Mike Hartline and Joker Phillips Earn Helmet Stickers

The weekly awards are already starting to roll in for the Cats this week as Chris Low of ESPN.com has given helmet stickers to Mike Hartline and Joker Phillips. I wonder when Joker wears his helmet?

He stood in there repeatedly against a fierce South Carolina rush and completed 32 of 42 passes for 349 yards, for four touchdowns and no interceptions. His 24-yard scoring pass to [URL=”http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/player/profile?playerId=382886″][COLOR=#225db7]Randall Cobb[/COLOR][/URL] on a fourth-and-7 play was the game-winner for the Wildcats in their [URL=”http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId=302890096″][COLOR=#225db7]31-28 victory[/COLOR][/URL] over the Gamecocks. Hartline, who’s been through the ringer during his career at Kentucky, threw three of his touchdowns in the second half to rally the Wildcats from a 28-10 halftime deficit.

[B]Kentucky coach Joker Phillips: [/B]A lot of teams would have folded their tents after getting down 28-10, especially coming off three straight losses. But there’s a toughness and a resilience about the Wildcats that reflects their head coach. Their 31-28 comeback win over South Carolina was Kentucky’s first ever over a Steve Spurrier-coached team, and props go out to Phillips for keeping his team in tune mentally and emotionally during a very difficult stretch.

This is the signature win Joker has been looking for, and hopefully it will be the beginning of a memorable first season for Operation:Win. Georgia is next, and is another must win for the Cats to make another bowl game. Go Cats!!
