Long drive: UK golf team
improves with summer trip

By Jon Hale
sports@kykernel com

If you looked for the UK
men's golf team this summer.
you might have found them
in a surprising place. For sev—
en days this summer. several
members of the team were
not honing their skills at arty
number of local courses. but
instead they were an ocean
away. playing some of the
most famous courses in the
world on a summer tour of
Ireland.

An NCAA rule allows
golf teams to make one inter-
national trip during the .sum-
mer every four years. and this
summer the UK men's golf
team utilized that rule to visit
Ireland and play on some of
the most unique courses iii
the world. Seven members of
the team. boosters. coaches

and Athletic Director Mitch
Barnhart \‘isited the Izmerald
Isle tor seven straight days of
golf this summer.

“We were all excited to
have some unbclievable ex-
periences playing the world‘s
greatest golf courses." men‘s
golf coach Brian (‘raig said.

This trip wasn‘t the golf
team‘s first expedition across
the Atlantic. In 2004 the team
took a similar tour of Ireland.
During their trip this summer.
the team played six courses
located in the southwest of
the country.

“It was an unbelievable
experience." junior golfer
Brian Belden said. “My dad
went with me and it was
great to be able to spend a
week with him playing on
some of the best courses in
the world."

During their tour of Ire—

land. the team played courses
designed by Greg Norman
and Arnold Palmer as well as
four courses that were built
over 100 years ago. Several
of the courses the team \‘isitv
ed have earned global recog—
nition for their difficulty.

Doonbeg Golf Club. de-
signed by two—time British
Open champion Norman. was
ranked the second most influ—
ential new course by Sports
Illustrated in 3002.

“This is a course I want
to be identified with. one I
am able to say with pride. I
did that one." Norman said
on the Doonbeg Golf Club
Web site. “I am the luckiest
designer in the world be-
cause of the uniqueness of
the site."

By Kenny Coleton
kcolstonakykernelcom

Quarterbacks

All week, head coach Rich Brooks has fielded questions
about who UK's starting quarterback will be—~freshman Ran-
dall (‘obb or sophotnore Mike Hartline. With Hartline. you
have a quarterback who won‘t make mistakes. but so far does-
n't have the extra gear to win a game himself. In Cobb. you
have that extra gear. but costly freshman mistakes. In the end.
it doesn't matter because Middle Tennessee State is led by
senior Joe Craddock. who torched Maryland for 256 yards and
two touchdowns last week in MTSU's spread offense. UK's
indecision makes this one easy.

Advantage: Middle Tennessee

Running Backs

UK finally showed flashes of a running game last week
against Norfolk State. Derrick Locke ran for 96 yards and
Moncell Allen and Alfonso Smith showed flashes at times.
Blue Raider Phillip Tanner has 132 yards so far this year. but
only averages 3.2 yards per carry. That‘s not outstanding and
MTSU doesn‘t have nearly the depth UK has at running back.
The problem is that UK has just been a lot slower in showing
depth that everyone thought was there.

Advantage: UK

Wide Receivers

Both UK and MTSU face a similar problem here: inexpe-
rience. C raddock may be a good quarterback. but he benefits
from the spread offense. not talented receivers. UK has one
go-to guy in Dicky Lyons Jr.. but so far he has been ineffective
in actually making him a big target. Cobb‘s 14-yard touch-
down pass to Lyons showed flashes. but UK will need more of
that as the season progresses. Still. Lyons is all UK needs to
edge out the Blue Raiders.

Advantage: UK

Offensive Line

Billy Joe Murphy filled in well for Garry Williams last
week against Norfolk State and the rest of the offensive line is
protecting both quarterbacks a decent amount. but by no
means are they dominating. On the other hand. MTSU‘s 0—
line helped out enough for a win over Maryland, but is very
young. The challenge for UK to rush better also fails on UK‘s
line.

Advantage: UK

Defensive Line
There is no doubt that UK will win this category almost

every time this year. No one doubts Jeremy Jarmon. Corey Pe-
ters or Myron Pryor's ability. But if Craddock spreads that ball
around quickly. UK‘s strong point could have a little bit of an
off-day. Still, this is the easiest pick of the bunch.

