NASHVILLE. Tenn. A
For almost three quarters
Saturday, UK looked like a
superior team, with an ex-
plosive running game and
an uncharacteristically ag-
gressive defense.

Then, with a 41-17 lead
going into the fourth quar-
ter, Vanderbilt remembered
it had a bowl bid on the
line.

For three straight dri-
ves, including a 15-play, 66
yarder at the beginning of
the quarter. quarterback
Jay Cutler and the Com-
modores picked apart the
UK defense that had stifled
them on every drive but
two all afternoon.

But Vanderbilt (4-6, 2-5
SEC) woke up too late. The
Cats (3-6. 2-4) held on and
snuck away from
Nashville, Tenn, with a 48-
43 victory in front of 29,506
at Vanderbflt Stadium.

The final period was
enough to raise the hairs of
newly retained head coach
Rich Brooks. who recorded
his first road win at UK
with the victory.

“I’m tired.” a relieved
Brooks said after an epic,
three-hour and 40-minute
battle. “Just like our de-
fense."

Throughout the first
half, the two Southeastern
Conference East Division
cellar-dwellers reversed
roles. UK played like the
team that needed to win its
remaining games to be
bowl-eligible. while Vandy
played like a team that had
no post-season within
reach.

Led by star tailback
Rafael Little. the Cats domi-
nated the half, beginning
more than half their plays
in Vandy territory and
building a 34-10 lead by in-
termission.

“We had a short field a
lot of times; I can’t even re
member how many times,"
Brooks said. “It was kind of
fun having a short field for
once."

The halftime advantage
was a lead the team would
need every point out of, as

Cutler, one of 20 Vanderbflt
seniors playing their last
game at Dudley Field, and
freshman wide receiver
Earl Bennett torched UK
cornerback David Jones
and the rest of the UK de-
fense in the fourth quarter
for a trio of touchdowns.

At one point, Cutler
threw at Jones on five con-
secutive plays during the
’Dores’ 15-play drive at the
beginning of the fourth
quarter.

“I told him. ‘You’re a
freshman; they‘re going to
throw at you and pick on
you,’ " said junior corner-
back Bo Smith. who forced
a fumble and had nine tack-
les.

Bennett. who verbally
committed to UK last year
before reneging and sign-
ing with Vandy, had five
catches in the fourth quar-
ter and all three of the Van-
derbilt touchdowns in that
period. He finished with 13
receptions for 99 yards and
a school-record five touch-
downs.

Cutler also set school
records on his Senior Day,
etching himself into Com-
modore lore with marks for
completions (38), attempts
(66), and touchdowns (five,
tying his own previous
school record).

The furious comeback,
in which Vanderbilt scored
19 unanswered points,
made more than a few
members of the Wildcat
sideline nervous.

“Obviously, you start to
get worried,” said sopho-
more quarterback Andre’
Woodson, who finished 12-
of-20 passing for 155 yards
and a rushing touchdown.
“Our offense never got a se-
ries going. We put up a ton
of points. but went dry in
the fourth quarter."

“They were making big
plays on fourth down,"
Smith said. “It was close."

The Commodores con-
verted three consecutive
fourth downs on their
mammoth fourth-quarter
drive, including a fourth-
and-goal from the UK 5-
yard line for the touch-

Cats dine on
Jackrabbits

By Josh Sullivan

It was obvious that all the kinks hadn’t
been worked out, but UK found enough co
hesion to overwhelm South Dakota State
for a 71-54 victory last night.

In the season-opening game in front of
20,144 fans in Rupp Arena, sophomore All-
Southeastern Conference point guard Ra-
jon Rondo turned in a stellar performance.

But it took a shot in the arm from the
bench to ignite the No. 10 Wildcats alter a
lethargic start.

UK didn‘t score until almost four min-
utes into the game. on a layup from guard
Joe Crawford.

'Ib solve the problem, head coach Tubby
Smith pulled all of his starters. The Cats
then reeled off a 12-2 run.

UK’s defense was the story of the first
half, as the visiting Jackrabbits hit just one
of their first 17 shots. But two bugaboos
from last year‘s squad — rebounding and
free throw shooting H reared their ugly

 

heads.

The Cats went into intermission tied
with the smaller Jackrabbits with 23 re-
bounds, though they eventually won the
battle of the boards 4540.

“We out-rebounded them tonight. but
we‘ve got to do a better job on the boards,"
Smith said. “When you look down, we‘re

But Little isn’t tired at all.
His rushing total was two

yards shy of 200, and he found

the end zone three times. He
even led all Wildcat receivers
with five catches for 85 yards.

