13-4 +12.30 units last week; back on the positive side for the season, barely
played the Cats this morning at Bookmaker..
This is a MUST WIN with the Dawgs and Vols right around the corner..
Kentucky -3 -110 (2u)
Pretty good news on the injury front, offensively...
Brooks stated yesterday that Rafael Little will start Saturday @ Vandy. He's practicing at 100%, but his conditioning probably isn't quite up to 100%. RB Tony Dixon worked out a couple days ago and that ankle flared up on him, so he's listed as questionable. WR Keenan Burton WILL start Saturday... here are some quotes from Burton
.......................................................................................................
On having a bye week…
“It gave us a chance to get back in the field and be fresh. We have had the opportunity to put everything in perspective and get ready for this big game against Vanderbilt. We are back to business and we have been working on getting back to the basics. It is time for us to start taking one game at a time and we are doing that.”
On his injuries….
“I feel good and excited. No one can tell me anything in practice this week about my injuries. I’m ready to go. I’m just excited to be back on the field and feeling healthy. I don’t know how many reps I will get in practice in this week because I am getting back into the swing of things. I am feeling really good and just enjoying it now and feeling 100 percent is the best news to me.”
On playing Vanderbilt…
“They will definitely be fired up for us. We will be fighting, too. Just because we have six wins does not guarantee us a bowl game. So, what they are going through trying to get to a bowl game is the same thing we are going through here at Kentucky.”
On his health…
“I practiced yesterday and I am getting used to cutting and all. I was a little tentative at first so I got on the turf because of the harder surface to see what I could do and I did pretty well. I’m excited because I’m healthier than I have been for a while.”

Vandy needs one more win to become bowl eligible for the first time since '82. Cats are very aware that six wins may not do the trick in terms of getting them into a bowl, even though they're eligible. This game is just as big for the Cats in terms of keeping their fan base interested with hoops rolling in and deeming this year a successful one. They cannot afford to lose their third straight, especially with UGA and UT around the corner. I am excited about having the leader of this team back out on the field in Burton. Little and Burton will provide that senior leadership we lacked when we were pinned up against the wall at home the week before last. Vandy runs two qb's out there who can both run and pass, which will give our defense fits. We really struggled against Nickson last year with the option and run, so me thinks we'll be seeing a good ole shootout. Vandy possesses one of the best WR's in the nation in Earl Bennett - kid is a freak. On the other side of the ball Vandy has been more than impressive this year and they'll bring all kinds of pressure and blitz packages at our front. The defensive unit has carried them all year. There isn't a defense that has slowed us yet when we're healthy on offense, so I'm not worried about getting our points Saturday. The bye week was HUGE for us. We really needed a week to freshen up and refocus - couldn't have come at a better time imo. Cats look to defeat Vandy for the 4th consecutive time - we should see a great game Saturday..
