biomaklccaaln-p-jpg-large Matthew Bradford, a KSR favorite, talked to the football team after practice today. Bradford is former Marine who lost both legs and eyesight when a road side bomb exploded under him in Iraq in 2007. Bradford was only 19-years-old. Ahead of Heroes' Day this Saturday, police officers, firefighters, and military have been guests at Kentucky's practice all week. "We just wrapped up with Matthew Bradford talking to the team. It’s a real honor to have heroes like that here, and with the police and firefighters and everybody we’ve had this week. It’s been really good for our players to see them and just to invite people out to watch some practice. It’s been a nice week," Stoops said.
