Leak orchestratas laughable loss for UK

Florida crushes UK In first half
with 49 straight points

By Chris Johnson
in: KENTUCKY mm

The UK defense sprung a Leak
Saturday afternoon.

And by the time they plugged it.
they had yielded seven unanswered
touchdowns in seven possessions.

Florida junior quarterback Chris
Leak threw for 319 yards and four
touchdowns, and DeShawn Wynn
tied a career high and Florida school
record with four touchdowns in the
Gators’ 4928 roasting of UK at Com-
monwealth Stadium.

UK's season may have hit its
breaking point in the second quarter.
when Florida scored 35 unanswered
points. UK has now been outscored
73-7 in the second period this season.

“Our second quarter is
atrocious right now." de-
fensive coordinator Mike
Archer said.

“The second quarter
has really killed us in a lot
of games." sophomore
tight end Jacob Tamme
said.

In that frame, UK was
outgained 250 yards to 53,
lost three turnovers, and
watched the stadium
crowd dwindle by the thousands.

Leak went 11—for-13 for 161 yards
and two touchdowns in the period,
and Wynn carried six times for 17
yards and scored three touchdowns
~ two on the ground and one receiv-
ing.

“The second quarter took it out
of us." Tamme said. “Losing takes
its toll on anybody...we kept playing
hard, though.”

Behind backup quarterback Cur—
tis Pulley, and playing against Flori-
da’s second- and third-string defend-
ers. UK scored three touchdowns in
the second half to cut the halftime
Gator lead of 49-7 to the final 49—28
margin.

Pulley scored two rushing touch-
downs, finishing with 32 yards rush-
ing on seven carries to go with 4-of-6
passing for 38 yards. He said playing
well in the second half helped him
believe in his ability to play at the
college level.

“I gained confidence in myself
for games down the road," Pulley
said. “It’s a great confidence boost
knowing we can move the ball

string)?

Florida head coach Urban Meyer
was forced to return his starters to
action in the fourth quarter. after
Pulley's second touchdown. an 18-
yard scamper after being flushed
from the pocket.

The game began on the right foot
for UK when Tamme blocked Flori-
da's punt on its first possession and
sophomore running back Rafael Lit-
tle ran into the end zone three plays
later for a 7-0 lead.

Leak and the Gators then pro-
ceeded down the field on the ensuing
possession and the next six posses-
sions after that. at one point complet-
ing nine consecutive passes and con-
verting 11 straight third-down oppor-
tunities on the depleted and worn
Wildcat defense.

“Our third~down defense is very
poor." Brooks said.

“The most disappoint-
ing thing (about the de-
fense) is the third-down
play." Archer said.

'5 Florida finished the
game 12 of 16 on third-
down conversions. UK’s
three previous opponents
— Louisville. Idaho State
and Indiana — all convert-
ed at‘ least 50 percent of
their third down attempts.

Florida’s size. speed
and sheer athleticism im-
pressed the Cats.

“They really blitzed a lot,"
Tamme said. “They had the athletes
not to get hurt by it.

“Overall. they‘re the best team
I’ve seen since I’ve been here.
They’re extremely athletic, from de-
fensive tackle to safety,” Tamme said.

UK’s players and coaches were
impressed with their own ability to
come back from the dire straits that
was the 49-7 halftime score.

“We showed a little backbone and
character," Brooks said of his team’ s
second- half effort. “We didn t give in
to what could have been an ugly situ-
ation.”

down midway through the fourth
quarter, freshman cornerback David

Saturday. Florida took a heavy

dose of UK defense. And the

there (the Gators completed pass—

Maloney said the gay

is still mired in the inertia of
public discourse and judicial

meanwhile. recently put the
issue to the vote. In late July.

those of opposite-sex unions.

Motorcycles are a cheap
mode of transportation off

cles use premium gas. which
is currently about ten cents
more per gallon than un-

about 10 more miles per gal-

Another contrast is the
relatively lax attitude of
Canadian religious leaders to
gay marriage. Maloney said.
In Canada, “concerns exist

very little if any." Maloney
said. The United Church of
Canada. the nation’s largest
Protestant denomination.
has endorsed gay marriage.
The law doesn‘t require reli—
gious leaders who disapprove
of gay marriage to perform
ceremonies of union.

said. “It‘s not going away. and
we have to take a new ap-
proach to it. It’s a serious
public safety issue."

UK political science pro-
fessor Ernie Yanarella said
there‘s a fundamental differ-
ence between America and
Canada.

“There is a much freer
and more liberal political
culture that operates in

Canada." said Yanarella. a
chief coordinator of the
event.

“It is not infused with

powerful moral concerns
about how people should
live.”

Aside from differences in
social policy. U.S.-Canadian
relations remain overall pos-
itive. Yanarella said.

“We do a lot of business
with them." he said.

Canada has remained a
key trading partner with
America. Kentucky gener-
ates $8.2 billion in trade an-

levees and pump out flood
waters as business owners
and residents of the Algiers
neighborhood prepare to re-
turn for a second time today.

