over for a team ranked

last or tied for last in all Southeastern Conference offensive
categories (tied for 11th in scoring. 10th in passing. 12th in
rushing) and only a handful ever separated the Wildcats from
the same spot overall in the NCAA. They finished the season

cial stamp on UK's offense Sunday vs. Louisville.

ranked 113th out of 117 teams in total offense.

How could UK possibly do worse? The real question is.

what will they do to get better?
It‘s real simple.

Woodson. despite attempting only 88 passes last year. corn-

important stat. though. isn't his two
touchdowns. but his sole interception.
Only one pick in 88 passes against SEC
secondaries ain’t too shabby.

Phillips wants execution. plain and
simple. One of UK’s problems in the past
was trying to do too much with too little.
Hudson didn't seem to be able to. or
want to. adapt his offense to what he
had.

UK was being inundated with com-
plicated playbooks and unnecessary op-
tions.

Louisville can the tone for the entire
season for the Cats. It has in the past.

WWJD + what would Joker do?

“I want them to be crisp," Phillips
said of his expectations for Sunday’s
game vs. the Cards. “1 want them to be
fast. I want them to explode.”

Phillips is a laid back coach. He’s of-
ten seen hanging around and joking
with members of the media long after
practice has ended. Some call it
schmoozing. But I just think it's his per-
sonality.

“I enjoy trying to motivate the kids."
he said. “It‘s my job to make sure the of-
fense is motivated."

Cliche is too weak a word for “play-
er's coach." but that's what Phillips is.

All eyes are on Joker. and if he‘s the
wild card for UK’s success this season.
he carries a huge burden.

At least the team‘s on the same page,
in his eyes.

“We are deﬁnitely together. so I feel
like that’s our strength," he said. “They
enjoy practice and they enjoy playing to-

gether. That‘s our best strength.“

Can winning become the routine? Not when UK has to re-
build every three years.

Phillips is patient. He‘s got the time. Do you?

Wildcats have Plan B for OBS

By Chris Johnson

IN! KENTUCKY KERN“

Andre‘ Woodson has been
preparing for Louisville
since the end of last season.

“My whole summer was
based around it.” Woodson
said. “I‘m pretty prepared.“

UK‘s sophomore starting
quarterback said he isn't ner-
vous for Sunday’s game.

Yet.

“If 1 start showcasing
that (nervousness). it's not a
very good sign for the rest of
the team." Woodson said.
"But by game time. it'll get to
me."

A source of Woodson's
nerves could be the first
game as starting quarter
back against rival Louisville.
or the fact that he represents
the experience of the UK sig-
nal-calling crew. His backup.
2004 Kentucky Mr. Football
Curtis Pulley is a true fresh-
man entering his ﬁrst college
game.

UK quarterbacks coach
Kurt Roper has made it a pri-
ority to teach Pulley the sys-
tem, to have a contingency
plan in case Woodson gets in-

Woodson.

jured.

“It’s always a concern
when you lose your starting
quarterback especially when
the backups a freshman.“
said quarterbacks coach
Kurt Roper. "(Pulley)‘s proba~
bly a little bit ahead of a true
freshman; he’s even a little

ahead of Eli Manning in reps
at this point."

Pulley practiced with
both the first- and second-
team offenses this week.
working with UK's deep re-
ceiving corps.

“I'm ready for the speed
of the game." Pulley said,
noting the increase in speed
as the main factor between
high school and college foot-
ball. “I'm a little concerned
because it's my first college
game. but I‘m ready to go in."

Roper likes what they’ve
seen so far from the true
freshman quarterback.

“He’s talented and he has
lots of ability" Roper said.
“He can make a lot of plays
in this league."

Woodson acknowledged
the magnitude of the
Louisville game. but also not-
ed that the season was larger
than its debut performance.

"The first game‘s big.“
Woodson said. "If we can just
win this first one. it'll be a
confidence boost for the
whole year"

Special teamers know theirrole

By Laura Nelliqan

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL

For Steve ()rtmayer. spe—
cial teams should not be for—
gotten.

“Its about one-third of
the game." the UK special
teams coordinator said. “The
offense is a third. the defense
is a third and the special
teams is a third. The role of
special teams really increas~
es in importance."

Sophomore kick returner
and wide receiver Keenan
Burton agrees.

“It's important because
the special team is kind of a
momentum changer.“ Burton
said. “It's important that the
special teams stay on top of
their game so they can help
both the offense and the de-
fense."

