The Kentucky football team held its second practice of the spring on Monday morning. To follow up a solid day of work on Saturday, the Wildcats took another step forward.”Guys had good energy for a Monday morning, came out and had a real good practice,” Mark Stoops said. “Still obviously got a lot of work to do, but overall pleased, pleased with their attitude, their effort. Playing a little bit cleaner. There weren’t as many footballs on the ground today and execution was a touch better. Just overall pleased with the effort. Continuing to get better and work hard.”Stoops is preparing for his third season as UK head coach and is already noticing growth from his first two springs with his team. The evolution continues.”It’s just another year in the program,” Stoops said. “As we would expect, just more progress, more bodies, a little bit cleaner, more efficient in what we’re doing. We’re certainly further ahead than we were day two last spring, but we should be, and that’s good to see.”Under Stoops, UK has been blessed with continuity on the coaching staff for the most part, but a new face has been added to the equation this spring. Shannon Dawson is replacing Neal Brown as offensive coordinator and though two coaches’ scheme is similar, there’s learning to be done. That’s especially true when it comes to communication.”They’re getting signals from me, and then they’re communicating with the group,” Dawson said of quarterbacks Patrick Towles and Drew Barker. “That’s all like learning a new language. It’s like if I told you to learn Spanish in two days. That’d be tough, right? I mean just communication is — and you’ve got some miscommunication. You’ve got the quarterback flashing signals quickly to the receiver and the receiver not getting it, which is typical.”
