Bad News

If you are counting on me for Wildcat news, know this. Dicky Lyons is out for the season with two torn knee ligaments. He is scheduled for surgery next week. I am not sure that he was the player UK could least afford to lose, but if not he was darn close to it.

John Clay raises an interesting point in his blog today. If the Cats put Cobb in at quarterback, he has one fewer receiver to throw to than Hartline. With Dicky gone, I'd venture to say that receiver is by far the team's best. You can put Cobb back there, but if he has no one to throw to, every team is going to put 9 guys in the box. As George Clooney uttered so famously in, Oh Brother Where Art Thou, "We are in a tight spot."

This is a grim day in Wildcat country.

Huge loss. He's the only guy on the team (except for maybe Cobb who, as you point out, can't throw to himself) who can catch.