Burton sat out 2004 with
of a broken wrist. This sea-
son. he's ready to be back in
the game.

“I‘ve been watching a lot
more special teams films."
Burton said. “I really didn’t
my past two seasons here.
but now I'm really starting to
watch more film and get a
better understanding for
what I have to do and what
my role is on special teams."

“Keenan has had a good
fall so far." ()rtmayer said.
“He will return punts as well
as kickoffs in this game. We
look for big things out of
him. He looked good against
Louisville returning kickoffs
a year ago."

Other key kick and punt
returners will be senior
Draak Davis and sophomores
Dicky Lyons. Rafael Little
and John Logan. who all
helped ﬁll in during Burton‘s
absence last season.

"John Logan is looking
good." ()rtmayer said. “We
haven‘t had a chance to use
Rafael Little too much. but
we expect him to be ready for

this game. He is a quality re<
turner. Even freshman David
Jones has a chance to jump
into that mix.“

Senior kicker 'l‘aylor Beg-
Iey currently holds the active
school streak for 77 consecu-
tive extra points and com-
pleted nine of his H field
goal attempts last season. Af~
ter sitting out a year due to
his transfer from Central
Florida, Kris Kessler will be
the number one punter

Burton is confident in the
hard work that the special
teams have put in this spring
and summer.

"Right now. we‘re trying
to get our timing together
and get ready for the game."
Burton said. “It's more frus-
trating now because we want
to play the game so much.
and we don’t get a chance to.
We got to wait till Sunday"

Tennessee

2004: 10-3 (7-1)

Coach: Phil Fulmer (123-31. 14th
year)

Key Players: QB Erik Ainge. RB
Gerald Riggs. OL Aaron Sears. DT
Jesse Mahelona. LB Kevin Simon. CB
Jason Allen

Rundown: The Volunteers are the
most balanced team in the league. With
a proven starter in Ainge. who won the
job over Rick Claussen last week. and a
bruising back in Riggs. the offense has
great potential. The defense is likely
the SEC's best. especially in the front
seven. UT will be a major player in the
national title hunt. The Oct. 8 game vs.
Georgia could determine the division
title.

Georgia

2004: 10-2 (6-2)

Coach: Mark Richt (42-10. 5th year)

Key Players: QB D.J. Shockley. RB

Max Jean-Gilles. MLB Tony Taylor. CB
Tim Jennings

Rundown: Fifth~year senior Shock-
ley finally gets his opportunity to run
the offense. and will be aided by depth
at running back. Three RBs should see
significant carries. Pope gives UGA a
go-to third down option. Taylor and
Jennings lead' a defensive unit that
must overcome the losses of first-
round NFL picks DE David Pollack and
S Thomas Jones.

Key Players: QB Chris Leak. WR

Rundown: Meyer‘s “Urban Renew-
al" has been much publicized in
Gainesville. but his spread offense
could take time to implement. There
are questions about Leak's ability to
run an offense that asks for mobility
from the QB. and no real standouts at
RB. The defense may have to carry the
load for the Gators to return to promi-
nence. They're a year away.

Key Players: RB Cory Boyd. WR

CB Fred Bennett. FS Ko Simpson

254-4464

M-F 9-6 Sat 8-12

Rundown: The 01' Ball Coach is
back, but with far less talent than he
had in Gainesville. There is no proven
QB. which spells trouble for the Fun ‘N
Gun offense. The offseason was marred
by multiple player dismissals. includ-
ing a starting RB and DE. Other coach-
es should get their licks in on Spurrier
now. while they still can.

Vanderbilt

2004: 2-9 (1-7)

Coach: Bobby Johnson (6-29. 4th
year: 66—65 overall. 11 years)

Key Players: QB Jay Cutler. WR
Erik Davis. OLB Moses Osemwegie. FS
Kelechi Ohanaja

Rundown: Cutler. voted as first
team all-SEC in the preseason. is a lone
bright spot as Johnson continues his
struggle to turn the program around.
There are questions everywhere else
on offense. Starting RB Kwane Doster
was killed in the off-season. and the
line suffered significant losses to grad-
uation. The defense and special teams
are poor. Three wins is probably the
ceiling.

