It’s been a little light on football on here this week (Joker Phillips’ weekly game plan is on the way). Fortunately for me, there are a couple of really good football stories out in the media for you to get your weekly football fix. Click on the links below:

– Sports Illustrated has a feature on Randall Cobb and his multi-position talents.

On the play-by-play sheets from University of Kentucky football games, Randall Cobb’s name is omnipresent.

There’s Cobb returning the kickoff. Then Cobb catching a pass. Cobb making plays any way his coaches can imagine — throwing, running, catching or returning, darting and shape-shifting his way downfield. And once he’s propelled his team to the end zone, Cobb never trots immediately to the sideline.

He still has to hold the extra point.

When he’s not performing his day job as the Wildcats’ star receiver/quarterback/return specialist, Cobb moonlights as the team’s PAT and field-goal holder. It’s a role typically reserved for punters and backup quarterbacks, but for Cobb, holding kicks is just another way to get his hands on the football.

“Why not?” said Cobb of his role as a holder.

– The Kentucky Kernel, UK’s independent daily student newspaper, writes on linebacker Danny Trevathan, who continues to lead the Southeastern Conference in tackles.

Danny Trevathan is the UK football team’s version of the ‘Waterboy.’

“When I see somebody take the ball, I think like they stole from me or something and I’m trying to get it back,” the junior linebacker said. “I just have an attack mentality like Bobby Boucher; all of negative stuff in my life, I try to apply it to the field.”

Although Trevathan said that he doesn’t watch the movie with Adam Sandler reprising the role of Bobby Boucher very much now that he’s grown up, the Leesburg, Fla., native has also matured into a formidable defensive force.
