A legendary goodbye
American Pharoah makes history with Breeders’ Cup win By Morgan Lafferty features@kykernel.com
At 9 a.m. Saturday morning, the green gates of Keeneland swung open and people dressed to the nines flooded the paddock area for the second day of Breeders’ Cup racing. Minute by minute, people filed in. The brisk morning did not stop fans from coming to watch history in the making. For the first time in history, a Triple Crown winner was able to compete for the Breeders’ Cup Classic. American Pharoah’s last time to shine was coming. As the eight contenders for the Classic emerged from the paddock and onto the track, the crowd applauded in approval. But once the horses were loaded into the starting gates, the crowd grew silent. When the starting gate bell rang through Keeneland the horses launched
out of the gate and the crowd went wild. Two minutes later, American Pharoah came out on top. Right from the start, Pharoah took the lead as jockey Victor Espinoza held position. Pharoah led his opponents with confidence as Tonalist and Effinex followed
lengths and made history. “I knew this was going to be his last race and I let him run,” Espinoza said. “In the paddock I told Victor that (American Pharoah) was right today and just to ride him,” trainer Bob Baffert said. Baffert said he believes Pharoah is

the greatest horse he will ever see and he will have a tough time deciding who will take the helm since American Pharoah is now retired. Pharoah’s owner Ahmed Zayat could
not have been prouder of his horse Saturday evening. “What can I say? What a horse,” Zayat said. “He is the most brilliant horse I have ever seen. He is a once-in-a-lifetime horse.” Zayat and Baffert have yet to discuss what is next for the frst horse to win a ‘Grand Slam.’ “The Triple Crown winner should go out in a way that is appropriate for both this sport and his fans, and for him,” Zayat said. “We will discuss it in order to pay tribute to such a special animal.” Before the Classic, Baffert said he was not worried about winning the race. He, as well as the Zayat family and Espinoza, wanted Pharoah to run this race for himself. “He is a champion,” Baffert said. “I am so glad that American Pharoah goes out the champion he is. We’re all going to miss him.”
Farmers criticize UK for ‘local food’ definition By Marjorie Kirk news@kykernel.com
Students can go to their dining halls and enjoy a number of local products which — according to UK’s definition — includes Coca-Cola. Clauses in the contract with UK’s new dining service provider, Aramark, have become a topic of debate among local food advocates and producers because of the university’s definition of local food. UK began a 15-year, $250 million contract with Aramark in 2014. While the company is ob-
ligated to use a percentage of local food and Kentucky Proud products, UK considers companies that distribute or process food and beverages in Kentucky to be “local.” In addition to using companies that are based outside of Kentucky, local food advocates like the Local Food Association criticize the Kentucky Proud clause of the contract. “Kentucky Proud doesn’t necessarily measure farm impact, because you can buy from a Kentucky Proud company products that have never seen Kentucky farms,” said JohnMark Hack, LFA’s executive
director. Aramark Resident District Manager Jonathan Parker said the company has met, if not exceeded, local food standards held by UK for years. The company plans to increase the incorporation of local food and Kentucky Proud products each year. “If you take out the CocaCola and (Home City Ice) you do see an increase in the local commitment we’ve made in our partnership,” Parker said. Some of Aramark’s local purchases include produce and cheese from Kentucky farms including Jones Brothers
Farms, Evans Orchard, Gordon Farms and Calumet Farm. The company recently just began a partnership with UK’s South Farm. Parker said Aramark’s relationship with The Food Connection, the business community partnership with the College of Agriculture, will help incorporate more local farmers and producers into their supply chain. Todd Clark of Clark Family Farm said it is frustrating for local farmers that Ara-

mark does not take advantage of them as a resource. He said local farmers have the potential to supply the university with abundant and possibly superior products, even if the products may be slightly more expensive. “UK is a large enough entity where that is a huge opportunity to further healthier eating and, in some cases, local food can help with that,” Clark said. “It’s also frustrating to have various colleges and departments within UK working on educating through classes and working with farmers like myself to help us sell lo-

cally, and yet at the end of the day … (the university is) not really buying locally.” Some students in the agriculture department are hopeful for more local produce on campus. “It might not have been what people had in mind when they were considering local,” sustainable agriculture senior Michael Hurak said. “I (think) they’re taking advantage of the local (producers) in the contract they signed. I would like to see what they do in another year when it is more developed, and they get a reception from students and faculty.”

