The future of the Kentucky football team took the field for a scrimmage Thursday morning.
UK’s redshirts and backups scrimmaged at Nutter Fieldhouse Thursday while the starters watched from the sidelines. Earlier in the week, head coach Joker Phillips called it a big scrimmage for the young guys because they were the future of the UK football program.
I didn’t make it out to Thursday’s scrimmage, but Ben Jones of the Kentucky Kernel has a pretty good write-up on what happened at the Kernel’s blog. By the looks of Jones’ report, defensive tackle Mister Cobble was the star.
Cobble recorded a sack and was constantly around the ball despite frequent double teams. According to Jones, he may be the best defensive tackle right now on UK’s entire roster.
Jones also reports that quarterback Ryan Mossakowski looked much improved from the spring. Second-string QB Morgan Newton went down with a sprained ankle.
