From now until the beginning of UK’s football season (September 2 at Louisville), KSRCollege will be counting down the days before we finally see the pigskin again. Each day, we’re going to take the number of days left before the season starts, and explain how that number is significant to UK football history (recent or ancient). This is going to be based on both personal memories and the research we compile. Hopefully, this will keep us and the football fans occupied during the long summer months and the non-football fans interested. So, until September 2…
- There are
28 Graduate/Student Assistant Coaches on the Football Staff, including the great Andre Woodson.