Food truck wins award at inaugural Feeders’ Cup By Ashtin Morgan
features@kykernel.com
“Eat Well. Die Happy.” Not only is it their motto, it is a way of life for Andrew Suthers and Kyle Klatka, the co-owning chefs of The Gastro Gnomes Food truck. The catchphrase is printed on all sides of the truck and tattooed on Suthers’ hands as a simple reminder that they’re passionate about their business. The idea of opening a food truck came to them after their time working at Palmers Fresh Grill. Between the two of them they had more than 30 years of experience in fine dining and were ready to take the next step. “I got tired of making other people money. As I got higher up, I was becoming more distant from a customer base,” Suthers said. To make their dream come true, the first step was to come
up with the finances for a truck. Suthers and Klatka created a page on Kickstarter.com. Suthers said the two raised $14,000 in 60 days; enough to put a down payment on the food truck and have it built by a company in New Jersey. Suthers said Gastro Gnomes will be celebrating its two-year anniversary in February and they are looking forward to more opportunities. They will be opening a brick-and-mortar restaurant in partnership with the Breakroom. Suthers said the set up would be similar to the partnership with West Sixth Brewing and Smithtown Seafood. The menu changes daily depending on what is available, especially because the pair uses Kentucky grown products. It’s constantly changing to keep things interesting for customers. Recently they’ve been serving up buttermilk fried chicken and waffle cones, crabby patties, a green chili
cheeseburger, and shrimp and pesto risotto. Two popular items on the menu are the chicken and waffle cone and the shark tacos. They said they enjoy working around a more nomadic lifestyle, completely different from restaurants. The Gastro Gnomes won best overall food truck at the Feeders’ Cup last weekend. Newcomers and regulars alike visited the chefs. “It was awesome,” Suthers said. “We’re already looking forward to doing it next year.” Suthers said the duo pushed out large amounts of food in relatively little time. “We thought, let’s put something out quickly,” Suthers said. “By 8 o’ clock we had made 1,200 servings.” They served a fried ramen fritter, filled with roasted chicken. The noodles were soaked overnight in a soy ginger broth and Suther described the dish as a crunch soup

Discussion to promote tolerance in Afghanistan
Activists look to ease country’s problems, ideological tensions By Camiran Moore news@kykernel.com
Activists Aref Dostyar and Sofia Ramyar of Afghans for Progressive Thinking will talk to students on Wednesday about their mission of fostering tolerance, respect and openness in Afghanistan. The event will begin at 7 p.m. in Davis Marksbury Building’s first floor conference room. There will be an information and Q&A session. UK Peace Studies and Central Kentucky Council for Peace and Justice are sponsoring the event. Afghans for Progressive Thinking provides university students in Afghanistan with opportunities to critically engage in contemporary issues,
according to its website. The organization’s objective is to inform people of Afghanistan’s history and its relationship with Western countries. “What we hope to get at are some Afghans’ perspectives on the international involvement in Afghanistan, the future of Afghanistan and what hope there is for bringing the different competing groups in Afghanistan together in any kind of national unity,” said Kerby Neill, event organizer and appointed adjunct faculty of peace studies in the Department of Political Science. Dostyar is the founder of Afghans for Progressive Thinking and now serves as the board chairman. He is currently a fellow at the Center for International Policy in Washington,
D.C., where he works with the Afghanistan Study Group. Dostyar has a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science and economics from the University of Lucknow in India. He is also a graduate of the Institute of Leadership Development in Kabul. Ramyar graduated from Kabul University in 2011 with an economics degree. She became executive director of Afghans for Progressive Thinking in January of 2014 after serving in several programs with the organization. Afghans for Progressive Thinking has worked with more than 10,000 students from 30 universities in six provinces of Afghanistan, according to Dostyar. They plan to share their ambitious goals for the future on Wednesday, which they hope attendees will find inspirational.

