UK seniors seek successful send-off

Cats hope perseverance, luck result in postseason bowl appearance

-By Alex Williams
STAFF WRITER

For the 14 seniors on the UK football squad,
their college careers have been anything but
smooth.

For starters, take the three head coaches
they’ve had. Throw in probation for the misdo-
ings of Hal Mumme‘s staff that kept them from
participating in a bowl last season and add in
back-to-back 2-9 seasons.

That can equal a recipe for disaster, the
kind of things that set a program back 10 years.
But the seniors on this year‘s team are ready for
a change. Coming into this season they want to
forget all the disappointment from years past
and capitalize their final season in the Blue and
White with an appearance in a bowl game.

“Obviously. it would be good, very good. I‘d
love to end my career with a bowl (appear-
ance)." quarterback Jared Lorenzen said. “That
would make my career go full-circle really. I‘ve
been through a lot of stuff here. The team went
2-9 two seasons in a row. to finally go 7-5 and not
go to a bowl. So this would be a great year for us
to do it."

The seniors' character will be the backbone
of the team. Having been dealt several heavy
blows with no fault of their own throughout

their career, the seniors can count head coach
Rich Brooks as their biggest supporter.

“With everything they’ve been through I
think they’ve handled the transition extremely
well," Brooks said. “And I just hope with all of
my hope that we can make things happen for
them, pull together and send them to a bowl
game.”

As with many things luck will play an im-
portant part to win the magical six games to be
eligible for a bowl game. Last year’s team es-
caped the year with no major injuries to key
players and it resulted in a 7-5 record. This year
the luck must run a little longer, Lorenzen said.

“It’s going to take a lot of luck with the in-
juries," he said. “We need to keep the injuries
down to a complete minimum.

“We need to keep working hard. study as
hard as we possibly can because if we don’t.
there ain‘t a shot in hell for us."

What makes this group of seniors special is
their attitude, senior center Nick Seitze said.
They could have transferred or quit but they
persevered. hoping things would get better. In
their minds the adversity they’ve faced has
made them a better team and they want to build

: Opening day sets tone,
gets ball rolling for rivals

First impressions mean everything.

Right or wrong. most fans will make
up their minds up about Rich Brooks‘

Cats and Bobby Petrino‘s Cards after Sun-
day’s game. Neither side can afford an em.
barrassing start.

Replacing the successful and popular
Guy Morriss. Brooks faces something un-
usual for a UK football coach - high expec-
tations.

His hiring received only a lukewarm ___________
reception. Many questioned the decision. mm
pointing to Brooks' tw0-year hiatus from
football and his losing records at the University of Oregon
and with the St. Louis Rams of the NFL.

Even as the opener draws near. questions swirl around
Brooks. His stats and records are known. but no one knows
what that will mean here at UK. Sure. Brooks comes across
as a likable. intelligent man in interviews and on television.
But will this equal wins on the field?

Brooks faces the doubts and questions of fans and critics
alike; Sunday will be his first chance to answer the un~
knowns and and silence his critics. A loss could turn the
whispered doubts into a roar.

Like Brooks. Louisville head coach Petrino has his skep-
tics. With no experience as a head coach. Sunday‘s contest
will be a true baptism by fire.

Petrino does inherit a program that has made great
strides in the past few seasons. The end of last season. how—
ever. saw the Cardinals self-destructing.

As Marshall was humiliating Louisville in the GMAC
Bowl on the field. players and coaches on the sidelines were
learning of Coach John L. Smith's imminent departue on
their cell phones. Back-to-back blowout losses. coupled with
the departure of Coach Smith and key veterans like Dave
Ragone, equaled an off-season of uncertainty and discontent.

How Petrino fares on Sunday may determine his

ability to rebqu the trust and confidence of this squad.

A good start by the Cardinals would erase last year's dis-
appointments and would restore the swagger Louisville lost a
year ago. More importantly, a Cardinal victory over the Cats
smoothes the road to a bowl game. With an opening win. the
Conference USA schedule looks good for the Cards.

A bowl game is the missing piece in Jared Lorenzen’s re
sume. the happy ending to a whirlwind career at UK.

Entering this season, the same questions hang over
Lorenzen's head. Can he play quarterback at his weight?
What kind of shape is he in?

For four years, he has heard the critics and the comedi-
ans. The fat jokes must be getting old by now. The whole
”offensive-linemanplaying-quarterback" must seem stale,
too.

For Lorenzen. this season is his final chance to respond
to the doubters. It is his final opportunity to prove himself, to
realize his full potential. Lorenzen is playing for wins this
season. but he is also audtioning for his future; success this
year could equal a spot in the NFL.

Above all, Lorenzen understands the importance of an
impressive start. In 2001, a poor performance against
Louisville cost Lorenzen his starting job. Last year, his mas-
tery of the Cards set the tone for his junior campaign. He
needs to win again this year, because time is running out.

The coaches aren’t the only newcomers. Louisville will
have numerous first-time starters, including junior quarter-
back Stefan LeFors. Having attempted only seven passes in
his career. he will finally emerge from the shadow of Dave
Ragone. UK will have its share of newcomers, including true
freshman wide receiver Keenan Burton.

All will take to a national stage for the first time, as the
Cats and Cards battle for respect. Both need a win, but avoid—
ing embarassment might be just as important.

