Rich Brooks Guys Quotations

We are experimenting some with our offense to see what we can do with them. I still want to see if Tony can do everything on the football field that he did in conditioning. I'm comfortable with either one of those guys having the ball in their hands because they both are real threats. It just makes sense to try and have both of them on the field at the same time.

We just have some good young skill guys and I think we're going to be able to continue to make some good plays,

I was extremely pleased with the way our guys are running around, how physical we are and how we're hitting people.

We'll miss Tony. He's one of our breakaway guys and I'm disappointed for him because he got a 3.5 (grade point average) during summer school and has done a great job getting back on track academically.

That's what happens when you get Jacob Tamme at tight end. All of a sudden, those other guys don't get quite as many snaps.

You look at the tight ends we had out here practicing. We had four guys who have never taken a snap, and I promise you we're going to be pretty good at tight end.

You have to be excited about a guy like Micah Johnson. Not only his physical abilities, but his leadership and his dedication in the recruiting process to help us by staying in touch and contacting other recruits. Two guys he spoke to long before he committed to us and he kind of wanted to see if they would join him at Kentucky were Josh Minton and Corey Peters, and darned if they're not all here.

Running backs take a beating because the guys chasing them are bigger, stronger and faster than at any time in the history of the game. I'd love to have a guy you can hand the ball 25 times a game and he'd always get 100 yards, but that's not an easy thing these days.

I've had other guys try to influence recruits, but never as demonstratively as Micah. He didn't want to be the only top recruit ... he wanted to get us some help down here.

Hopefully, we'll get in some good fundamental work and get some guys healthy. We've got some guys that need to freshen up.

It's the most unbelievable thing I've ever been around. I hope we've put the injuries past us. We'll have to see if some of these other guys can play.

We got all the guys committed and we got the jelly doughnut in Corey Peters.
