Alabama running back and former Kentucky recruit Damien Harris posted a picture on Instagram of him and Mark Stoops hugging after the Crimson Tide knocked off the Wildcats down in Tuscaloosa last night. The caption reads "Nothing but respect," which is a nice gesture from a guy that a lot of UK fans thought may have felt some bad blood from the Big Blue faithful earlier this week.
Harris had tweeted early in the week that this week was personal for him. That tweet was soon after deleted, but the general consensus was that it rubbed a lot of Kentucky fans the wrong way. The Kentucky native was the main focus of all of UK's recruiting efforts while he was in high school, so there was really no personal vendetta's that he could've been exercising in Saturday's game.
Regardless, it is nice to see that Harris still shows love for the UK staff, even if he did pick Nick Saban and the Tide in the end.

Harris had been hobbled by an ankle injury all week so he was very limited in how much he played against the Cats, rushing only two times for 11 yards.