Teamwork skills put to the test in ‘Breakout’ Participants have an hour to solve puzzles, riddles in teams of 8 or fewer before the clock runs out By Chirstin Kennedy features@kykernel.com
Fans of riddles, puzzles, problem solving, and an exciting night should plan a visit to Breakout Lexington. Breakout Lexington is an experience filled with real-life adventures for groups of eight or less. “Breakout is a really cool environment,” said Mary Jane Belland, a Breakout employee. “It is something new to do as a part of their life on weekends.” The ultimate goal is to escape the room in one hour or less, by solving a series of problems, puzzles and riddles. Breakout Games is a national chain and in Lexington, there are multiple rooms and adventures to experience. Groups have the option to escape from an island that will soon face a volcanic eruption, save the Kentucky Derby from an evil vet who wants to steal the $2 million prize or escape from a group of kidnappers. “You really have to do it as a group. Team work is everything in winning this game,” Belland said. “You have to announce everything you find and be loud about it so that other players know.”
At the beginning of each game rules are given to people by a game master. The game master is there to help people whenever they get stuck throughout the duration of the game. In each room there are clipboards of rules on how to set up each room.
You really have to use common sense to win a game.” JAMARL BRYANT Game masters often go over rules before people enter the game. Generally, they tell people what exactly to do, the ultimate motive, and give as much advice as possible without ruining the experience before it starts. “On average about 200 or more people come through every night,” said Breakout Lexington employeeJustine Cryder. “Our average of people varies each night.” Hundreds will try to escape
the room in 60 minutes or less, but only 20 percent will actually succeed. Breakout Lexington is located on North Ashland Avenue. The cost to participate in Breakout Lexington ranges from $15 to $22 per person. “I had a lot of fun participating in Breakout,” public health senior Christina Lucas said. “It is a really fun thing to do and it is also different from your average activities.” Jamarl Bryant, an apparel and textile senior, liked participating in the Haunted Cellar. The Haunted Cellar combined standard breakout games with Fright Nights. Players try to escape from a murderer who killed his family with a rusted pipe people also have to solve puzzles in under an hour. “You really have to use common sense to win a game,” Bryant said. “We were so close to breaking out of the cellar.” The hour time limit combined with the intensity of the challenges can trip people up. “We made it to the very end with only one minute to spare but we just couldn’t figure out the last puzzle,” Bryant said. Bryant said he would come back to Breakout to attempt to escape the room.
The information session will begin with a handout that will go over some basic background information about Afghanistan. Dostyar and Ramyar will then talk about their work with Afghans for Progressive Thinking and end with a Q&A. “We’d love to have a broad-
er range of people as possible,” said Neill, who expects the event to attract a diverse group. “I am hoping we get a very interesting and significant turnout.” Neill helped to start the Peace Studies program at UK and has visited some other
peace studies programs, including the one at Notre Dame. This is how Neill found out about Afghans for Progressive Thinking and why he reached out to Dostyar about coming to UK. “This is unique,” Neill said. “I don’t know if it is happening anywhere else.”

GOP must answer the tough questions
I Kentucky Kernel I 11.02.15
EDITORIALS
Candidates avoid important issues MATT YOUNG Kernel Columnist
So, that Republican debate last week. The candidates and many Republicans were angry at CNBC because the moderators were “attacking” them. All the questions asked were appropriate — questions that someone who wants to be the commander-in-cheif of this country needs to answer. Republican candidate Ted Cruz was asked if his opposition to a budget deal that keeps the government from shutting down shows he is not a problem solver. He was asked a question about a substantive bill, filled with substantive issues, that keeps the government from shutting down and costing our economy billions as it did last time. Cruz had every opportunity to criticize the bill, or explain what was wrong with it, or why he didn’t think it was good enough. Rather than give a substantive answer, Cruz decided to attack the questioner. Cruz was either being politically astute, or suffering from a distorted memory. Much of the Republican party is built on ideas that simply disagree with the facts. Cutting taxes does not cause growth — it never has. It is refreshing, however, to see that Gov. Kasich is honest enough to stand on stage and call these tax proposals crazy. Wealth also does not trickle down. Making the wealthy richer does not help anyone else. Climate change exists. The rise in health care costs has slowed. Under President Obama the deficit has been cut by more than half. Tax rates are well below the historical average. Non-defense discretionary spending (which doesn’t include Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security) is hovering around an all-time low in modern history. But if you confront a conservative with any of these facts you must be part of the liberal mainstream media. The fallout from the debate has been so great the Republican National Committee has ended its partnership with NBC, canceling a February debate, by saying, “What took place Wednesday night was not an attempt to give the American people a greater understanding of our candidates’ policies and ideas.” The purpose of a debate should not be to better understand policies. The first purpose of a debate is to help the American people decide who they want to vote for. In order to cast the best vote possible, the American people need to know when they are being lied to, and by whom. The candidates are right, the media is often less-thanstellar. These people are running to be the leader of the free world. However, the press has a constitutional protection because they have to be the watchdog on government, or on those who run for positions in it, or more importantly at the top of it. The media should be holding the feet of every candidate to the fire. But instead they let lies fly by without scrutiny. This happens on both ends of the political spectrum, not just in debates. For liberals the media let gun control, the gender pay gap, the failures of the Affordable Care Act and the one in five rape statistic go completely unchecked. One of the media’s role is to criticise candidates; someone who wants to be president should be ready and willing to take every tough question.

