Getting the hard yards

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – Getting the hard yards.

That’s a big focus for the football Cats this season.

When the other team knows you’re going to run the ball…and you still get what you need to move the chains.

Last season alone UK converted just 62 of 183 third downs.

Opponents were able to convert 79 of 181 third down attempts.

So how does head coach Mark Stoops feel about his team’s ability to get those tough yards this season…and stop the other guys on the flip side?

Hear from Stoops in the video.
