University of Kentucky head coach Rich Brooks is using his team's rare appearance in the national spotlight to highlight the talents of his two top skill players.
Brooks said after practice Tuesday that he believes quarterback Andre Woodson and halfback Rafael Little should be in the conversation when discussing the best players in the country.
Woodson, a third-year starter, completed 30 of 44 passes for 275 yards and three touchdowns in Saturday's 40-34 win over then-No. 9 Louisville. The victory was Kentucky's first over a top-10 opponent since 1977, and first against its in-state rival since 2002. The win also catapulted the Wildcats into the Associated Press poll at No. 21, their first appearance in the poll since the end of the 1984 season.
"I've said it all along," Brooks said. "Andre's as good as anyone in the country. He's my player, so I'd say he's probably the best, but that's for other people to decide."
