Kentucky Football Countdown: 73 days till Kickoff

The Kentucky football season draws near. While DeAndre Square and Chris Rodriguez put in extra work at the Joe Craft Football Training Facility, let’s break down the most significant 73s.

#73 Sam Ball

A survivor of Charlie Bradshaw’s Thin Thirty, Sam Ball is one of the best offensive linemen in school history. A three-year letterman from 1963-65, he was a first team All-SEC and first team All-American in his final season at Kentucky. Ball played five seasons with the Baltimore Colts, appearing in two Super Bowls, before he was inducted into the UK Ring of Honor.
