Football players charged NEWS
4 freshmen charged with disorderly conduct ANNE HALLIWELL ahalliwell@kykernel.com
Four UK football players, Dorian Baker, Drew Barker, Tymere Dubose and Stanley Williams, were charged with second-degree disorderly conduct, according to Fayette County District Court documents. The charge is a Class B misdemeanor, with a punishment of up to 90 days in jail, according to the Kentucky Penal Code. The four freshmen admitted on Wednesday to being part of a game of “man hunt” which is played by chasing and shooting at one another with BB guns, according to the documents. The student-athletes have been suspended from Saturday’s game against South Carolina and will face further disciplinary action, UK Athletics and coach Mark Stoops announced Monday. The district court’s criminal complaint summons noted that at about 9:30 p.m. Sunday, the UK Police Department was notified by two callers of seeing a group of six to eight males in the area of the Kirwan IV dormitory on Woodland Glen Avenue and hearing gunshots. After searching the area, the UK and Lexington Police Departments located two witnesses, one of whom said he saw a firearm in one subject’s hand and heard one to three shots, according to the documents. The other witness told police that she saw the subjects split into two groups, one of which ran toward Woodland Avenue and Hilltop Drive. The other headed toward Baldwin Hall on Sports Center Drive, ac-
cording to the complaint summons. Dubose admitted to firing his BB gun in the air after leaving his dorm to see if it worked. He added that he saw a “frat guy” run away and said the group decided to split into two separate groups, according to court documents. After hearing that the police were responding to the reports of shots fired, Barker and Dubose left their BB guns under a tree in a field area at University and Complex Drives. Williams said after receiving the call that the police were investigating the area, he discarded his BB gun in a trash dumpster and continued to his residence hall, according to another complaint summons. Baker told the court he never fired his BB gun, as it was broken, and left it near a construction site at the rear of Baldwin Hall. After viewing the security camera stills released to the public, the players told the district court they all decided to come forward Monday and admit they were the subjects involved and that the guns involved were not real firearms, according to the documents. The players admitted that the group’s actions had created a “hazardous situation that served no legitimate purpose,” the complaint summons read. The players will appear in Fayette County District Court on Oct. 28. Once the investigation is finished, UK Chief of Police Joe Monroe said Monday, the evidence will be turned over to the Office of Student Affairs to determine whether a violation of the student code of conduct took place.

UK’s defensive punch and offensive pace are key SPORTS
A tale of two teams heading in opposite directions will be told Saturday as the inconsistent South Carolina Gamecocks square off against the current Cinderella of the SEC East in UK. Nobody knows whichSouth Carolina team will suit up when it takes the field against the Cats. Will it be the team that squeaked out a win against heavy-hitting JOSHUA HUFF Georgia and the team that locked down Missouri for 52 Kernel Columnist minutes? Or will it be the team that was blown out by Texas A&M and allowed Missouri to come back and win in the final eight minutes? Coming off its first SEC win in three years, the Cats will be riding a wave of fan support and optimism as they look to alter the SEC East landscape and give South Carolina a third conference loss from which it may not be able to recover from. Home Sweet Home The Cats have yet to lose at home this season. UK has held its three opponents to just a mere 24 points at home, compared to
UK’s 96 points. The Gamecocks are traveling away from Williams-Brice Stadium for just the second time this year and are encountering a Cats team whose fan base is starting to take notice of its success. Look for Commonwealth Stadium to be as intimidating and loud as it’s been in years. The Edge: UK Picking up the pace South Carolina has struggled against teams that run a form of the up-tempo, air raid style of offense. Texas A&M and East Carolina racked up the yards against an inconsistent Gamecocks’ defense. With a spotty secondary, South Carolina will have headaches by game’s end as it has to contend with a UK offense that spreads the ball and pushes for 75 plays-a-game. With freshman Stanley “Boom” Williams suspended for the game, running backs Jojo Kemp and Braylon Heard will have to step up. The Gamecocks have allowed 822 rushing yards this season and have allowed an average of five yards per carry. UK quarterback Patrick Towles should have a bounce back game. With a South Carolina pass defense that has allowed an average of 276 passing yards a game, all Towles needs to do is hold onto the ball and not throw interceptions, something that has plagued him the past few weeks. The Cats will have the advantage if they stick to their fast paced, spread offense. But look for that advantage to be nullified if the Gamecocks defense plays up to its ability. The Edge: Tie Defense wins championships Bookends Dud Dupree and Za’Darius Smith entered the season picked to be as dominant a force as there is in the SEC. Though the stats don’t reflect the damage they have caused on the field, the two, along with defensive tackles Regie Meant and C.J.
Johnson, have wrecked havoc for opposing offensive lines. South Carolina’s quarterback Dylan Thompson has thrown only three picks during the Gamecocks’ six games. Thompson probably won’t be rattled in front of the UK crowd, but the pressure from the edges should cause him to make rash decisions. The two offensive players that UK needs to be wary of are running back Mike Davis and receiver Pharoh Cooper. Davis has rushed for 384 yards this season with a long of 36 yards and has punched into the end zone three times. Cooper is force at receiver; he has 24
catches for 296 yards and is Thompsons’ goto receiver. The Edge: UK Prediction The game will come down to UK’s offense against South Carolina’s defense. Nobody knows what we’ll see from the two, but if the Gamecocks defense does show up for an entire game, UK will have a long evening. This game is hard to predict because South Carolina has the talent to blow out UK, but it all depends on what Gamecocks team shows up. UK 21, South Carolina 17
"I know Coach (Steve) Spurrier and their staff, they've been unhappy with inconsistent play at times, but that's us as well," UK head coach Mark Stoops said. "They certainly looked dynamic on both sides of the ball. Certain games in particular, you look at the Georgia game and how good they played. So, I'm sure they're mad and ready to improve on all sides, just like we are." The Gamecocks have relied heavily on junior running back Mike Davis. Stoops is a big fan of Davis and loves the way he plays.
"Mike (Davis) is just a very good football player, always going forward," Stoops said. "Very difficult to tackle. He's got everything you want in a running back." The 2013 Second Team All-SEC member is averaging 73.6 rushing yards a game, tallying 384 total. Davis, combined with head coach Steve Spurrier's offensive schemes, will be challenging for UK's "Bad Boys." "I think that makes him so successful," Stoops said of Spurrier. "Coach obviously has done an unbelievable job for many years at get-
ting his teams ready to play and doing what he has to do to win games.” For Stoops, one of the biggest concerns is consistency. Throughout the Cats' matchup with Vanderbilt, the defense held ground and did not allow the Commodores to score. The offensive side of the ball was a different story. "We need to be more consistent, and I've said it over and over," Stoops said. "Our team is starting to get that, but it comes down to being a fundamental football team on both sides of the ball and on special teams.“

