2006 Kentucky Wildcats Season, Game Recaps, Scores and Reviews
Dec. 28
Music City Bowl
Kentucky 28 ... Clemson 20
A fired up Kentucky team scored 21 straight points on three
Andre Woodson touchdown passes with a 70-yard play to DeMoreo Ford,
sparked by a little trickery on a fake punt on the previous play, a
24-yard pass to Dicky Lyons, and a 13-yard pass to Jacob Tamme for a
28-6 lead it was able to hold on to deep into the fourth quarter.
Clemson's offense struggled for about 50 minutes only managing a
32-yard touchdown catch from Durrell Barry until Will Proctor threw
the second of three touchdown passes on the day on a 17-yard play
with 7:25 remaining. In a mad scramble, the Tigers were able to go
74 yards in eight plays finishing with a 17-yard touchdown catch
from Aaron Kelly, followed up by a two-point conversion, to pull
within eight with less than a minute remaining. Player of the game ...
Kentucky QB Andre
Woodson completed 20 of 28 passes for 299 yards and three touchdowns Stat Leaders: Clemson- Passing: Will Proctor, 23-39, 272
yds, 3 TD, 1 INT Rushing: James Davis, 8-53 Receiving: Aaron Kelly, 6-66, 1
TD Kentucky - Passing: Andre Woodson, 20-28, 299
yds, 3 TD
Rushing: Rafael Little, 17-54 Receiving: Keenan Burton, 5-30 Notes & Thoughts ... Kentucky had the fan base and the
fire, while Clemson appeared to be going through the motions for way
too long. The Tigers were outplayed and outcoached as Rich Brooks
and his staff pulled out all the stops, and QB Andre Woodson was
terrific. He didn't make the mistakes needed to get Clemson back
into the game early, and he showed to a national audience, and to
all the scouts, how he can make all the throws. ... Where was the
Clemson offensive line? UK's defense has been pushed around all
season long, but the Tigers never got the running game on track, and
all but abandoned it when things started to go south. Had Clemson
been patient, stuck with the ground attack, and pounded, pounded,
pounded, it would've worked well late. As Arkansas can attest to,
sometimes the best home runs come from the backs, and James Davis
and C.J. Spiller can certainly tear off yards in chunks. When QB
Will Proctor gets the most carries and Davis and Spiller combine for
13, things aren't working.
Nov. 25
Tennessee 17 ... Kentucky 12
Tennessee got out early 10-0 on a James Wilhoit 24-yard field
goal and a 15-yard touchdown catch from Robert Meachem, but had to
hold on for dear life. UK scored all its points in the second
quarter on two field goals and a five-yard Rafael Little touchdown
catch, and had a shot to take the lead late getting down to the
Volunteer six before stalling after a Andre Woodson misfired on a
fourth down pass. LaMarcus Coker scored on a one-yard run to give
the Vols the lead early in the fourth quarter. Player of the game ...
Tennessee WR
Robert Meachem caught six passes for 116 yards and a touchdown Stat Leaders: Tennessee- Passing: Erik Ainge, 15-33, 240
yds, 1 TD Rushing: Lamarcus Coker, 22-90, 1 TD Receiving: Robert Meachem,
6-116, 1 TD Kentucky - Passing: Andre Woodson, 26-39, 282
yds, 1 TD
Rushing: Rafael Little, 23-119 Receiving: Jacob Tamme, 7-120 Whoopty doo. What does it all mean Basil? ... After the
way the defense played against UL Monroe, it was night and day
better against Tennessee. The corners held their own more often than
not against the great UT receiving corps, while the run defense
didn't give up any home runs. UK, after the way this season has
gone, wasn't going to be happy with a loss no matter what, but it
proved it could play well against one of the league's better teams.
Now the team has to prove this year was for real with a good
performance in the bowl.
Nov. 18
Kentucky 42 ... UL Monroe 40
UL Monroe's two-point conversion attempt after a one-yard
Kinsmon Lanscaster touchdown run came up short as Kentucky held on in
the final minute to get the tough win. The Wildcats roared out to a
28-10 lead helped by two of Keenan Burton's three touchdown catches and
an 84-yard Rafael Little punt return for a score, but the Warhawks
stayed alive with three Calvin Dawson touchdown runs after opening the
scoring with a blocked field goal for a score from Greg James. The two
teams combined for 958 yards and 52 first downs. Player of the game
...
