Phillips says UK will look to use same formula of limiting turnovers the Cats used to knock off No. 1 LSU in 2007.

Phillips: “We’ll have to use the same formula (as ’07) … get the ball back to the line of scrimmage, punt the ball away if we have to.”

Phillips said UK has two tempos for the no-huddle. A hurry-up and a slow-down no-huddle. Used the latter against UF’s pressure D.

Said it’s hard to hurry up against a blitzing defense, because you need to check the D before the snap, maybe audible.

But Joker cautions that addition of Texas A&M doesn’t necessarily help any SEC school get into Texas as a recruiting base.
