On Dec. 2, 2012, Mark Stoops arrived inLexington to accept the mantle of UK headfootball coach.

A little more than five months later, fanswill get their first glimpse at Stoops’ first team.

UK’s annual Blue/White Spring Game isset to kick off Saturday at 7 p.m. at Common-wealth Stadium. More than 40,000 fans havegotten tickets for the event, according to theUK Athletics ticket office.

On display will be new offensive coordina-tor Neal Brown’s offense. Brown, a disciple ofthe Air Raid offense, brings his system back toUK. The Cats ran the offense under head coachHal Mumme in the ’90s.

Fans will see three quarterbacks — juniorMaxwell Smith and sophomores Jalen Whitlowand Patrick Towles — continue the battle forthe starting role that has raged all spring.

“I’m not going to treat it with any moreweight than the first two scrimmages,” Brownsaid after Wednesday’s practice. “The reps havebeen about equal throughout. We’ll do the samething in the spring game.”

The quarterbacks’ order of appearancewon’t mean one is ahead of the other, Brownsaid.

“Don’t get too caught up about who goes outthere first, who goes out there second. We’llprobably flip a coin or something like that.”

Throughout the spring, the coaching staffhas said the defense is ahead of the offense.But, in last week’s closed scrimmage at Com-monwealth Stadium, Stoops was disappointedin the defense’s performance, saying the of-fense played with a sense of urgency and men-tality that the defense lacked.

On Saturday, he’s hoping for a more com-petitive outing.

“I need to see — I want to see just goodfootball, on either side,” Stoops said. “I justwant to see good competition, good effort,good execution and make good plays.

“I don’t want one side or the other to besuccessful because the other side is not playingright or busting plays and playing inept. So Ijust want to see good ball.”

The game will be broadcast on the IMGSports Radio Network, including WLAP inLexington and WHAS in Louisville. Thepregame show begins at 6:30 p.m.

CWKYT in Lexington will televise theBlue/White game on delay Sunday at 7 p.m.Fox Sports South also will televise the game onthree days: Sunday at 9 p.m., Wednesday at 11p.m. and Thursday at 2 p.m.

UK baseball tries to regain its winningways in the SEC when it hosts Tennessee fora three-game series this weekend at Cliff Ha-gan Stadium.

Sophomore left-handed pitcher A.J. Reed(2-4, 3.06 ERA) will take the mound in hisusual Friday start for the Cats, who rebound-ed from a series sweep by LSU with a 6-3win over Austin Peay on Tuesday.

As has been the norm during weekend se-ries this season, senior left-handed pitcherJerad Grundy will start Saturday and juniorleft-handed pitcher Corey Littrell will pitchSunday for No. 13 UK (23-9, 6-6 SEC).

The Volunteers are scheduled to start fresh-man right-handed pitcher Aaron Quillen (1-1,6.00 ERA) Friday, while junior right-handedpitcher Nick Williams (1-2, 5.59 ERA) will go

Saturday. Senior right-handed pitcher ZackGodley (2-4, 3.77 ERA) will start Sunday.Godley is one of two senior players for Ten-nessee (senior infielder Zach Luther is the oth-er).

“Tennessee presents the challenge of therunning game. It’s a pressure offense,” UKhead coach Gary Henderson said. “They tryto rattle you a little bit. Our guys have typi-cally been very good with that type of ap-proach because it’s similar to ours.”

Freshman outfielder Kyle Barrett willlikely bat leadoff for UK for the second con-secutive game Friday.

Barrett is leading the Cats in hitting with a.323 average. Junior second baseman J.T. Rid-dle is hitting .322 with 17 runs batted in, whileReed is hitting with a team-leading eight homeruns and 33 runs batted in. Reed and Riddle aretied for the team lead in total hits (39).

Prior to the LSU series, UK had won

three straight series to beginthe conference schedule, in-cluding two at home.

The Volunteers (14-17, 3-9 SEC) snapped an eight-game losing streak with a 4-3victory at East TennesseeState on Tuesday. Tennesseehas won only one SEC seriesin 2013, when it claimed twogames in a three-game seriesvs. Missouri.

