“We’re going to run it empty this week.”

LEXINGTON, Ky (WTVQ) – Five games into the season, the UK football team has been in five absolute battles.

The Cats have been in close games…most within one score late.

So does that take a toll on a team so early in the season?

Mark Stoops admits it does, but he wants to get one more hard fought week out of his squad before their bye week.
