Mark Stoops on Devin Leary, o-line and injuries as Kentucky football returns to the field

LEXINGTON — Kentucky football opened spring practice Monday, marking the team's first time on the field since Dec. 31, when it lost to Iowa in the Music City Bowl.

"Got a beautiful day to start practice," said coach Mark Stoops, who is in his 11th year leading the Wildcats. "Our guys have worked really hard for the winter. The rules allow us to do a few more walkthroughs with football, (which) was good for us."

This spring marks the return of Liam Coen as offensive coordinator after a one-year hiatus; he spent last season in the same role with the Los Angeles Rams.