Junior infielder Scott Priceleads the Volunteers in hitting with a .360 aver-age. Sophomore infielder Will Maddox is hit-ting .356 with 16 runs batted in and 14 steals.

Price also leads Tennessee in extra basehits with 12, including two home runs whichare tied for the team lead. The Volunteershave hit eight home runs as a team, whichranks 13th out of 14 schools in the SEC.

Tennessee also ranks last in the confer-ence in opponent’s runs per game, giving up6.29 runs per contest.

Friday’s game is scheduled to begin at6:30 p.m., with Saturday’s first pitch sched-uled for 2 p.m. Sunday’s rubber match is slat-ed for a 1 p.m. start. All games will be playedat Cliff Hagan Stadium.

After months of construction, the brandnew UK Softball Complex will have itsgrand opening this weekend as the No. 18Cats host No. 3 Florida in an SEC matchup.

UK (30-10, 8-4 SEC) is coming offthree midweek wins over non-conferenceopponents Marshall and Eastern Ken-tucky in a doubleheader. The first win inWednesday’s doubleheader was UK headcoach Rachel Lawson’s 182nd win of herUK career, giving her the most in pro-gram history.

In the win against Marshall and thesecond win over EKU, the Cats had tomount seventh inning comebacks to win,exhibiting the toughness Lawson wantsfrom her teams.

“We talk about toughness a lot, andthose wins are a perfect example of thetoughness we need for a deep postseasonrun,” Lawson said.

Freshman pitcher Kelsey Nunleypicked up her 19th victory Wednesday,tying her for the most single-season winsby a pitcher in program history with

Chanda Bell and Keary Camunas. Nunleywill more than likely have an opportunityto break the record this weekend againstthe Gators’ potent offense.

The Gators (39-4, 12-3 SEC) have hit57 home runs in their 43 games this sea-son. Florida is led at the plate by fresh-man infielder Kelsey Stewart, who hits.381 with 22 RBIs.

“Florida has a very potent offense,and it will be a good test for our pitch-ers,” Lawson said.

Junior pitcher Hannah Rogers leadsthe team in pitching with a 22-3 recordand 1.31 ERA. Rogers has struck out 158batters in 160 innings.

Florida has two other pitchers in soph-omore Lauren Haeger, who is 11-1 on theyear, while sophomore Alyssa Bache is 6-0this season.

The first game is set to begin Fridayat 6 p.m. The grand opening ceremony isset for Saturday at 11:45 a.m. with thegame set to start at 1 p.m and be televisedby ESPNU.

The series will wrap up Sunday atnoon with all games being played at theUK Softball Complex.

Dodgeball hosting nationals

TYLER SPANYERtspanyer@kykernel.comWhen UK basketball coach John Calipari

wanted to help his team relax ahead of a regu-lar-season matchup with Vanderbilt in February,he surprised them with a friendly game ofdodgeball.

Just down Rose Street, in Alumni Gym, an-other team has been playing dodgeball, but there’snothing friendly about UK Club Dodgeball.

Practicing twice a week and cruising to a16-1 record, the Cats have earned the chance tohost the National Collegiate Dodgeball Associa-tion championship tournament.

This is not UK’s first appearance in thetournament. The Cats made the Elite Eight in2011 and made a surprise run in the champi-onship last season at Saginaw Valley State.

“Last year we didn’t have really high expec-tations. We just kind of got there,” senior assis-tant captain Dakota Taylor said. “I think that fu-eled us to want more. It validated that we’re alegit team and we can compete.”

“It was a surprise run. It was fantastic. Wewent in just looking to compete in nationals andgive a good showing. In doing so, we ended upshowing a little bit more talent than anticipat-ed,” senior captain Zac Brown added.

With some new talent on the team, Brown

believes UK’s success this season shows thatthe Cats have what it takes to go the distance.

“I think it’s about experience. About 10 to12 of our guys have played for four years,”Brown said. “And besides the success with ex-perience, we’ve got a lot of new talent. Wehave four or five first-year players who are justphenomenal, and we’re like, ‘Where have youbeen for the last few years?’ The team we haveright now, we have a great mixture of experi-ence and first-year talent.”