Kentucky QB Andre Woodson threw for 359 yards and three touchdowns on
25-of-35 passing. Stat Leaders: UL Monroe- Passing: Kinsmon
Lancaster, 8-15, 128 yds, 1 INT Rushing: Calvin Dawson, 26-179, 3 TDs Receiving:
LaGregory Sapp, 4-104 Kentucky - Passing: Andre Woodson, 25-35, 359 yds,
3 TDs
Rushing: Rafael Little, 19-82 Receiving: Keenan Burton,
9-115, 3 TDs Whoopty doo. What does it all mean Basil? ... If UL
Monroe isn’t the worst team in America, it’s in the team photo, yet the
UK defense made the Warhawks look like Ohio State. The run defense was
non-existent with the ULM running game working well inside and out.
Andre Woodson and Keenan Burton once again came up with tremendous games
to save the day, but to have any shot against Tennessee, the linebackers
have to be night-and-day better over the next week. The Vols will roll
for at least 500 yards, so the UK offense had better be ready for a
shootout.
Nov. 11
Kentucky 38 ... Vanderbilt 26
In a wild shootout with 1,218 yards of total offense and 896
passing yards, Kentucky became bowl eligible thanks to a 21-point fourth
quarter to pull away with Andre Woodson throwing two of his four
touchdown passes, and Rafael Little running for a three-yard score.
Vanderbilt got huge days from QB Chris Nickson and WR Earl Bennett as
the two combined 11 times for 220 yards and a 41-yard touchdown, while
Nickson ran for two touchdowns. Keenan Burton caught 11 passes for 17
1yards with touchdowns from six and 57 yards out. Player of the game ... Kentucky QB Andre Woodson
completed 29 of 42 passes for 250 yards and four touchdowns Stat Leaders: Vanderbilt- Passing: Chris
Nickson, 23-27, 446 yds, 1 TD, 2 INT Rushing: Chris Nickson, 16-71, 2 TD. Receiving:
Earl Bennett, 11-220, 1 TD Kentucky - Passing: Andre Woodson, 29-42,
450 yds, 4 TD
Rushing: Rafael Little, 20-132, 1 TD Receiving:
Keenan Burton, 11-171, 2 TD Whoopty doo. What does it all mean Basil? ... It can't be understated just how big bowl
eligibility is at Kentucky. After years and years of futility for Rich
Brooks, getting the extra game, thanks to a three-game winning streak,
means everything. The defense continues to be awful, but the improvement
of Andre Woodson week by week has made the offense so explosive that it
can strike from anywhere, anytime. It doesn't hurt to get Rafael Little
back as the do-it-all difference maker to use as a safety valve for the
passing game as well as a runner. The good vibes will continue with UL
Monroe up next week before the regular season finale against Tennessee.
Nov. 4
Kentucky 24 ... Georgia 20
Kentucky's Tony Dixon ran for a three-yard touchdown with just
over a minute to play, and then Trevard Lindley sealed the upset
picking off Matthew Stafford. The Bulldogs took the lead halfway
through the third quarter on a three-yard Danny Ware touchdown run,
but the extra point went wide leaving the door open for UK to tie it
with a field goal and leading to the Dixon run. Stafford threw a
ten-yard touchdown pass to Mario Raley in the first quarter and
Brannan Southerland ran for a one-yard score to take a 14-3 lead in
the first half, but UK came back on two Keenan Burton touchdown
catches. Player of the game ... Kentucky WR Keenan Burton caught
seven passes for 73 yards and two touchdowns and returned four
kickoffs for 83 yards Stat Leaders: Georgia- Passing: Matthew
Stafford, 16-28, 230 yds, 1 TD, 3 INT Rushing: Kregg Lumpkin, 13-85. Receiving:
Martrez Milner, 4-70 Kentucky - Passing: Andre Woodson, 23-32,
204 yds, 2 TD, 2 INT
Rushing: Alfonso Smith, 19-76 Receiving:
Keenan Burton, 7-73, 2 TD Whoopty doo. What does it all mean Basil? ... Give Kentucky credit for showing plenty of
heart. Georgia came up with the big score late to take all the
momentum, but Andre Woodson and the offense went on a brilliant
11-play, 69-yard drive going for a touchdown all the way when it
could've just played for a field goal. With Rafael Little still out
of the mix, the running game still rumbled on the tough Dawg D with
Alfonso Smith and Tony Dixon coming up with nice days to take the
heat of Andre Woodson. Now the Cats just need to beat Vanderbilt, UL
Monroe or Tennessee over the last three weeks to go bowling.
