The calendar read Friday, but the action on the field at the Nutter Training Facility said otherwise.With fall camp nearing its conclusion and UK’s season opener in barely a week, the Wildcats shifted their attention to preparing for UT Martin.”We had a normal what would be a Tuesday of game week this week to get that ironed out, and it was good work,” Mark Stoops said. “It was good to wrap it up. Players will be done for the rest of the day, get to relax a little bit and get their feet up underneath them.”A typical Tuesday practice includes some team work along with work for the offense and defense against the opposing scout team. According to UK’s offensive coordinator, the Wildcats took well to the shift away from the grind they’ve become accustomed to this month.”We had really our first day against the scout team look today and I thought we had really good energy for a hot, muggy day, which was encouraging,” Neal Brown said. “I think guys are excited about getting into game prep. Had a kind of a little jog through yesterday, but our focus was good. Made some mistakes but overall thought it was a positive day.”Not only was the day positive, it was also full of news.On the injury front, Stoops announced that Alex Montgomery (recovery from knee surgery) and Jeff Badet (eye) will miss UK’s season opener. Badet is improving after injuring his eye in practice catching tennis balls, but will be out at least the first two weeks of the season. Outside of those two sophomore wide receivers, Stoops expects UK to be at full strength on Aug. 30.Full strength for the Wildcats includes at least nine freshmen. Stoops said on Friday that defensive tackle Matt Elam, defensive back Kendall Randolph, wide receivers Blake Bone, Garrett Johnson, Dorian Baker, Thaddeus Snodgrass and T.V. Williams and running backs Stanley “Boom” Williams and Mikel Horton will all play week one.Perhaps the biggest surprises in the group are the two running backs, as UK has veterans Braylon Heard, Jojo Kemp and Josh Clemons at their position. Brown, however, in detailing why he expects the Wildcat offense to improve this season, made it clear there will be ample carries to go around.”The biggest difference is right now on offense, running back is our deepest position,” Brown said. “My job is to get the ball to our best players, and right now, several of our top playmakers are at that running back position.”The plan for the remaining freshmen is to redshirt them if circumstances permit. But aware of how quickly things can change, they will all prepare to play, including quarterback Drew Barker.”I think that would be in his best interest and our best interest,” Stoops said of redshirting Barker. “We’ll see how that goes. He will prepare to play in a backup role, and if we can save him through the season that’s what we’d like to do.”