Gamecocks’ offensive weapons a concern for Cats ANNIE DUNBAR sports@kykernel.com
South Carolina will be hungry heading into its SEC showdown with UK at 7 p.m. Saturday in Commonwealth Stadium. Coming off a disappointing loss at home to Missouri, the Gamecocks, who have a 3-2 overall record, are looking to clinch yet another conference victory. The squad has defeated Georgia and Vanderbilt to sit two slots above the Cats in the SEC East standings. 4 | Timeout | 10.3.14

Ulis plays with a chip on his shoulder SPORTS
Chicago native competes to prove that the doubts about his size are wrong
Freshman guard Tyler Ulis carries himself like he has something to prove. He walks with intent, plays with purpose and speaks as to convince that he is a good basketball player. Never mind that Ulis was rated as a Top 40 recruit and was the most impressive player in the Bahamas this summer; he still carries around a chip on his shoulder that stands at least 5 feet, Nick Gray 9 inches tall. Kernel Columnist "I've been going against that all my life, that I was too small," Ulis said. "That just means I have to play my game that much more effectively." The chip may come from where he was born and raised. The Chicago area has pro-
duced NBA All-star point guards such as Isiah Thomas, Derrick Rose, Tim Hardaway and Doc Rivers. To be a point guard from Chicago means to extend the history and legacy of those All-star caliber players. But those players were all above 6-feet tall. Ulis' attitude toward his 5-foot-9-inch size is not that his size is a physical disadvantage. Ulis instead uses the argument as motivation, that he will play well enough that his size won't be an excuse for struggling in a large man’s game. He compensates with exceptionally good court vision for a college freshman and toughness on both ends of the floor. "I come up there and try to play my game, to get people involved," Ulis said. "I always felt like passing is the right way to play (offensively) since I was a kid. I play a

different way defensively (than most guards), being pesky and defending all 90 feet of the court."
“
I’ve been going against that all my life, that I was too small.” TYLER ULIS freshman guard
A story around Joe Craft Center this summer floated around about Ulis standing up to former UK forward DeMarcus Cousins during a summer pick-up game. Cousins has
led the NBA in technical fouls the last two seasons and did not mince words during his time in Lexington. The conflict did not surprise UK coach John Calipari, knowing Cousins' tendencies, but it was a pleasant thing in the case of Ulis. "You're gonna get in a situation like that with DeMarcus, and (Ulis has) got to know (Cousins) ain't budging," Calipari said. "He ain't budging. So some of the stuff that I need to teach, he's already kind of done." Calipari referred to Ulis as the "little kid" during a preseason interview in September. "Your advantage is in the backcourt, in all cases," Calipari said. "So you pick up (the opposing ball handler on defense). You make it bothersome for people anywhere you can." Ulis better hope that large chip on his shoulder doesn’t weigh him down. All signs point to Ulis not letting that happen.