Oct. 28
Kentucky 34 ... Mississippi State 31
Kentucky got three touchdown passes from Andre Woodson with
two to Keenan Burton including a 33-yard play in the fourth quarter, and
then the D held on as Tony Burks caught his second touchdown pass of the
game and Anthony Dixon ran for a one-yard score to pull within three,
but UK was able to run out the clock. Burks caught a 75-yard touchdown
pass in the first half as Michael Henig bombed away for 384 yards and
three touchdowns, but MSU had no running game gaining just 24 yards. Player of the game ... Kentucky QB Andre Woodson
completed 19 of 28 passes for 284 yards and three touchdowns with an
interception Stat Leaders: Mississippi State- Passing:
Michael Henig, 22-41, 384 yds, 3 TD, 2 INT Rushing: Brandon Thornton, 9-17, Receiving:
Tony Burks, 7-192, 1 TD Kentucky - Passing: Andre Woodson, 19-28,
284 yds, 3 TD, 1 INT
Rushing: Alfonso Smith, 17-92, 1 TD. Receiving:
Dicky Lyons, 8-117, 1 TD Whoopty doo. What does it all mean Basil? ... Kentucky
didn't have its best defensive game against Mississippi State getting
thrown on for 384 yards, but the run defense was a rock. Andre Woodson
has shown he can be effective against bad defenses, and he's always
better when there's a running game to support him with Alfonso Smith
coming up with a nice game against the Bulldogs. UK has now won more
games than it did last season, and with winnable dates against
Vanderbilt and UL Monroe ahead, a bowl game is there for the taking.
Fortunately, the secondary will get a break over the next three weeks
against average passing teams.
Oct. 14
LSU 49 ... Kentucky 0
LSU rolled over Kentucky with 278 passing yards and 268 on the
ground with JaMarcus Russell and Matt Flynn each throwing two
touchdown passes and Jacob Hester running for two first half scores.
Russell connected with Dwayne Bowe on first half scoring passes from
seven and 48 yards out on the way to a 28-0 first half lead, and
then Bowe caught an eight-yard touchdown pass from Matt Flynn in the
third. Kentucky only gained 227 yards of total offense. Player of the game ... LSU WR Dwayne Bowe caught six
passes for 111 yards and three touchdowns Stat Leaders: LSU- Passing: JaMarcus
Russell, 15-18, 226 yds, 2 TD Rushing: Charles Scott, 9-56, Receiving:
Dwayne Bowe, 6-111, 3 TD Kentucky - Passing: Andre Woodson, 14-37,
151 yds, 1 INT
Rushing: Curtis Pulley, 5-32. Receiving: Keenan
Burton, 7-62 Whoopty doo. What does it all mean Basil? ... With a
winnable game against Mississippi State coming up, the Wildcats need
to have a short memory and get over the flop against LSU. The Tigers
are rocking at home against everyone, so there's no reason to get
too upset about the blowout loss. It would've been nice if Andre
Woodson could've generated some sort of an offense, but it didn't
happen. UK can't commit nine penalties and go five of 17 on third
downs against the better teams.
Oct. 7
South Carolina 24 ... Kentucky 17
Trick plays proved to be the difference as South Carolina took
the lead for good on a double reverse that turned into a 22-yard
touchdown pass from WR Kenny McKinley to a QB Syvelle Newton. Newton
also ran for a seven-yard score, and Cory Boyd ran for a five yard
touchdown. Kentucky used a sneaky play getting QB Andre Woodson into the
end zone from a yard out and got a nine-yard touchdown catch to Dicky
Lyons with less than three minutes to play, but a last gasp drive
stalled just past midfield. Player of the game ... South Carolina RB Cory Boyd ran
25 times for 113 yards and a touchdown and led the team with four
catches for 61 yards. Stat Leaders: Kentucky- Passing: Andre
Woodson, 18-31, 289 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT Rushing: Rafael Little, 13-50. Receiving:
Jacob Tamme, 4-48 South Carolina - Passing: Syvelle Newton,
14-22, 171 yds, 1 INT
Rushing: Cory Boyd, 25-113, 1 TD Receiving:
Cory Boyd, 4-61 Whoopty doo. What does it all mean Basil? ... UK might
not have beaten South Carolina, but it hung around and stayed in the
game late even though the running game wasn't working and the passing
attack was less than effective. Andre Woodson continues to play well,
but it would be nice if Rafael Little could finally get healthy and play
like the do-it-all star of last year. Converting more third down chances
will be key to stay with LSU next week.