However, the seniors happens once,” Seitz said. “A

 

we want to have a kind of a
legacy: We started something.

Continued from page A1

a legacy for the younger play
ers on the squad to follow.
“There‘s been nothing
but adversity and nothing but
growing up with the group of
guys that I‘ve come in with."
Seitze said. "And now there's
only a handful left and i think
these guys are the heart and
soul of this team and it‘s be-
cause of all this adversity.
“When we get out of here

We started a foundation for
the guys that are coming in.
If that could happen then I
think it will have all been
worth it."

That legacy will certainly
get a kick‘start if the team
achieves its ultimate goal of a
bowl game. Be it the Outback
Bowl. Music City Bowl or
even the Cotton Bowl. this
crew of seniors will do what
it takes to make sure their fi-
nal game in a Kentucky uni
form isn't against Tennessee
on Nov. 29.

 

 

know things don‘t always
work out the way they’re sup
posed to. A number of things
could happen: the aforemen-
tioned injuries. academic pro-
bation or friction between the
players and the new coaching
staff is all it could take to
make a promising season he-
come bleak.

Brooks said the maturity
the seniors instill is what dis-
tinguishes them. While a few
of the seniors will play in the
NFL. not all are as fortunate.

“I think we all look at as
our senior season; it only

lot of guys this might be
there last opportunity and for
couple they might have a
chance to move on. But this is
our last season to play college
football. I think that's the way
you have to look at it, just go
out every game and play one
game at a time and have fun,
leave nothing on the field and
just have a good year.”

And if it’s good enough,
they’ll earn a coveted bowl
appearance that has eluded
them so far. _

Jared Lorenzen and
Shane Boyd may laugh about
it, but defending both quar-
terbacks at the same time
could be no laughing matter
for Louisville.

This two-quarterback of—
fense is hardly conservative.
said UK head coach Rich
Brooks. But he wants to uti-
lize the players that he has.

UK offensive coordinator
Ron Hudson had a problem
with Boyd serving as a back-
up to Lorenzen. 80, Hudson
will play Boyd anywhere and
everywhere he can.

Boyd will line up at
quarterback, tailback. re-
ceiver and even in shotgun
with Lorenzen.

“They are so many times
where we sit in shotgun and
just start laughing because
(the defense) goes crazy."
Lorenzen said. “They don‘t
know who the ball is going to
be snapped to."

Hudson will hope to uti-
lize this attack to create a
high-powered scoring arse—
nal. While at Kansas State.
Hudson‘s offenses were rou-
tinely amongst the top scor-
ing teams in the nation.

Boyd and Lorenzen will
not be alone on offense. UK

Leonard Burress will get
some help from his friends
this fall.

The UK cornerback is
hoping to thrive in a new de-
fense that will use less man-
to-man coverage and more
zone coverage.

“In a way it is a little bit
more of a relief for me.“
Burress said. “I have no
problem guarding receivers
one-on-one, but when you do
it constantly. they scheme to
beat it."

And scheme they have.
Despite a 76 record in 2002.
UK ranked next to last in the
SEC in pass defense cate-
gories of yards and efficien-
cy UK allowed 226.9 yards
per game last season.

Whenever the corner-
back gets beat. he often re-
ceives harsh criticism.

“You are going to get

said that there will be times
where one side would play
man and the other zone.

“It is a nice mix to keep
the quarterback off bal-
ance." UK defensive backs
coach Steve Brown said.
“The receivers don't know if
we are going to play off.
butnp-and-run. jam them and
play cover two.“

The new defense is wel-
comed by the secondary.

“They are liking the fact
that there is a change up."
Brown said. “The fact that
they get to see the quarter-
back throw the ball will give
them the opportunity to
make some interceptions."

Still with L'K‘s pass de-

tier of the SE(‘ for most of
the last decade. Burress is
hoping that now is the time
for a change.

“I think this defense is
going to get the respect that
we have been looking for."
Burress said. “It is going to
be a real tough defense to
beat."

ADVANTAGES

The Kernel checks out five key areas that may tip the
scales in Sunday’s Governor’s Cup between Kentucky
and Louisville

 

OUARTERBACK

The Round Mound of Touchdown
still comes in looking more like a line-
man, but Cardinal QB Stefan LeFors has
only thrown seven passes in his collegiate
career. Advatage: Kentucky

 

 

 

RUNNING BACKS

The Cats enter this year with uncer-
tainty as to who can fill the play making
shoes of Artose Pinner. For the Cards
transfer Eric Shelton returns home to
Lexington and looks to put up big num-
bers. Advantage: Louisville

 

OFFENSIVE LINE

The Cards O-line couldn't protect
Dave Ragone from UK's pass rush last
season. They have the same squad with
an additional year of experience. For
UK. preseason All-SEC Antonio Hall an-
chors the line. Advantage: Kentucky

 

 

 

 

SECONDARY

UK returns with Leonard Burress,
Bo Smith and Earven Flowers. U of L
starts a freshman at one corner and a
senior at the other, their only returning
starter. Advantage: Kentucky

 

 

SPECIAL TEAMS

UK loses All-American punter Glenn
Pakulak; Cards may enjoy good field po-
sition. U of Us Broderick Clark can run
it back against UK. Derek Abney looks
to continue his record‘breaking pace as
return specialist. Advantage: Tie