Boning W

So this is what Rich
Brooks was talking about.

This is what the UK head
coach wants the Wildcat foot-
ball program to look like.

Forcing fumbles. Blocking
kicks and returning them for
touchdowns. Piling on 34
points in a half.

“We came out and played
together,” sophomore wide re
ceiver Keenan Burton said. “It
gives you the belief that you
can do i

Given the past few years of
unlucky Wildcat football, I
never thought I’d see UK forc-
ing so much bad luck on an-
other team.

The Commodores fumbled
four times. losing three, and
UK capitalized.

The biggest turnover was
a blocked field goal that UK ju-
nior corner Bo Smith scooped
upandran72yardstoputUK
up 21-3. It would be 34-3 —
with UK scoring on six
straight possessions — before
Vandy would find the score-
board again.

But I never thought a 41-10
Wildcat blitz wasn’t enough to

down.

Vandy scored twice more, but
couldn’t convert an onside kick after
getting within five points of UK's
lead. Little then carried the Cats to
the win with one final first down that
allowed UK to run out the clock.

Little extended his SEC lead in all-
purpose yards per game, tallying 372.
including 198 yards on 28 carries.

His biggest run, however. was in
the third quarter. Afier a Vandy score.
Jones returned the kickoff to the UK
BSyard line.

Little took the first handoff and
dashed through a hole on the left side
of the line before juking two defend-
ers and getting a clean downfield
block from Jones to cruise into the
end zone and restore UK’s 31~point ad-
vantage.

The 65-yard touchdown scamper.
one of Little’s hat trick of rushing
touchdowns. set a career long for him
in yards on one play.

“He’s a stud,” said offensive coor-
dinator Joker Phillips of Little. "I’m not sure
he doesn't have an ‘S’ on his chest.“

Little’s teammates also sang his praises,
but on a slightly lower level than superhero.

“I’ve been saying, ‘Raff’ for Heisman."
sophomore tight end Jacob Tamme said.
“(Heisman candidates) Vince Young. Reggie
Bush and Matt Leinart, if they have a bad
game, we need to get him up there."

Little grinned when told of the comparison
to three of college football’s elite players.

“I ain’t on that level yet,” the sophomore
said. “Maybe next year.” .

The biggest play of the first half came
courtesy of UK's special teams. Linebacker
_ Raymond Fontaine rose up and blocked a
h01d down Vanderbilt. Bryan Hahnfeldt field goal attempt into the air

Turns out, a 31-point lead
was within UK’s margin of er-
ror.

Brooks admittedly got a
little anxious before sealing
his first Southeastern Confer-
ence road win at UK.

“I suppose when they
scored their last one (I was),”
Brooks said. “Last week, they
kicked and recovered an on-
side kick.”

But Vandy didn’t snag an-
other onside kick like it did
taking Florida to overtime,
and the Wildcats were the
ones running out the clock.

UK’s celebration was so
loud it was bleeding through
the concrete walls in the visit-
ing media room.

“I hope you don’t mind
them,” Brooks said with a
smile. “They’re having fun —
isn’t that nice?”

Yes, it is.

And the Wildcats had plen-
ty to kid about after beating
Vandy

“I was joking the other
day,” sophomore tight end Ja-
cob Tamme said. “Raff for
Heisman, Rafi‘ for Heisman.”

Texas’ Vince Young and
Southern California’s Reggie
Bush may argue with that.
But Little is definitely an All-
American candidate now.
There’s perhaps no team in
the SEC that has an MVP of
this caliber.

“He’s definitely our MVP,”
Phillips said.

After running all over the
fourth-ranked Auburn defense
last weekend, Little sank the
Commodores on Saturday.

The new Wildcat “Raf-
fense” isn’t slowing down any
time soon.

 

lot more people on the boards. We need
to get a lot more rebounds out of our big
people."

Rondo was the unlikely hero on the
glass for the Cats, snagging a career-
higih 12 rebounds, five on the offensive
en .

“My mentality was to help the big
men out in rebounding," Rondo said.

He also dished out six assists and
swiped six steals. Smith was impressed
with Rondo’s effort on all fronts.

“I thought Rajon’s all-around play
tonight was outstanding. He knocked
down some threes, he was all over the
court defensively." Smith said.

“We needed him on the court with
the way he was playing, and we expect-
ed that from him,” he said.

South Dakota State seemed to solve
UK’s press in the second half, convert—
ing several layups after breaking the
Cat’s full court pressure.

