The Kentucky football team held a closed scrimmage on Saturday and the Cats were able to work on many game-like situations during the session. UK head coach Mark Stoops came away happy with how his team performed in the scrimmage.
“Good scrimmage today. Very pleased with the progress we’ve made this week,” Stoops said. “I feel like the latter part of this week and the scrimmage, we’ve really picked it up, have become a sharper football team. Not as many mistakes. It was good to get out, put the ball down and get a bunch of reps out there and have a good physical day today.”
Participating in a scrimmage allowed the Cats to work on specific occurrences, something that Stoops thought the team handled well.
“We got a lot of situational work done today, which was really good,” he said. “We got some goal line, we got a lot of third downs, we had some third and fourth and shorts, two minute drill. Just better. Definite improvement and we all know that’s what we need to do. Just keep improving, put our head down and just get better each and every day.”
Stoops was impressed with how his team handled the day from beginning to end.