Hurricane Rita pushed
the New Orleans recovery ef-
fort back by about five days.
Mayor Ray Nagin said. But
he remains determined to re-
sume a re—entry plan that
federal officials have ques
tioned as too ambitious giv-
en the fragility of the city‘s

“We want to bring New

about people who are mo-
bile. We're not asking people
to come back who have a lot
of kids. a lot of senior citi-
zens. “That's going to be the
reality of New Orleans mov-
ing forward."

After evacuating for Rita

back into New Orleans Sun:

work had been undone. In
the wealthy Garden District.
tree removal experts were
hauling away limbs and
branches from streets that

Most significantly. teams
from the US. Army Corps of
Engineers descended on the
deep. wide Industrial Canal
to repair temporary levees
damaged by Rita. Working
through the night Saturday,
the Corps dropped 200 sand-
bags — weighing between
3.000 pounds and 7.000
pounds ~— into the largest
breaks. said spokesman

  
 

Mitch Frazier. It will likely
take a week to pump out the
Lower Ninth Ward that was
submerged for two weeks by
Katrina and reflooded by
Rita over the weekend. That
would be sooner than expect—
ed as officials had projected
it would take two weeks.

Even with those rapid re-
pairs. the (Torps does not ex-

With nearly two months
remaining in hurricane sea-

worried until the levee struc-
ture has been repaired to
pre-Katrina heights.“ said
Coast Guard Vice Adm.
Thad Allen said on (TNN‘s
Late Edition.

This week. Nagin hopes
to name a highprofile com
mission to oversee the recon-
struction of a city that faces
heart wrenching decisions
about whether to rebuild in
neighborhoods that were irri-
derwater not once. but twice.

“Some of these houses

are going to be uninhabit-
able. but the public does not
know that yet." Allen told
Fox News Sunday “In my
personal discussions with
the mayor. I think he's de-
sirous to have the public
have a good appreciation for
the condition of the city and
then take next steps. That
may not be explicitly stated.
but that is my understand-
ing."
Allen. named by Presi-
dent Bush to oversee the
New Orleans recovery. pub-
licly chastised Nagin a week
ago when the mayor an-
nounced an ambitious plan
to invite up to 280.000 people
back into the city over a
week‘s time. This time. Na-
gin is pledging a more grad—
ual approach.

“We will begin the men-
try plan with business own-
ers and residents of Al-
giers." he said Saturday
“Then we will stop. assess
our progress. and move on to
the previously targeted zip
codes.“

Even as Nagin pressed
ahead. officials acknowl-

   

edged a severe financial
crunch is affecting teachers.
the district attorney's office.
hospital workers and the po-
lice. Schools are not expect-
ed to reopen before January.

The Orleans Parish dis-
trict attorney‘s office an-
nounced it would lay off
more than half its “nones-
sential. non‘legal" staff pri-
marily because the city of
New Orleans has been un-
able to make its quarterly
payment to the office. A
statement warned: “Further
layoffs may be required
without additional funding."

The city received $102
million in immediate salary
assistance. but under federal
rules the money may only be
used for overtime.

“We don't know how
We'll pay base salaries." Na-
gin said. Police officers were
paid last Friday but the may-
or said it will be difficult to
make the next payroll.

The Louisiana State Uni-
versity health care services
division. which runs a net-
work of hospitals across the
state. has pledged to pay
workers through October.
The system lost nearly half

of its revenue when Katrina

demolished its flagship
Charity Hospital in down-
town New Orleans and is in
danger of losing staff mem-
bers. said CEO Don Smith-
burg.

As thousands of resi~
dents and workers return to
the New Orleans area
“there's going to be a dire
need for health care." he
said in an interview Sunday.
When that happens. “we're
going to need those staff
members and health care
workers are a precious. pre-
cious commodity these
days.“

One less positive sign of
progress: New Orleans po-
lice made 11 arrests Satur—
day night. Police spokesman
Marlon Del-‘illo said they
were minor incidents.
though he could not provide
details. The city has set up a
makeshift jail in the bus-
train station under lnter~
state 10.

Cats notch first conference win,
snap Tide's 13-game winning streak

8y Chris Detotell
THE KENTUCKY «Wu

What a difference two
days make.

Less than 48 hours after
being swept by Auburn on
Friday, the UK volleyball
team bounced back in a big
way yesterday, defeating Al-
abama 3-1 in an emotionally
charged match at Memorial
Coliseum.

The Wildcats asserted
themselves from the begin
ning against the Crimson
Tide (13-2. 1-1 Southeastern
Conference), taking the first
game with relative ease. UK
(8-4, 1-1) entered intermis
sion with a 2-0 advantage fol-
lowing a victory in game
two.

Senior middle blocker
Amy Kaplan attributed the
fast start to a renewed confi-
dence.

“Our attitude was calm
but competitive," she said.
“We stayed even keel and
did a great job of executing
key points (early)."

Head coach Craig Skin-
ner, who was “embarrassed“
with his team’s lack of com-
petitiveness against
Auburn, noted a total
change yesterday.

“We completely reversed
it tonight," he said.

“We were composed and
had a consistent focus and
put pressure on Alabama.
We never let up.”

