Breaking down the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl on Sunday between Clemson and Kentucky : WHO TO WATCH: Sophomore Randall Cobb was the SEC's most versatile player this season, and Kentucky would like to get him at least 20 touches.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Five seasons ago the University of Kentucky football team won two games.

Few football programs have been as far apart as Tennessee and Kentucky for the last quarter of a century.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Morgan Newton is the University of Kentucky's starting quarterback.

Last week, former Kentucky stars Jeremy Jarmon and Andre Woodson returned to Commonwealth Stadium during their open date with the NFL's Washington Redskins.

It's hard for anyone associated with the Kentucky football program not to think about what life would be like with Jeremy Jarmon still at defensive end for the Wildcats.

Just when you thought Kentucky might be toast, the Wildcats come back swinging and pull off their biggest win of the season.

This week makes a little history for the blog. We have our first two-time contributor to the weekly "View from the other side" segment: Louisville Courier-Journal beat writer Brett Dawson .

LET'S LOOK AHEAD : The Gators have won 22 straight over Kentucky, which might host a recharged Gators team after UF's sloppy 23-13 win over Tennessee.

Quarterbacks Mike Hartline battled through injuries to his top receiver and running back last season to lead the Wildcats to their unprecedented third straight bowl win.

Sometimes it takes a while, even up to a full year, before a final verdict can be reached on junior-college football players.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - Let's be clear: Collins Ukwu would like to start. Ask him, and the University of Kentucky defensive end will provide the proper platitudes about just wanting to play and about finishing a game being more important than starting it.

Not much, which is just how UK wants it. After struggling to replace a constellation of offensive stars a year ago, the Wildcats welcome back 100percent of their passing, 73percent of their rushing and 81.6percent of their receiving yards from a year ago.

Rich Brooks . Last season: 7-6 ; beat East Carolina 25-19 in the Liberty Bowl. The upside: The Wildcats have one of the league's most versatile players in Randall Cobb, who was used as a runner and receiver last season.
