The Joker Phillips era got off on the right foot with the Kentucky football team’s fourth straight victory over archrival Louisville, but not all was perfect in the week-one win over the Cardinals.Despite manhandling Louisville offensively in the first half by outgaining the Cardinals 271-102 before halftime, UK allowed U of L to creep back into the game in the third quarter, even affording the Cards a chance to tie the game in the fourth quarter.Penalties, third-down conversions and special-teams blunders were the biggest culprits for the near comeback, three things that need to be cleaned up before the Cats’ home opener against Western Kentucky on Saturday, head coach Joker Phillips said Sunday on his weekly postgame teleconference.”Although a lot of guys have experience, we’re still a young football team,” Phillips said. “We’ve got to learn how to finish. We talked about wanting to set the tempo, which is one of the reasons we took the ball. … We’ve got to understand how to put the game away.”Phillips pointed to two drives in particular where Kentucky had the chance to seal the outcome. The first drive came early in the fourth quarter when the Cats drove all the way down to the U of L 2-yard line. Ultimately, though, UK came up empty after a false start penalty and a missed field goal.On the ensuing Louisville drive, Kentucky turned what appeared to be a turnover on downs into fresh set of downs when linebacker Ridge Wilson was flagged for roughing the passer on fourth-and-17.”Our kids played hard (but) they didn’t always play smart,” Phillips said. “We had way too many penalties, which is a no-no for Kentucky. Kentucky doesn’t beat Kentucky. You can beat yourself when you have the type of penalties in crucial situations, especially when you’re trying to get yourself off the field on defense.”Phillips will also take a long look at his special teams this week, particularly at the field-goal kicking position. Ryan Tydlacka won the job in fall camp, beating out highly acclaimed freshman kicker Joe Mansour, but the junior kicker missed an extra-point attempt in the first quarter and a chip shot from 25 yards out in the fourth.Phillips said Mansour, who was named the National Kickoff Specialist of the Week by the College Football Performance Awards after booting three touchbacks out of five kickoffs, will get an extra look in practice this week.”When you’ve got a young guy as talented as Joe Mansour, you always have to have competition because any day the light can kick on with him,” Phillips said. “He could be an outstanding kicker for us for the rest of his career here, so we’re always going to be evaluating.”The important thing for Phillips’ team is that the mistakes did not result in a season-opening loss.”I think it’s the best time to have some great teaching points is when you win and also don’t play exceptionally well, and we did not,” Phillips said. “We played good at times, but there was a little lull in there that we’ve got a chance now to teach from. You lose games like that.”Crawford suspended for WKU: Senior defensive tackle Mark Crawford has been suspended for this week’s game against Western Kentucky for a violation of team rules.”We’ve got to keep moving,” Phillips said. “We’ll discipline him, he’ll get everything corrected and then we’ll have him back in two weeks.”Clean bill of health: With the exception of a couple of bumps and bruises, Phillips said his team made it out of week one with no major injuries. Linebacker Avery Williamson tweaked a hamstring but is expected to be back this week.Tickets still available: Tickets for this week’s WKU game are still available, in addition to remaining season tickets for the 2010 season. The ticket office at the Joe Craft Center will be open Labor Day (Monday) from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