“We have about 16 or 17 guys returning, andthat’s pretty good, considering there’s only 15people allowed to play at a time. We have a real-ly, really good core group of guys,” Taylor said.

Of those 15 expected starters this weekend,seniors Jacob Hughes and Wes Hopkins are ex-pected to have an impact. Hopkins’ fastest throwhas been clocked at 83 miles per hour, givinghim the fastest speed in the nation.

Taylor adds that he expects nothing short ofa championship victory.

“We’ve been ranked No. 1, No. 2 all yearlong, so we’re looking to win the whole thingcome Sunday,” Taylor said.

Standing between UK and Sunday’s competi-tion are Penn State, Michigan State and BowlingGreen State in preliminary rounds, starting with amatchup with the Nittany Lions on Friday.

HoroscopeAccording to Taylor, however, the teams

from Michigan are the most dangerous in thetournament.

“The Michigan schools are always tough.For the people that want to come, if you see aMichigan school on the schedule, watch thatgame. You know it’s going to be a goodgame,” Taylor said. “But the two teams I’mworried about are Grand Valley State and Sag-inaw Valley State, both out of Michigan.”

Despite the strength of the Cats, GrandValley State and Saginaw State, it is theGolden Eagles of Kent State (21-7) who cur-rently sit atop the NCDA standings. Thoughthe Cats have a higher win percentage(.9412) than Kent State, the Golden Eagles(.7500) have accrued more points through theduration of the season.

“The teams don’t play an even amount ofgames (during the regular season), so we tryto make that fair by doing a certain percent-age of your season record combined with acertain percentage of your wins during thepool play at nationals. That’ll give you yourseeding for Sunday,” Taylor said.

In a tournament that seems to favor thehome team, Saginaw Valley State, Grand Val-ley State and Ohio State have all won as hosts.The Cats will try to continue that trend.

To encourage attendance, Brown said thefirst 100 fans to attend the championshiptournament wearing UK blue will receivefree T-shirts.

After playing Penn State at 9:15 p.m. Fri-day, the Cats take on Michigan State at 10 a.m.Saturday and Bowling Green State at 1:45 p.m.Saturday, before the championship round Sun-day, should they advance.

WHAT IT’S ABOUT: Reformed liar, re-covered addict, fired from All Saints and soonto be divorced, Jackie Peyton (Edie Falco) hasbeen to hell and back, and hell and back and —as the fifth season begins — she finds herselfsomewhere in between: Dr. Cruz (Bobby Can-navale), who canned her last season, is gone —grieving for a lost son, Charlie, who died froma drug overdose last season.

Jackie was close to Charlie, too, but at leastshe has her gig back with Gloria Akalitus(Anna Deavere Smith) in charge again. As al-ways, All Saints remains dysfunctional: A newresident, Carrie Roman (Betty Gilpin), is moreinterested in her cellphone than her patients,while another new doc, Ike Prentiss (MorrisChestnut) — a former battlefield surgeon inAfghanistan — brings an iron discipline and anArctic temperament.

MY SAY: This all probably comes underthe heading of WTMI — way too much infor-mation — but here goes anyway: “Nurse Jack-ie” co-creator Liz Brixius left last spring tomove back full-time to Los Angeles (the showis shot in New York), so former “Dexter” bossClyde Phillips got into the driver’s seat for the

fifth season. The net result of this creativehandoff arrives Sunday, and the results are sur-prisingly mixed.

This show always has been a reluctantcomedy, so Phillips wisely hasn’t attempted toreverse course and turn it into a sitcom. But thecomic elements now feel intrusive or just plainforced. The whole rhythm is off. In one sense,that’s to be expected — Jackie’s rebooting herlife just as Showtime is rebooting her series —but some of that old fire has died down. Will itreturn?

There’s a real spark when Adam Ferrarajoins as a cop with a particular interest in onenurse a few episodes in, and one would reason-ably expect a roaring blaze when Cannavale re-turns later this season. Chestnut’s character —grim, stolid, full of himself — is a good addi-tion, too, if only because you suspect that atsome point, he and Jackie will either kill eachother or run off together.

BOTTOM LINE: Falco — as always —remains one of TV’s bright shining lights, buther “Nurse Jackie” suddenly feels like a workin progress.
