In case you missed it, we are now officially under 50 days from the start of the 2022 Kentucky football season. That’s right — only 48 days until kickoff, folks. For many UK football fans, the No. 48 will always be reserved for a special man.
No. 48 Joey Couch
To say Joey Couch is an Eastern Kentucky legend would be an understatement. Couch graduated from Paintsville High School in 1987, where he earned All-State honorable mention three times for his work on the football field. He played linebacker, tight end and fullback for the Tigers.