Advantage: UK

Linebackers

Braxton Kelley. Micah Johnson and Johnny Williams are a
well-oiled machine. Each usually gets four or five tackles a
game and are good for a few sacks. You won‘t find many
more cohesive groups than LIK's. Junior Danny Carrnicheal is
MTSU's big junior linebacker. but UK plays these weaker op—
ponents for a reason: so they have a depth advantage.

Advantage: UK

Secondary

If the Blue Raiders have a strong point outside of quarter-
back. it‘s the secondary. Comers Ted Riley and Alex Suber
had key interceptions against Maryland. Plus. the spread is al-
ways hard on a team's secondary. so UK will have its hands
full. UK will have to show that it has depth against the spread
with Shomari Moore and Robbie McAtee. MTSU could pull
the upset, but it‘s more likely that this will be the tape Urban
Meyer uses to see how UK‘s secondary responds against the
spread offense.

Advantage: UK

Special Teams

This is where UK usually has an advantage in the non-
conference schedule. Sure. MTSU has the special teams
Player of the Week for the Sun Belt Conference in punter
David DeFatta. but you usually see depth on the special
teams in college and UK‘s depth is better. UK is developing
a nice field goal blocking unit and the returns have been
pretty good as well. Plus. since when does Sun Belt special
teams Player of the Week really give any team a huge ad-
vantage?

Advantage: UK

Overall

UK should beat the Blue Raiders. Should. Of course.
everyone knows anything can happen on any given Saturday
and Rich Brooks isn’t happy with his squad right now. MTSU
took down Maryland last weekend. but they don’t have the
friendly confides of their home field to play in this weekend.
MTSU will scare for a while. but UK will pull it out in the
end. And Rich Brooks will still not be happy.

Advantage: UK

 

Wide receivers key to Cats' play

In a perfect world the ends would
meet.
If Rich Brooks had it his way. the

sophomore. won’t single handedly de—
termine if the Cats reach their potential
this season — the skilled position that

Hartline would have been a little more
pleasing if he hooked up with junior
wide receiver EJ. Adams for a big play

UK offenses of the last two seasons
would collide with
this year's stingy de-
fensive unit. creating
a team that could be
singing “I've Got
Georgia on My
Mind" without being
laughed off the
stage.

But Common-
wealth Stadium is
not a prefect world.
and Brooks has to
work with what he’s
got. which is a team
steps behind the talent level of Florida
and Georgia. two favorites with a run-
ning head-start to represent the South—
eastern Conference East in Atlanta at
the Championship a few months down
the road.

The gap is obvious and comes as no
surprise. Making up ground is the area
that will challenge UK‘s offensive
coaching staff the most as the season
continues to unfold.

Last weekend against Norfolk State.
Brooks unveiled true freshman Randall
Cobb under center. The positive results
after the quarterback switch were air
most instant. But the success of (.‘obb or
fellow quarterback Mike Hartline. a

J.D.

WILLIAMS
Kernel
columnist

matters is mainly at wide receiver.

Brooks said the coaching staff antic—
ipated using a two-quarterback system
this season. a system he used while
coaching at Oregon when the situation
presented itself. But whether Cobb
scrambles out the pocket and runs until
his feet go numb. or Hartline stands be—
hind the O-line and launches the ball
down the field doesn’t mean a thing if
no one is getting open to make catches.

Getting the ball to the receiver is
extremely high on the “Quarterback To
Do List." from Pop Warner to retire—
ment — except in those Wing Forma-
tion offenses with three halfbacks in the
game. which considering the depth UK
has at running back would be interest-
ing to see.

But in the traditional offense UK
runs. two more playmakers at wide re—
ceiver would benefit the Cats well be-
yond their overloaded backfield.

After a 2-0 start to the season.
Brooks is far from satisfied. Despite the
numbers senior wide out Dicky Lyons
Jr. is putting up. Brooks made it clear
that the Cats need better performances
from other receivers.

