Kentucky Ends Spring Practice Week 1 by Punching Defense in the Nose

The Kentucky football team concluded the spring practice introduction with a day in shoulder pads. Before taking a week off for spring break, Mark Stoops let his players get after it. The two sides traded barbs, which was not always the case a year ago.

“It was a little bit of ebb and flow throughout practice I thought today,” said defensive coordinator Brad White. “There were some periods where I thought the defense looked good, but I thought some where we looked sluggish and the offense looked like they had more energy. We closed solid, but in that last period I thought the offense came out fired up and punched the guys in the nose.
