Joker Phillips spoke to the media after UK’s practice on Tuesday in preparation for a weekend matchup with Jacksonville State. Phillips was pleased with the team’s effort on the day and is excited about seeing his team on the field for the first time in two weeks.”We had a good practice,” Phillips said. “I’m looking forward to watching them play to see how much improvement we’ve made.”Phillips, though, knows perceived improvement on the practice field means only so much.”It doesn’t matter how much we’ve improved out here,” Phillips said. “It only matters on Saturday.”It has been nearly a month since UK played a home game and longer since the Cats have picked up a win. With those two factors at play, Phillips expects to see a motivated bunch take the field on Saturday.”We haven’t been home in a while,” Phillips said. “We haven’t won in a while. I expect them to come out with fire ready to play.”