Brooks pointed out the miscommu-
nication between the quarterbacks and
the receivers and wrong route running
in the Cats win over Norfolk State.

instead of an incompletion.

Earlier this week Brooks said it
would be better if “EJ. gets the check
and doesn‘t run the out route when
Hartline is throwing it down the field
where he‘s (Adams) suppose to be. . .it
makes Hartline look pretty stupid
throwing the ball 30 yards from where
the guy is.

“It's a combination of things. But
certainly. if we can get the ball moving.
move the chains and score some points
everyone will feel better and then
maybe we can move forward and have
our two—quarterback system and do the
things we want to with it."

If the receivers and the quarterbacks
can get on the same page in the play-
book. UK will have an opportunity to
spread the field and unload an offense
oozing with potential. A consistent pass-
ing game in addition to the overstocked
backfield will give opposing defensive
coordinators headaches. Just imagine
the possibilities and all the tricks UK
offensive coordinator Joker Phillips
could pull out just to amuse himself.

Not to say that the offense would be
prefect. but at least a few loose ends
would meet.

United States by "Golf Di—

five-time British Open cham‘
pion Tom Watson said: "Haw
ing played the Old (‘ourse at
Ballybunion many times
since my first visit in I‘JXT. I
am now of the opinion it is
one of the best and most
beautiful tests of links golf
anywhere in the world."

The top five goltcrs on
the men's team at the end of
the 2007-08 season were
guaranteed spots on the trip.
and additional golfers were
added as spots became avail-
able. In addition to the team
and coaches. several boost—
ers. parents. Bamhart and his
son made the trip overseas.

“The experience of play-
ing golf on the beautiful
courses in Ireland with coach
Craig and his team was in—

valuable." Bamhart said in a
statement provided to the
Kernel. “It‘s always good to
have an opportunity to inter
act with our student athletes.
The young men on our golf
team represented the Univer—
sity of Kentucky well. It was
truly a unique experience"

According to Craig. Bam-
hart‘s role in the trip didn‘t go
unnoticed by the players.

“Mitch loves to spend
time With all student ath-
letes." Craig said. “To go on
a trip where he actually had a
chance to play with the ath-
letes was special to him. This
trip was a great opportunity
to spend time with the guys.
and I think they really appre—
ciated it."

“I think a trip like this
helps make you a better play-
er." Craig said. “When play-
ing the links courses in lre-
land you have to be more cre—
ative, I can't say for certain
that you‘ll see a direct im—
provement from the trip
when we start the season. but
this can only help our play—
ers‘ development."

his invitations to try rugby.
“The football guys are
scared." (‘urtin chuckled.
”You can‘t run out of
bounds. and there's no
pads."

He also said that be»
cause rugby players play
continuously for two forty
mmutc halves. rugby players
are exposed to “a little bit of
cycrything. Football players
are so specialized. but a mg
by player could probably do
a number of sports without
much extra training."

Team member Ricky
Simpson reinforced Curtin's
opinion. saying that rugby
could be considered “soccer
for tough guys and football
for athletes."

Club President Peter
()cstcrling said that rugby's
style of play could be com-
pared to “always running the
option in football. but With—
out blockers or breaks be
tween plays."

Though most UK stu»
dents know very little about
rugby. the team encourages
potential members of all
skill levels to join them. and

hopes to see increased stu-
dent support at home games
this year as well. This week-
end. the team travels to
Louisville to clash with the
Cardinals.

Oesterling’s goals as
club president focus on long
term objectives. He said that
in the coming year he would
like to see the team build a
solid foundation this year.
He continued by saying that
as one of UK's oldest cltib
sports. the team has a roller
coaster of emotions.

“We've seen our tips and
downs. I would like to make
it so that we don‘t have any
more downs in the future. I
would like to see us consis-
tcntly move in a positive di»
rcction." Ocsterling said.

Cunin echoed those
thoughts. saying that he
would like to set tip the
young talent to win champi.
onships in the future.

And as in arty sport. new
players can learn important
lessons that can be used off
the playing field.

"This is good training
for real life." (‘tirtin cx~
plained. “It‘s a brand new
sport for a lot of these guys.
