Brown knew going into game play that he had some very talented freshmen playmakers.
All summer Kentucky offensive coordinator Neal Brown said he thought UK’s offense would benefit from a bevvy of true freshmen playmakers.
Those players accounted for every score in last week’s 36-30 triple overtime loss on Florida. But Brown was not surprised by that or their play in two previous game.
“We saw some bits and pieces of it during fall camp. They’ve got a lot of reps. I think what happens a lot of times (is) freshmen, they don’t get the opportunity because you’ve got some mature kids or some veteran kids,” Brown said.
As coaches you always go with guys that know what to do. You don’t look at the freshmen as much as you should just because they’re learning, and there’s more comfort in those veteran guys. But we didn’t have a whole lot of veteran guys at those positions where they came in at, especially at receiver. So they got a lot of opportunity, and they showed flashes.
“They’re were a little wide-eyed early. They were definitely a little wide-eyed early, but I thought once we started rolling, once the first guy made a play, then they all started coming on.”