After dropping the third
game, the Cats squeaked out
a win in game four to earn
their first victory over Al-
abama in eight attempts.
Skinner referenced the sig-
nificance of the victory

“It was very important,"
he said.

“It’s great to win, but the
most important thing is that
(now) the players believe
that we can win. They
haven't done much of that
in a few years here."

With Skinner looking to
boost his team‘s poise as he
attempts to rebuild the pro-
gram, he said the win can be
used as assurance of the
Cats' ability.

"The big thing for us is
confidence," he said. “Our
players believe we can win
and compete with anybody."

UK’s chances yesterday
seemed slim, especially after
a disappointing perfor~
mance on Friday against
Auburn (6-3, 1-1 SEC).

The Tigers swept the
Cats 3-0, (30-28, 30-26, 30-20)
at Memorial Coliseum in a
match that left Skinner and
company searching for an
swers.

“Auburn out-competed
us," Skinner said. “It wasn't
execution. They just compet-
ed harder than we did."

Considering that Alaba-
ma swept Auburn when the
two teams met last week,
UK’s success against the

Tide was all the more im-
probable. Senior outside hit
ter Danielle Wallace attrib~
uted yesterday’s victory to
the team's desire to bounce
back.

“It was totally important
for us to come back," she
said.

“We removed to our-
selves and the rest of the
league that we are a force to

fourth quarter, freshman
cornerback David Jones re-
covered Taylor Begley’s
pooched kickoff to give UK
possession at the Florida 42-

yard line.

After a nifty option play
that netted the Cats a first
down, and a shovel pass to
Arliss Beach that moved the
chains again, Pulley made
his 18-yard scamper into the
corner of end zone to set
the Wildcats' final score.

Little, who finished the
game with 19 carries for 77
yards and a touchdown to

go with three receptions for
33 yards, was upbeat about
the offense’s effort in the
second half.

“We showed we can
move the ball," he said.
“(Pulley) opens it up a lot.
When we’re both in the
game, they don’t know who
to stop."

parking lot, and 49 at half-
time.

Sure, junior quarterback
Chris Leak threw for 319
yards and four touchdowns,
but most were small gains
and dump—offs.

And he and the Gators
also scored zero points after
halfiime.

UK has a split personality
In second quarters this year,
they may as well be putting a
middle school team on the
field.

“The second quarter
killed us. They (Florida)
outscored us 35—0 in the quar-
ter,” sophomore tight end Ja-
cob Tamme said. “As a team,
we have got to learn what to
do when we get in trouble
like that."

Figuring it out ain’t easy.

“I don’t know what it is,
honestly,” senior cornerback
Antoine Huffman said. “It’s
not the game plan. We run
the same game plan in the
second half as we did in the
first. It's just a lack of focus.”

Louisville - the Cards

score 21 unanswered in the
second quarter.

Idaho State ~ the Bengals
manage to score a go-ahead
touchdown to lead 16-14 at
halftime.

At Indiana 7 the Hoosiers
tacked on seven more points
in the second quarter to take
a 17-0 halftime advantage.

Saturday the Gators
reeled off one of the more
impressive offensive outputs
you'll see in the SEC — 35
unanswered points in the
second quarter.

Then, the Gators went
silent.

Unknown inspiration

Face it. UK could have
rolled over Saturday. Despite
facing mostly second- and
third-teamers in the second
half, UK did see Florida re-
turn to its starters.

That upset Meyer.

“1 was absolutely disgust-
ed,“ Meyer said of having to
put Gator starters back in.
“You shouldn‘t have to do
that at Florida. I was disgust-
ed."

Freshman backup quar-
terback Curtis Pulley and
company led a familiar sec-
ond half resurgence, throw-
ing together four solid dri-
ves, including one from an
onside kick and another that
was a footstep from being

UK‘s 35th point. ,

“They are still an SEC
team and they came back
like that on Louisville,” Mey-
er said. “There‘s some fight
(in Kentucky). I know their
coach (Rich Brooks) very
well and I’m proud of him."

Perhaps he was just being
nice, but the Wildcats are
playing for somebody.

“I don’t blame the fans for
leaving when you‘re down
that many points and we
played as bad as we played,"
said senior safety Muham-
mad Abdullah.

Senior center Matt Mc-
Cutchan was content with
what was left.

“I’m just glad the fans
that stuck around,” Mc-
Cutchan said.

Whether it was the dwin-
dled crowd who kept on
cheering or some of the more
inspirational coaches on the
sidelines, UK fought blindly
and forged ahead.

Whomever they are play-
ing for may end up being the
next head coach.

NOTEBOOK

I On Saturday afternoon the UK football team was embar-
rassed on national TV. yet again. Florida starting quarter-
back Chris Leak called it a day before the first half even
came to a close. making way for second-stringer Josh Portis
after the Gators tallied their 42nd unanswered point to go
up 42-7. on their way to a 49-28 victory

But another team from the Sunshine State took some of
the sting out of Wildcat fans‘ wounds »- the University of
Southern Florida manhandled Louisville 45-14, dashing
the national-