West

Alabama

2004: 6-6 (3-5)

Coach: Mike Shula (10-15. 3rd year)

Key Players: QB Brodie Croyle. RB
Kenneth Darby. WR Matt Caddell. DE
Wallace Gilberry. LB DeMeco Ryans.
CB Ramzee Robinson

Rundown: If Croyle can stay
healthy. the Tide have the talent to
shock the league. Shula has the team
ready to break out in his third year at
the helm. with solid weapons at RB
and WR and a defense that returns
nine starters. not including Gilberry.
who saw significant time in the rota‘
tion last year. The schedule is favor-
able. with Florida. Tennessee and LSU
all coming to Tuscaloosa.

Louisiana State

2004: 9-3 (62)

Coach: Les Miles (1st year: 28-21
overall. 4 years)

Key Players: RB Justin Vincent. RB
Joseph Addai. WR/KR Skyler Green.
LB Cameron Vaughn. FS LaRon
Landry

Rundown: Miles takes over with
sky—high expectations from the Tiger
faithful. but a fierce battle at QB and
the coaching turnover could lead to a
slow start. There is amazing depth at
RB w where Vincent and Addai will
share time A and at WR. where Green
will be depended on as a playmaker.
There are. however. questions on de-
fense. especially in the secondary.
which was exploited in 2004.

Rundown: Tuberville‘s team has
the daunting task of following last
year‘s undefeated performance with-
out all-SEC QB Jason Campbell and
top~five draft picks Carnell Williams
and Ronnie Brown. Cox and Smith are
relatively inexperienced and will need
to pick things up quickly if the Tigers
are to remain in the elite. The defense
will remain strong. with six returning
starters and solid depth.

2004: 5-6 (36)

Coach: Houston Nutt (53-33. 8th
year: 8866 overall. 12 years)

Key Players: QB Robert Johnson.
RB D‘Arrius Howard. WR Marcus
Monk. DT Marcus Harrison. LB Pierre
Brown

Rundown: The offense wasn't the
problem last year. and should be strong
again. even with the loss of QB Matt
Jones. Johnson has all the necessary
skills and a solid. deep receiving core.
New defensive coordinator Reggie Her-
ring will try to turn around a unit that
allowed nearly 25 points per game last
year. No less than five players have
changed positions in an effort to create
a faster unit.

Mississippi State

2004: 38 (2-6)

Coach: Sylvester Croom (3-8. 2nd
year)

Key Players: QB Omarr Conner. RB
Jerious Norwood. LB Quinton Culber-
son. S Jeramie Johnson

Rundown: The Bulldogs went 2-3
down the stretch in SEC play last year.
a major step in the right direction.
That has led to some optimism this
year in Starkville. Conner returns and
should be better in his second year in
the system. Norwood is back as well as
both starting receivers. so the offense
should fare much better than its league
worst 15.7 points per game in 2004. The
defense remains weak.

Mississippi

2004: 4—7 (36)

Coach: Ed Orgeron (1st year)

Key Players: QB Michael Spurlock.
RB Jamal Pittman. WR Mike Espy. LB
Kelvin Robinson. LB Patrick Willis

Rundown: The fiery Orgeron might
have to do it with mirrors in his first
year. Spurlock failed early last season
and was replaced. The receiving corps
is inexperienced. as is the offensive
line. The defense should be a little far-
ther along. The Rebels have solid LBS.
which should help offset a mediocre
line. The secondary is a veteran unit
with three returning starters. The
depth. however. is poor.

age Control to issue more citations
for underage drinking orr campus

UK open

Displaced students could
find refuge on campus

By Sean Rose

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL

UK is adopting more than a
dozen students displaced by
Hurricane Katrina in an effort
to help victims of the storm.

So far all the admitted stu-
dents are from schools that are
closed indefinitely because of
Katrina, including Tulane Uni-
versity and Loyola University.
both in Louisiana. and other
schools from the Gulf Coast.

“We‘re just trying to ac-
commodate students in any
way possible." said Michelle
Garth. an employee in the un-
dergraduate admissions office.

Philipp Kraemer. associate
provost for undergraduate edu-
cation. said that UK will put
temporary waivers on tuition.
housing fees and dining ac-
counts to ease the transition to
UK.

UK President Lee Todd sent
an e-mail to UK students from
the Gulf Coast area promising
that UK will do all they can to
help.

“Do not hesitate to contact
your advisor or discuss your
situation with a faculty or staff
member.“ Todd said in a press
release. “We are all here to
help. You are now part of the
University of Kentucky family
and we pledge to do all we can
to assist you."

Garth said she expects
more displaced students to
seek late admission at UK. She
said UK is open to all who have
been affected by Katrina. and
UK will look at each student‘s
situation separately in efforts
to accommodate them.
