Rich Brooks Quotations

If we don't stop the game and look at it at that point in time on a pivotal play I don't understand it. And I know we have some wrinkles to work out with instant replay, but I'm just bothered that we didn't stop and review it.

That doesn't mean anything this week. We have a bunch of players on this year's team who have never played against Indiana, so they don't know what has happened previously.

We're a team that has been decimated by the injury bug. I've had bad injury years, but this one is almost beyond comprehension.

You have to be excited about a guy like Micah Johnson. Not only his physical abilities, but his leadership and his dedication in the recruiting process to help us by staying in touch and contacting other recruits. Two guys he spoke to long before he committed to us and he kind of wanted to see if they would join him at Kentucky were Josh Minton and Corey Peters, and darned if they're not all here.

It would be nice to see John step up, ... This is a great opportunity for him. If he's ever going to do it, this is a chance for him to rise to the occasion.

It just makes me sick to my stomach that we were close to doing something that would have been very significant and again, we come up just short on it. We had our chances.

I don't know why we have instant replay if we won't at least look at it,

I think Ravi has the ability to come out and help us. We'll see what happens.

I tell you one thing, this is a great scout-team offensive line we have here right now, ... That's what you look for. Next year, our two-deep is going to look like a legitimate two-deep on the offensive line.

I still feel very good about our team. I still think we're going to be a much-improved football team, ... We can talk about it all we want. Now we have to go out and prove it.