‘Kentucky’ already taken
UK wrong to threaten company over the use of the word ‘Kentucky’
Have you ever had a crush only to find out the other person was in a relationship? Well, a Kentucky distillery recently found out the hard way that “Kentucky” is already taken. According to Letcher County’s first legal moonshine distillery, Kentucky Mist Moonshine, UK has trademarked “Kentucky” since 1997. Kentucky Mist Moonshine co-owner Colin Fultz said the company just wanted to sell its own T-shirts, not to affiliate with the university, in a phone interview with the Lexington HeraldLeader. Kentucky Mist Moonshine is only using its own name on the apparel. One would assume the concernwould be because the Kentucky Mist Moonshine apparel resembles a UK logo, but that is not the case. Not even close.
“In the letter it said that people may confuse it with UK stuff and it would be deceiving to the public,” said Fultz. “But if you saw anything about our logo,

The letter said, “It is our present position that Kentucky Mist Moonshine Inc.’s use of the mark KENTUCKY MIST MOONSHINE to identify articles of clothing is likely to cause decep-
word “Kentucky” and take away from small businesses is unethical. Kentucky Mist Moonshine, located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, only wants to sell its apparel. According to its Facebook page, Kentucky Mist Moonshine opened in September of this
year. Its products include strawberry, peach, blackberry and apple pie moonshine. Kentucky Mist Moonshine can still keep its name. According to Business Insider, “Owning a trademark has advantages, especially if someone tries to mimic your brand. When you own a trademark, you are protected by law and can more easily ward off copycats.” UK spokesman Jay Blanton told WKYT that UK does not have a problem with the use of the word “Kentucky” in general. However, UK does have a problem with being affiliated with the company. Even so, using one’s power to reign over on small businesses is not like a Kentuckian. Kentuckians are proud of where they come from, lend a helping hand and have southern hospitality. This is not how the university is acting. Email opinions@ kykernel.com
Students should help UK Police
Anonymous tip service allows people to help solve crimes on campus
In a perfect world students could walk home at night without the fear of being assaulted or having their personal belongings stolen. Unfortunately these crimes happen, and university police need every tool possible to solve these crimes. One of the best tools any police department has is the cooperation of citizens. Information from the community can be crucial in solving crimes. Lexington Police Department uses the tip service Bluegrass Crime Stoppers, which allows citizens to phone in anonymous tips about crimes or leave anonymous tips on the program’s website. Calls are not recorded, and there is no caller ID. This anonymity allows people to provide tips without fear of retribution
from the people who committed the crime. Through coordination with local media outlets WLEX-18, WVLK-590 talk radio, and the Lexington Herald Leader, Bluegrass Crime Stoppers releases information on Tuesdays and Thursdays about the Crime of the Week and Most Wanted. Callers also have the opportunity to earn cash rewards if their information leads to the arrests of the department’s Most Wanted Persons or the Crime of the Week suspects. According to a Lexington Herald-Leader article written by a Kernel staffer, since the program started in 1987 is has helped police make 2,694 arrests, led to 8,268 cases cleared, paid out $514,070 in reward
money and helped recover almost $2.8 million. Perhaps best of all, the program runs entirely on private donations and does not use taxpayer dollars. LPD detective Mark Thomas, coordinator for Bluegrass Crime Stoppers, said about 20 percent of the tips lead to arrests. Bluegrass Crime Stoppers is one branch of the national Crime Stoppers program located throughout the country in major city police departments. It started in 1975 in Albuquerque, N.M. when a gas station employee was shot to death. An Albuquerque detective requested a reenactment of the crime from a local TV station and offered a cash reward for information
