Congrats to Coach Brooks and the guys on another good, hard fought win. Does anyone know where I can find video of Randall Cobb waving off a replacement, even though he had the busted thumb? I missed it, and I heard it was a pretty cool moment.
What former UK basketball starter scored more points for Cornell as a sub against Alabama than when he started ar UK? Mark Coury had 6 in Cornell’s victory. He probably played more minutes too!
I mentioned this on a Chip Cosby blog, but I wonder how Newton’s stats compare with Woodson’s first year as a starter. Might be a good one to look at.
