Kirby Smart shares what he’s expecting from Kentucky offense
Kentucky‘s offense struggled mightily against South Carolina in Week 2, setting up the Wildcats as four touchdown underdogs against No. 1 Georgia this weekend.
Ahead of their Week 3 matchup, Bulldogs head coach Kirby Smart explained what it’s like to face a team with a brand new offensive coordinator. In Kentucky’s case, they’ve changed coordinators in each of the past five seasons. Being a former SEC East opponent, Georgia has had to face all five.

“When you change coordinators, then you change offenses, right? I mean, there’s different tendencies and things like that, but their coordinators have been really successful,” Smart told reporters on Tuesday. “They’ve had good quarterback transfers. They’ve had guys come in there and play, and, you know, he’s had coordinators move on. He’s made some changes. But, you know, you prepare for the guys that’s there.
“When you look at history, too, we go back and watch games against them and things like that. But we’re preparing for the coordinator that’s there now.”

After pitching a 31-point shutout against Southern Miss in the season opener, UK mustered just 44 passing yards as both quarterbacks Brock Vandargriff and Gavin Wimsatt combined for 6 of 17 passing with an interception each. The running game would have been impressive if it weren’t for the Wildcats 11 penalties that negated much of those would-be yards.
Smart also spoke highly of Mark Stoops. Despite continuously having to replace his offensive coordinator, he’s been able to maintain strong recruiting class for Kentucky’s standards and brings his team ready to play a physical brand of football. Smart speaks to Kentucky’s toughness on an almost yearly basis at this point.
“We’ve had some really physical teams and the coaches haven’t lasted,” Smart said. “I mean, it’s not a guarantee. A lot of things that go into sustaining a good program, and Mark’s done an incredible job at a place which, you know, it’s tough at Kentucky. It’s got a great basketball program. They don’t have the recruiting base we have. He’s gone out and done it.”
While Stoops has recruited at an all-time high level for a Kentucky football coach, one thing that has evaded him during his 12-year tenure is a signature win against a high-ranked opponent. Stoops and the ‘Cats will have a chance to break that streak as they prepare for the top-ranked team in the country. Kickoff from inside Kroger Field is set for 7:30 p.m. ET live on ABC.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) – Recent heavy rainfall has left soil across the state completely soaked, contributing to localized flooding in some areas.
When rain falls, some water soaks into the ground through a process called percolation.
Soil can only hold a limited amount of water. Once the small air spaces within the soil fill with water, the ground becomes saturated and additional rainfall has nowhere to go.
Soil type plays a role in how quickly water drains.
Much of Kentucky has clay-heavy soil, which is made up of very small, flat particles packed tightly together.
That composition makes it harder for water to move through. In clay soil, water may drain at a rate of only 0.02 to 0.17 inches per hour.
When rainfall comes down faster than the ground can absorb it and water cannot drain into a stream or storm drain quickly enough, it begins to build up.
That buildup is what leads to localized flooding.

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) – Cyclosporiasis is a microscopic parasite that can contaminate food and water — is making people sick across several states, including Kentucky.
Dr. Patricia Tellez-Watson said, the illness is caused by Cyclospora cayetanensis and spreads when someone ingests contaminated food or water. “It is an intestinal infection caused by this water-borne, food-borne microscopic parasite,” she said.
Symptoms can include diarrhea, nausea and vomiting.
Tellez-Watson said, cases are often sporadic, but outbreaks can happen — especially during hot, wet months, when the parasite can survive in the environment long enough to become infectious.
Health experts recommend taking extra precautions with food and water. Washing hands and thoroughly rinsing produce before eating or cooking can reduce risk.
Watson also urged people to be cautious with fresh produce, particularly pre-packaged items, and to consider using bottled water.
Officials have confirmed cases in Bowling Green, though it’s unclear how many.