leading to an arrest. Within 72 hours an individual called in with information about the suspect’s vehicle. The UK Police Department has a similar tool. Students can visit the UKPD website at uky. edu/Police/smart-phone-links. html to find information about TipSubmit Mobile phone app, which allows student to submit anonymous tips about crimes. According to UKPD crime data, some of the more common crimes around campus are theft, and alcohol and drug offenses. UK students and Lexington citizens should take advantage of these services when necessary to support police in solving crimes in our community. Email opinions@ kykernel.com
Resisting arrest charges limit freedom
Police have too much power to handcuff innocent people SAVON GRAY Kernel Columnist
Getting arrested for resisting arrest? As asinine as this sounds, this paradox exists in our country and should frighten everyone, even celebrities. On Aug. 22 rapper Wiz Khalifa was thrown to the ground of the Los Angeles International Airport after refusing to step down from his hover board. In video of the altercation posted to his Instagram, six officers are seen restraining the
rapper with three different officers yelling, “stop resisting.” Khalifa said, “I’m not resisting sir,” multiple times as the officers handcuff him. On Jan. 27, San Francisco attorney Jami Tillotson was arrested after denying a plainclothes sergeant permission to take photos of her clients. In video of the exchange, Tillotson said to the seargent, “I’m pretty sure that we’re okay here. We don’t need any pictures taken.” The officer said, “No, you’re not pretty sure. If you continue with this ... I will arrest you for resisting arrest.” Tillotson said, “Please do,”
and then she was put in handcuffs. This event took place ironically in the Hall of Justice in San Francisco. It seems as though many officers manipulate the charge of “resisting arrest” for their own means. Though there are many circumstances where the suspect is resisting and needs to be restrained, there are also many instances where the power to make someone “stop resisting” is abused. In a crowded area, yelling “stop resisting” could cause the crowd to think the suspect is actually resisting, making whatever the officer chooses to do acceptable, as in the case of Khalifa. In the case of Tillotson, the crime of “resisting arrest” was used to allow the officers to continue to take pic-
tures of her clients without explanation. In 2014, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said rather than fight back, an individual should submit to police and be taken under arrest. “When a police officer comes to the decision that it’s time to arrest someone, that individual is obligated to submit to arrest. They will then have every opportunity for due process in our court system.” In a system that killed Eric Garner in broad daylight, and is under investigation for murdering Sandra Bland, due process doesn’t always lead to justice. As an African American in this country, there are many examples of people who look like me, who do not make it out of police stations and jails alive.
Having to submit to an officer, for a crime you did not commit, or for no crime at all, is a reality that we should not have to face. Supreme Court case Housh v. People ruled that, “an arrest made with a defective warrant, or one issued without affidavit, or one that fails to allege a crime is within jurisdiction, and one who is being arrested, may resist arrest and break away.” There is precedent in our court system that allows people to not submit to unlawful arrests, however because fear of consequence for practicing this (and police officers that will arrest by any means), this solution is rarely used.

