Georgia is a strong football team and we can't make any mistakes if we expect to win or even come close to winning.

Kentucky will honor its senior players before Saturday’s home game with Georgia.

Those players came to UK with big expectations, but have suffered through three straight losing seasons, including 2-10 in both 2012 and 2013. They need one win in UK’s last three games to become bowl eligible this year.

Now coach Mark Stoops is counting on those players to help UK bounce back from last week’s disappointing loss at Missouri.

“I think it’s important to show some leadership and some character. We need those guys to step up and push us over the top, push the younger guys to, again, be more disciplined, to do the little things right, to create those winning habits,” Stoops said.

The coach appreciates what the seniors have done for his rebuilding program the last two years.

“Oh, they’re great. I love them. They’re a special group. They’re a very good group to coach. They’ve been a lot of fun. They really have,” Stoops said. “I think they’ve really helped us set the tone and change the culture and be great leaders, really trying to do everything they can to help us win.”
