Offensive coordinator Neal Brown left the field on Tuesday praising Kentucky’s preparation.Based on what D.J. Eliot said on Wednesday, the Wildcats are piling up good practices ahead of a trip to LSU on Saturday.”We had a very good practice today,” Eliot said. “We had a lot of intensity. Guys were flying around, communicating, playing physical and making plays. That’s what we needed to have on a Wednesday.”The good start to LSU week comes on the heels of a game on Saturday in which UK started slow and fell behind 14-3 early in the first quarter. Practicing well is one sign the slow start won’t repeat itself at 7:30 p.m. ET on Saturday.”We’ve had a very good practice this week,” Eliot said. “Last week, couldn’t necessarily tell at the moment, but obviously that was the case to start the game on Saturday. So I think that this week we’ve had good tempo and good practice, and guys are ready.”In spite of the way UK started against ULM, the Wildcats were improved in run defense after the Gamecocks gashed them a week earlier. UK allowed just 77 yards on 40 carries against the Warhawks.”We were much better,” Eliot said. “We played better against the run. Linebackers played better, which is good. Khalid Henderson had one of his best games. And it was good to see us make those strides.”Considering the way true freshman Leonard Fournette (140 yards and two touchdowns against Florida) has been running in LSU’s pro-style attack, the Cats will need to be on their game again this weekend.”He is a very, very, very good tailback,” Eliot said. “He is extremely athletic but yet has size where he can run you over too. And he’s become a better player every game. Being a freshman, he doesn’t have any college experience and you can see the improvement in him every single game. And he sees the hole very well. He has great vision, change of direction and, like I said, power.”