“Our press was nonexistent, which
is troublesome,” said Smith.

Forward Ben Beran scored the
Jackrabbits’ first 11 points after the
break, on his way to a game high 25.

Center Shagari Alleyne came up big
for the Cats in the post, rejecting four
shots and pulling down three rebounds
in 15 minutes off the bench.

Reserves accounted for 30 of UK’s
points, led by junior forward Rekalin
Sims' 11. Sims added seven boards.
Crawford was the only other Wildcat to
score in double figures. notching 10
points in his first start as a Wildcat.

Despite the win, Smith wasn’t alto-
gether pleased with the Cats’ perfor—
mance.

“I’m never satisfied.” he said. “Until
we play a perfect game. I won’t be satis-
fied Maybe we’ll play a lot better to-
morrow night.”

EITORIAL
NOTEBOOK

I In the early morning hours of Nov. 7. two tornadoes swept
through Western Kentucky. The first. categorized as an F3
with winds of more than 150 mph. touched down in
Henderson. Ky. and then cut a path across the Ohio River to
Evansville. Ind. The second. categorized as an F2 with more
winds as high as 150 mph. struck downtown Munfordville.
Ky., a few hours later.

In Indiana. the tornado killed 22 and injured more than
200. and at Henderson's Ellis Park racetrack. the grandstand
was damaged and several horses were killed. CNN.com said.

As so often is the case. much of the damage and injuries
came to people in mobile home parks.

.Since these parks are found in more rural areas, sirens
and shelters are ofien unavailable. Kentucky should push —
if not mandate ~ these parks to have adequate warning sys-
tems and available shelter.

This week. Gov. Ernie Fletcher said his visits to the dam-
aged areas in Munfordville led to him think Kentucky
should review the tornado warning system.

“The report I got in Hart County was that the siren went
off afier the tornado hit. So -— not a lot of warning," he told
the Lexington Herald-Leader.

The state should review the warning system and do
more to protect those most at risk from these storms m the
families living in mobile'homes.

I As The Kernel reported last week, MA 109 scores at UK
have been dismally low this semester. prompting students to
blame instructors and instructors to blame students.
However. there is plenty of blame to go around.

The average grade on the class‘ second exam this semes-
ter was 55 percent. which is dismally low. Clearly something
is wrong m and we suspect that students and instructors
share the blame.

Thanks in part to Kentucky's less-than-stellar math pro
grams in its public schools. students are generally not well-
prepared for college level math courses. At the same time.
it’s difficult to find an instructor who can effectively devote
adequate time to a 100~level class with hundreds of students.

Math department and College of Arts and Sciences ad-
ministrators need to look into the situation and ensure that
the homework students do accurately reflects what they’ll
see on the test and that placement tests are putting students
into the right classes. In addition. they should make sure
class sizes are small enough that instructors can teach effec-
tively and answer student questions.

I On Nov 19. UK will play Tennessee on Senior Day at
Commonwealth Stadium. The week leading up to that will be
another. much more important contest known as the Big
Blue Crush.

The Crush is the annual race between the Bluegrass and
Volunteer States to see who can donate the most blood. and
everyone in both states should participate. Not for school or
state pride. but because giving blood is a good idea.

There are thousands of people on Kentucky's organ do-
nation lists. Every day. thousands of people in the communi-
ty and state get in traffic accidents. are injured or somehow
hurt themselves and must go to the hospital. All of these
people need blood. which is chiefly accessible through
healthy people whose bodies can replenish it in a short
amount of time and are not in dire need of every pint they
have at every second. as accident victims are. One pint of
healthy blood can save three lives.

Everyone should give blood. With just one visit. you
could save three lives and be a hero to three families ~ all
for 30 minutes of your time.

I Last week. the Kansas Board of Education decided by a 6
4 vote to change the state science standards to require the
teaching of intelligent design. billed as an alternative theory
to evolution. in classrooms. Intelligent design advocates
think that the complexity of life cannot be explained by
Darwinian evolution and that life must therefore have been
designed by a higher power.

Students should certainly be exposed to different points
of view and ways of thinking about such fundamental is-
sues. as long as they're allowed to reach their own conclu-
sions. A science classroom. however. may not be the best
place for such a dialogue , evolution is the cornerstone of
contemporary biology. and intelligent design has little
standing among the majority of professional biologists.

Perhaps students could be introduced to differences in
the debate over the origin of life (and other such issues) in a
comparative-religions or philosophy class. either of which
would be an undoubtedly appropriate forum to discuss such
fundamental matters. But until intel
