One of the things the University of Kentucky coaching staff must decide when fall camp opens is what to do with Randall Cobb .

Cobb is one of, if not the most athletic and versatile members of UK's incoming freshman class. He led Alcoa, Tenn., to two consecutive state titles while playing quarterback, yet the 5-foot-11, 180-pounder also has the tools to play wide receiver, defensive back and kick returner.

When he signed in February, Cobb was told by the UK coaching staff that he'd be given an opportunity to play quarterback. And Cobb has spent parts of his first three weeks in Lexington taking snaps in pass skeleton drills.

But there's a major logjam at the quarterback position. Junior Curtis Pulley and sophomore Mike Hartline will battle to be the starter. Redshirt sophomore Will Fidler and his surgically repaired shoulder showed enough progress for him to stake a claim for a spot in the rotation. ]]> http://www.kentucky.com/283/story/434107.html http://www.kentucky.com/283/story/434107.html Sun, 15 Jun 2008 08:24 EDT
The pre-season college football magazine circuit is in full swing, and the consensus is that the University of Kentucky will come back to earth a bit after back-to-back eight-win seasons and Music City Bowl trophies.

Phil Steele's College Football Preview, Athlon Sports and Lindy's all have the Wildcats pegged for fifth in the SEC East Division after they finished third in 2006 and fourth last year.

UK Coach Rich Brooks said he's gotten used to the slights. An article in Nashville newspaper The Tennessean earlier this month even suggested that Brooks was on the hot seat.

.I really don't feel like I have to answer to the magazines, but that's how they always pick us,. Brooks said. .Last year, we were coming off an eight-win season, beat Clemson in the Music City Bowl, had most of our team back, and the magazines still picked us fifth.. ]]> http://www.kentucky.com/283/story/427591.html http://www.kentucky.com/283/story/427591.html Sun, 08 Jun 2008 01:52 EDT
The eight-week summer session started Thursday at the University of Kentucky, meaning incoming freshmen football players were able to enroll in classes and join the returnees in on-campus workouts.

UK doesn't release an official list of players who enroll in the summer, but most of the freshmen who have met academic eligibility requirements are expected to be in Lexington when the six-week summer session starts in two weeks.

Matt Roark is one of the freshmen who arrived last week for classes and workouts. The 6-foot-6, 190-pound Roark is expected to be given a look at quarterback when fall camp opens, so he'll use this time to work out, do some throwing and get acclimated to college life. Roark is rooming with Collins Ukwu , a 6-4, 210-pound defensive end from LaVergne, Tenn.

.You're trying to get a head start,. Roark said. .It's not real hectic around town right now, everything's calm, so you can get a chance to learn the area and meet some people.. ]]>
