In terms of season-saving wins, the Kentucky football team will be hard pressed to find a bigger win the rest of the year than the one it snatched Saturday night against No. 10 South Carolina.Had Kentucky bowed out after halftime and fallen to 3-4 on the season, 0-4 in the Southeastern Conference, the chances of achieving something special this year would have been slim-to-none, especially with conference foes Georgia, Mississippi State and Tennessee still on the schedule. At 4-3 and 1-3 in the conference, UK is actually back in the SEC East division hunt. No team in the East has more than two wins in the league.With momentum shifted, how will the Kentucky players handle the swing? Head coach Joker Phillips said he is not worried about his team’s ability to handle prosperity.”Our team is starting to grow right before our eyes,” Phillips said on his Sunday teleconference. “They’ve been great in responding to everything that we’ve asked them to get up for. After a tough loss to Florida, after a tough loss at Ole Miss, they responded. After a tough loss to Auburn, they responded. I have nothing but respect for them and I know that they will respond to the success that they just had this week.”UK came extremely close to marching itself right out of Saturday’s game. The South Carolina offense bludgeoned Kentucky’s defense in the first half and ran out to a 28-10 lead before halftime. Had UK not forced a turnover late in the first half – the Cats forced three in the first two quarters – a comeback likely never happens. “The turnover right before the half (was big),” Phillips said. “It was 28-10 and it looked like they were about to score again. They complete a pass down the middle of the field and Danny (Trevathan) causes a turnover and we get it back. I think that gave us momentum. If they score then, you’re down 35-10. I think that was the turning point in my opinion. It gave our kids a chance to win.”Cobb makes youthful mistake on Twitter: The social media world has opened up a new avenue for student-athletes, coaches and fans to express themselves in the modern world, both for the good and bad.On Sunday, junior Randall Cobb experienced the negative effects of it.A day after the win over South Carolina, Cobb, one of the team’s leaders, took to his Twitter account to voice his frustration over a faction of fans that he felt like were not supporting the team enough. Cobb later deleted the “tweets” and sent a thank you to the fans who have stuck by the program.”To all the fans that has been true to this program throughout the years. Yall deserved a win like that last night! Let’s keep it going!” tweeted Cobb, who caught the game-winning touchdown pass Saturday, moving him into sole possession on UK’s all-time touchdown list with 33 scores. Phillips said he was aware of what Cobb said and attributed the lapse in judgment to Cobb’s youth.”Everybody knows and understands how passionate of a player he is, of how passionate he is about this team, of how passionate he is about his teammates, of how passionate he is about the University of Kentucky football program,” Phillips said. “He’s a 19-, 20-year-old kid that doesn’t always understand how to deal with people reacting the way that he didn’t think that they should react.”Phillips said it’s taken most of his life to gain that understanding.”I’m 47 years old and I’m really just now figuring out how not to react to those things,” Phillips said. “Randall is a young, passionate player. The reason why he’s so successful is because he is so passionate about what he does. He doesn’t always understand why people might criticize him or his players. I know he will be very apologetic because he does care about the people in the locker room and he cares about the people across the state of Kentucky, obviously, with all the things that he does in this community. He loves this place. He will make this home. I really think that he’ll make this home one day.”Several college football teams have banned their players from using Twitter this season. North Carolina was the latest to do it as UNC coach Butch Davis banned his players from using Twitter on Oct. 15.Phillips, who has more than 16,000 followers on Twitter, said he’s thought about banning his players from using the social media application but added that he wants his players to be able to express themselves.”I’ve thought about banning it,” Phillips said. “We’ll continue to think about it and we’ll try to make a decision. One thing we’ve got to try to do is get our arms around it for sure. I have thought about banning it, but I also want to give these guys a chance to express themselves, but not express themselves that might harm someone else. I don’t want that. We’ve got to get a little bit smarter in doing it.”Locke’s status uncertain for Georgia: One of the most overlooked feats of beating nationally ranked South Carolina was that UK managed to do it without its star running back Derrick Locke.Locke, the team’s leading rusher, missed Saturday’s game with a shoulder stinger. In his absence, sophomore Donald Russell, freshman Raymond Sanders and Cobb split carries. UK totaled 52 yards on 33 carries.Locke’s status for Georgia is uncertain.”He’s a lot better today than he was this week and actually a lot better than he was yesterday, but he’s still doubtful,” Phillips said. “We’re hoping that he continues to improve this past week. It’s day-to-day. If he continues to improve the way he did this past week, we think we may have a chance to get him back.”Hartline earns awards: Two weeks ago quarterback Mike Hartline was receiving a bit of unfair criticism from people. Now he’s receiving awards.The College Football Performance Awards named Hartline one of three National Performers of the Week after Hartline threw for a career-high 349 yards and four touchdowns on 32-of-42 passing in the win over South Carolina. Hartline and Phillips also earned praise from ESPN blogger Chris Low, who handed out two of his five “helmet stickers” to the quarterback and head coach.Here is what Low had to say about both:  Kentucky quarterback Mike Hartline: Making a strong bid as the SEC’s most improved player this season, Hartline was also long on courage Saturday night. He stood in there repeatedly against a fierce South Carolina rush and completed 32 of 42 passes for 349 yards, for four touchdowns and no interceptions. His 24-yard scoring pass to Randall Cobb on a fourth-and-7 play was the game-winner for the Wildcats in their 31-28 victory over the Gamecocks. Hartline, who’s been through the ringer during his career at Kentucky, threw three of his touchdowns in the second half to rally the Wildcats from a 28-10 halftime deficit.Kentucky coach Joker Phillips: A lot of teams would have folded their tents after getting down 28-10, especially coming off three straight losses. But there’s a toughness and a resilience about the Wildcats that reflects their head coach. Their 31-28 comeback win over South Carolina was Kentucky’s first ever over a Steve Spurrier-coached team, and props go out to Phillips for keeping his team in tune mentally and emotionally during a very difficult stretch.
