While the eyes of the BBN were focused on the action at Rupp Arena, the Kentucky football was grinding away at the Joe Craft Football Training Facility, preparing for the final home game of the season 2021 season. Liam Coen liked what he saw from the offense before the team sends off two dozen seniors.

“These have probably been two of our better practices that we’ve had on a Monday and Tuesday as a team, specifically on offense,” said Kentucky’s offensive coordinator. “The energy, just being serious about this opponent because like we’ve seen, any given Saturday anything can happen and I gotta believe that this team being this far into the season is going to take any opportunity hopefully and go attack it.”

Justin Rigg has already been through Senior Day ceremonies before. He’ll stay on the sideline to let the rest of his teammates enjoy the fun. One player who could shine after spending most of the season on the sideline is true freshman Jordan Dingle. Rigg believes the former four-star recruit has a bright future in Lexington.

Last but not least, Darian Kinnard talked about “one of the best decisions” he ever made: returning to Kentucky for one more season.