Sept. 30
Kentucky 45 ... Central Michigan 36
Kentucky survived 558 yards of total Central Michigan offense
thanks to a quick 21-0 lead on three of Andre Woodson's four touchdown
passes and a three-yard Rafael Little scoring run with 4:30 to play to
finally put the game away. With backup quarterback Dan LeFevour leading
the way, CMU mounted a tremendous comeback with four touchdown passes
including two to Damien Linson and a 23-yard play to Bryan Anderson to
pull within two with just under seven minutes to play, but the two-point
conversion failed and UK went on a 65-yard scoring drive culminating in
the Little run. CMU fumbled eight times and lost three to go along with
an interception. Player of the game ... Kentucky WR Keenan Burton caught
nine passes for 124 yards and two touchdowns Stat Leaders: Kentucky- Passing: Andre
Woodson, 20-32, 266 yds, 4 TD, 1 INT Rushing: Rafael Little, 12-70, 1 TD Receiving:
Keenan Burton, 9-124, 2 TD Central Michigan - Passing: Dan LeFevour,
22-38, 360 yds, 4 TD
Rushing: Marcel Archer, 16-69 . Receiving: Bryan
Anderson, 8-137, 1 TD Whoopty doo. What does it all mean Basil? ...
Kentucky's defense didn't show up against Central Michigan and it almost
meant an epic collapse. Fortunately for the Wildcats, there were just
enough turnovers and just enough big plays from Andre Woodson and the
offense to survive. It's doubtful South Carolina will be able to put up
big offensive numbers next week, but stopping the short to midrange
passing game is going to be an issue if the back seven plays like it did
against CMU.
Sept. 23
Florida 26 ... Kentucky 7
Florida wasn't sharp, but it had few problems with Kentucky
thanks to DeShawn Wynn and the running game which cranked out 203
yards and a 13-yard touchdown dash from Wynn with :22 left in the
first half and a four-yard scoring run from Kestahn Moore in the
third quarter. Jemalle Cornelius started off the scoring with a
33-yard touchdown grab, but the extra point was blocked. Kentucky
took the lead late in the first half on a one-yard Maurice Grinter
touchdown catch, but the Gators answered with a 78-yard drive
in 1:37 culminating with the Wynn score. Kentucky was without star
RB Rafael Little, who sat out with an injury. Player of the game ... Florida RB DeShawn Wynn ran 12
times for 95 yards and a score Stat Leaders: Kentucky- Passing: Andre
Woodson, 22-31, 195 yds, 1 TD Rushing: Tony Dixon, 6-24 Receiving:
Curtis Pulley, 5-59 Florida - Passing: Chris Leak, 12-20, 214
yds, 1 TD
Rushing: DeShawn Wynn, 12-95, 1 TD. Receiving:
Dallas Baker, 4-89 Whoopty doo. What does it all mean Basil? ... Kentucky didn't play all that
poorly in the loss to Florida, but it needed more weapons,
particularly RB Rafael Little, and the offensive line struggled in
pass protection. The defense came up with a nice game from the
secondary and showed that this isn't the same old Kentucky that'll
get pushed around by the big boys. Of course, the run D got pushes
around, but the team stayed in it until late. There can't be a
letdown next week against Central Michigan in a must win to keep
bowl hopes alive.
Sept. 16
Kentucky 31 ... Ole Miss 14
Kentucky took advantage of five Ole Miss turnovers to overcome
an early 7-0 lead and break open a 14-14 tie with 17 unanswered
points highlighted by a 22-yard touchdown pass to Curtis Pulley.