Student council promotes a diverse campus By Yuzhou Tian
features@kykernel.com
The International Student Council, an on-campus organization that promotes communication among all international student organizations, holds many events to bring international and national students together. One of the upcoming events is called Global Pawprint. “It is just another name for our culture fest,” said ISC Vice President Asri Syafrin, a chemi-
cal engineering senior. “We want everyone to learn or get introduced to new cultures as well as introduce their own culture,” Syafrin said. “We want everyone to feel connected to each other, because diversity is what makes the world a beautiful place to live.” ISC president and equine science and business management junior Tiffany Molina said the event will offer music and performances by UK students and others from Lexington. “Our goal this semester is to
make ISC stronger,” Molia said. “To let more international organizations in UK cooperate with us and trust us, integrate more international students who are new here and hold events with more fun.” A social speed dating activity is another highlight of ISC. “The audience might have short conversations with each other,” Molina said. “Our big mission is to integrate the international community and national community.” Bridge The Gap is a panel
discussion between international student representatives and faculty and staff at UK. These discussions are focused on issues related to academic and social topics, as well as housing, dining and campus life for international students. Molina said the event provides a safe place where students can talk about concerns without scruple. “You can feel that you are not just one random student of a huge university, you actually like being heard,” Molina said. Molina said she thought
ISC’s best event last semester was the Global Gala, an event where students wear traditional outfits from their countries. “It was a huge success because around 300 international and national students came, enjoyed international performances, a fashion show and international food together,” Molina said. Molina said the members of ISC braintstorm event ideas, coordinate volunteers and money to hold the events. Companies and organizations
such as Sweet Mango support their events by giving them the goods they might need to turn their plans into actions. The ISC also plans the notification for the events through posts on Facebook and mail. As president of ISC, Molina enjoyed taking part in the events as well. “It is cool to see people in different nationalities and culture,” Molina said. “Also it is a good chance to make friends and train your ability of teamwork.”

Cats keep true to losing tradition UK’s hopes to reach bowl game start to dwindle after losing third straight game JOSHUA HUFF Kernel Columnist
On the day the world witnessed the storied American Pharaoh gallop triumphantly into the annals of history, the city of Lexington witnessed its own triumph as UK stuck to its guns and continued a long, storied history of losing to Tennessee, 52-21. On a chilly, blustery Halloween night, the black-clad Cats did not disappoint. Faced with the prospect of recording a rare win in one of the nation’s most lopsided “rivalries,” UK did what more than 80 years of tradition dictated: losing to Tennessee. And boy, did the Cats follow that letter to the T. The defeat was UK’s 30th loss to the Volunteers in 31 games. Since 1932, Tennessee is 78-24-
9 against UK, including 37-14-3 when playing the Cats in Lexington. In the onset of the game, UK welcomed the spirit of Halloween night, scaring fans throughout the first half as it kept Tennessee within striking distance. At one point, the Cats even took two leads, 7-0 and 14-10, but they quickly realized the error of their ways. Tennessee scored four straight touchdowns to realign the stars and proceeded to go on a 42-7 run just to be sure. And with more than 20 recruits in town to witness the defeat, UK did its best to impress the young footballers with a blend of dropped passes, poor offensive line play, terrible tackling and even worse run defense. The Cats can only hope that these youngsters embrace a history of mediocrity because UK takes the term “a work in progress” to another level. A game removed from being thumped by Mississippi State,
Cats to attack Titans early By Arpan Dixit sports@kykernel.com
Winning three of its last four, the UK men’s soccer team is poised for another solid outing against University of Detroit 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Bell. The Cats will look to put away the Titans and focus on the remaining two games left on its schedule before conference play begins. UK After a season-high fivegame winning streak came to a end against Ohio State earlier this month, the Cats have managed to win two out of the last three, with one tie. Wins over Old Dominion and South Carolina have boosted the Cats’ confidence with three games remaining on the season. UK will be facing a struggling Detroit team that has not managed to win the close ones this year. Look for the Cats to attack aggressively early and put away a Detroit team that is searching for its seventh win of the season. Player to watch: Sam Miller The junior forward scored his second goal of the season in a win against the UAB Blazers on Wednesday. Wilson has a total of three points now on the season and is looking to use this game as a confidence booster.
Miller’s goal was set up by none other than Napo Matsoso, who has made a living torching defenses and setting up his teammates for scores. If Miller enters the game, look for him to use last game as a stepping stone to finish the season on a high note. DETROIT Although the Titans have tied a total of eight times this season, they have managed to win their last two against Milwaukee and IPFW. Five straight ties came during the months of late September and early October, making it a frustrating time for the Titans in 2015. After winning two in a row, confidence should be at the all-time high coming into Lexington. The team must defend as hard as they have all season to get another clean sheet. Player to watch: Tyler Moorman The junior midfielder leads the team in goals this season and is second in points with eight. Moorman has taken 34 shots this season, keeping opponents on their toes. Moorman was named to the Radisson Invitational All-Tournament Team so the potential for starplay is there. UK should focus on Moorman throughout the game and limit him from his favorite parts of the field.
the assumption that UK would respond positively on a night that concluded a weekend of festivities would be logical. That assumption, however, would be wrong.