Dicky Lyons score UK's first two touchdowns of the day on a 26-yard
pass from Andrew Woodson and a six-yard play early in the third
quarter. Ole Miss started off the scoring with a 47-yard touchdown
catch from Marshay Green and got a 27-yard scoring grab from Robert
Hough, but the turnovers proved to be too costly. Player of the game ... Kentucky QB Andre Woodson
completed 21of 34 passes for 290 yards and three touchdowns Stat Leaders: Kentucky - Passing: Andre
Woodson, 21-34, 290 yds, 3 TD Rushing: Rafael Little, 12-57. Receiving:
Dicky Lyons, 4-83, 2 TD Ole Miss - Passing: Brent Schaeffer,
13-26, 190 yds, 2 TD, 1 INT
Rushing: BenJarvis Green-Ellis, 19-85. Receiving:
Marshay Green, 3-53, 1 TD Whoopty doo. What does it all mean Basil? ...
Shhhhhh. Don't look now, but Kentucky is
in a great position for a bowl bid. With four more wins needed after
the great game against Ole Miss, it has good shots at beating
Central Michigan, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt and UL Monroe. An
upset over someone like South Carolina would help. What's most
impressive has been how QB Andre Woodson has stepped up. RB Rafael
Little hasn't been nearly the same producer he was last year.
Eventually, he'll have to get the ground game going.
Sept. 9
Kentucky 41 ... Texas State 7
It took about a quarter, but Kentucky got on a run with a
27-point first half on two Andre Woodson touchdown passes to Dicky
Lyons, an eight-yard Tony Dixon scoring run, and a 17-yard John
Connor touchdown catch. Rafael Little added a 24-yard touchdown run
in the third quarter and Maurice Grinter scored from one-yard out
for a 41-0 lead before TSU scored on a four-yard Cameron Luke catch.
UK outgained Texas State 425 yards to 210. Player of the game ... Kentucky QB Andre Woodson
completed 13 of 20 passes for 197 yards and three touchdowns and an
interception Stat Leaders: Kentucky - Passing: Andre
Woodson, 13-20, 197 yds, 3 TD, 1 INT Rushing: Rafael Little, 12-91, 1 TD. Receiving:
Keenan Burton, 5-80 Texas State - Passing: Chase Wasson,
9-20, 85 yds, 1 TD, 1 INT
Rushing: Chase Wasson, 11-44. Receiving: Adrian
Thomas, 2-52 Whoopty doo. What does it all mean Basil? ... Kentucky
got to take its frustrations from the Louisville game out on poor
Texas State with an easy whupping, and now it has to find the same
sort of offensive consistency against Ole Miss next week in the SEC
opener. The 178 rushing yards were nice, but the solid performance.
The only problem was the nine penalties for 101 yards. For UK to win
in the SEC, it has to do all the little things right.
Sept. 3
Louisville 59 ... Kentucky 28
Louisville blasted Kentucky with 631 yards, outrushed the Cats
363 yards to 22, and scored 14 points in each quarter except for the
second when it put up 17, but it was still a disappointing night
after star RB Michael Bush broke his leg and is out for the year.
Bush scored three touchdowns in the first 20 minutes as the
Cardinals jumped out to a 31-0 lead, but Kentucky hit on several big
plays to make it interesting with a 73-yard pass play and a 100-yard
kickoff return for a score from Keenan Burton and an 80-yard
touchdown from Dicky Lyons, but it wasn't nearly enough. Player of the game ... Louisville RB Michael Bush ran
17 times for 128 yards and three touchdowns. Stat Leaders: Kentucky - Passing: Andre
Woodson, 9-24, 231 yds, 3 TD Rushing: Rafael Little, 7-21. Receiving:
Keenan Burton, 4-127, 1 TD Louisville - Passing: Brian Brohm, 19-31,
254 yds, 1 TD
Rushing: Michael Bush, 17-128, 3 TD. Receiving:
Harry Douglas, 5-87 Whoopty doo. What does it all mean Basil? ...
Kentucky got several big plays against
Louisville, but it just wasn't consistent enough on offense to keep
the Cardinal offense off the field. Louisville has the type of
offense that can blow up anyone, so UK has to put this game out of
mind and get things working against Texas State. If the Cats can
beat Ole Miss in two weeks, all will quickly be forgotten. To do
that, UK has to average more than 1.2 yards per carry.
Is Kentucky a case of a young team on the verge of doing
some big things after suffering through growing pains, or did head
coach Rich Brooks and his staff stock the shelves for next year's
coaching staff to shine with?
With five wins in the last two seasons and one winning campaign
since 2000, UK football hasn't exactly been a juggernaut. There are
several obvious issues from the perception of being a basketball
school to the rough life in the SEC, but if Louisville can become a
powerhouse, then so can Kentucky ... some day.
50 lettermen and 14 starters return providing experience, but this
is still a very, very young team relying on several sophomores
needing to play like longtime veterans. There are still too many
question marks and a sure problem with continuity just about
everywhere, so it might be another long season unless everything
clicks at once.
Who's the starting
quarterback going to be? Can the veteran offensive line get any sort of
a push for the ground game? Is there a number two receiver to help out
Keenan Burton, and can Burton finally stay healthy? Will the front four
do anything after getting shoved all over the place while failing to
generate any sort of a pass rush? Can the secondary pick off a pass
after helping the D pick off only five passes? Can new placekicker J.J.
Housley produce like Taylor Begley? And the biggest question of all, is
Rich Brooks the right coach for the program?
This has been asked from the moment his was hired a few years ago with
some UKers considering him a lame-duck coach after all the problems of
the last two years. Of the nine wins in the Books era, two have been
against D-IAA teams, two have been over Vanderbilt, two have been over
Mississippi State, two have been over Indiana, and one was against Ohio.
Brooks doesn't have to win the SEC East, but his team has to be far more
competitive against the big boys and could use a win over someone with a
pulse.
Can Kentucky do what Vanderbilt did last year and be a surprise team in
the East? It has the potential and enough athleticism to come close, and
the schedule is conducive to flirting with bowl eligibility. No matter
what happens, this will be a turning point season for the program.
The
Schedule:
If you're assuming the battles against heavyweights like Louisville,
Florida, LSU and Tennessee are going to be losses no matter what, then
playing those games on the road is a plus. The SEC slate is as easy as
it can possibly get playing Ole Miss and Mississippi State from the
West. The home slate is conducive for at least five wins with Texas
State, Central Michigan, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt and UL Monroe all
must-victories to have any dreams of a bowl bid, while the road trip to
Mississippi State has to be circled as an opportunity for another win.
There's a nice stretch of three home games late in the season before
finishing up against Tennessee.
Best
Offensive Player: Junior RB Rafael Little. Can the do-it-all star
stay healthy? He led the team in rushing and receiving last year and was
one of the nation's best punt returners. There's more talent around him
this year, but he'll be the sparkplug who makes everything else go. He
was dinged up in spring ball and has to play a full season for the
Wildcats to have any hope of winning six games.
Best
Defensive Player:
Junior LB Wesley Woodyard. Cornerback Bo Smith was in the running
for the honor of being the team's best defensive player before getting
booted off the team. Woodyard move
from safety last season to outside linebacker and was a smashing success
leading the team in tackles while continuing to be a strong player in
pass coverage. He's expected to wreak even more havoc on the weakside
now that he knows what he's doing.
Key player
to a successful season:
Junior QB Andre Woodson and/or sophomore QB Cutis Pulley.
They're accurate combining to complete 59% of their passes last season,
but one has to step up and become the playmaking leader of the team.
Woodson is a linebacker-sized passer while Pulley is a dual-threat
athlete with a ton of upside. All that matters is putting points on the
board, and one has to show he can do it.
The season
will be a success if ... Kentucky wins six games and is better against the big boys.
There's absolutely no reason to shoot for anything less than a bowl game
considering the relatively easy schedule. Beating teams like LSU,
Florida and Tennessee might be too much to ask for, but the Wildcats
have to be more competitive against the good teams. Anything less than
the post-season might mean the end of the Rich Brooks era.
Key game:
October 7 vs. South Carolina. Consider this the litmus test for
where the program is at. This isn't a good enough team with at Florida,
and it's strong enough to beat Ole Miss, Mississippi State and
Vanderbilt. South Carolina is a mid-level team coming into Lexington
thinking it can roll over UK after winning 44-16. With games against LSU
and Georgia over the next few weeks, a win over the Gamecocks might be a
must.