The wide outs drop more passes than Charlie Brown misses kicks, and the defense is awful.” It’s easy to toss around statistics to sum up UK’s foolhardy attempt at defeating Tennessee. The best descriptor, however, lies not in numbers, but in words: UK played worse than a Philadelphia Eagles Sam Brad-
ford-led offense. If that imagery doesn’t hold any weight for you then picture this: UK had two total yards of offense after the first quarter. Tennessee’s quarterback Joshua Dobbs, had more rushing attempts in the quarter (4) than Patrick Towles had passing yards (3). The offense was so inefficient that the Cleveland Browns would hesitate starting Towles. The issue for UK now is moving past the “what” and towards the “what now.” The Cats next face a Georgia team that was embarrassed by Florida on Saturday. To add to UK’s woes: Towles’ confidence appears shattered, the offensive line is in shambles, the wide outs drop more passes than Charlie Brown misses kicks, and the defense is awful. So, what now? It’s safe to say Towles’ time as starter is entering its twilight. If UK truly wants that bowl game,
Towles gives UK its best chance at achieving it. Should Stoops replace him with either Drew Barker or Reese Phillips, Stoops will be tossing a red-cheeked quarterback in behind an offensive line that is bad as there is in the Southeastern Conference. It’s a lose-lose situation. The only thing Stoops can do is weather the storm. The calls for his head will begin and the warmth of Miami will become more enticing. With Stanley “Boom” Williams out with an elbow injury, a defense that is sorely missing its rock, Melvin Lewis, the problems will continue to add up. As UK’s SEC slate continues, the losses will probably pile up. For a program that embraces the motto “Why Not Us,” these midseason slumps do nothing to energize a fanbase bored with the same old talk. They want action, and Saturday’s loss did nothing to prove that action is in the realm of possibility.
Volleyball rallies to beat LSU
UK earns 9th SEC win behind efforts of Bergren, Brown By Caitlin Schwartz sports@kykernel.com
Coming off a four-set loss to Texas A&M at home on Friday, the Cats rallied to defeat the LSU Tigers 3-1 (25-18, 22-25, 25-12, 25-12) on Sunday. In 2014, LSU defeated the Cats in a five-set thriller at Memorial Coliseum to earn the team’s first win over a ranked opponent on the road in four seasons. Although LSU looked for the same magic it had last time the two sides met in Lexington, the magic was not on the Tigers’ side. The Cats took the first set with a 25-18 win. Sophomore outside hitter Darian Mack came out swinging for UK and boosted the team offensively with 12 kills. Senior setter Morgan Bergren had 37 assists while Ashley Dusek led the team defensively with 21 digs. Bergren’s 37 assists on Sunday pushed her past the 3,500-assist mark in her career. She became the fifth UK player and 20th active player in the NCAA to record 3,500 assists. LSU came out stronger in the second set tying the match 1-1 with a 25-22 win. Mack added two kills to her set total of nine, while
sophomore middle blocker Kaz Brown added six kills to the mix. The Tigers’ hitting percentage topped the Cats’ at the end of the second set, with .586 for LSU and .400 for UK. UK topped its strength in the third set, ending it quickly with an astounding 25-12 win. The Cats then replicated the third set by taking the fourth set 25-12, which gave the team the overall win and kept head coach Craig Skinner happy. “More than anything today, I liked the fight we showed after the break,” said Skinner. “It’s an important piece of how we play, and it needs to continue. Obviously our block was non-existent in the first two sets, but really came strong later. I have to give a lot of credit to Kaz (Brown) for making an impact with her blocking. I was also very pleased with our serve reception for the most part, I thought they did a great job giving us a lot of options offensively.” Brown ended the match leading the team with a dominant 16 kills, and an impressive .682 hitting clip. The sophomore is No. 8 in the nation in blocks per set, averaging 1.57. “We saw that their blockers were going to be a little bit shorter, which is an advantage for me,” Brown said. “It gave

me a lot of options of where I can hit the ball.” UK moves to 16-7 on the season and 9-2 in SEC, and will hit the road for a pair of away matches.
The Cats travel to Georgia on Nov. 5, then to Tennessee on Nov. 8. The first serve against Georgia is scheduled for 7 p.m.
