    UK football notebook: Defense has found a leader in Love

    You will not find Courtney Love’s name on any stat sheet from last season.

    You will not find Love on any play-by-play for Kentucky.

    The junior linebacker has never played a down of football for the Cats, but he’s already become the defense’s undisputed leader this offseason.

    On a recent Friday morning, Love was in the UK weight room encouraging teammates.

    The transfer from Nebraska who sat out last season stayed after the rest of the defense had gone and did pull-ups with an extra weight resting on top of his thighs.

    Over his head on the bar was the word “dependability.”

    It’s what Love is trying to embody for a Kentucky defense that lost six of its top seven tacklers to graduation and a wealth of senior leadership in guys like Josh Forrest and Melvin Lewis.

    “Right now, we don’t really have anyone who’s taken that leadership role as far as guys left,” Love told the Herald-Leader recently. “I feel like I have to step in and do that. That’s what I’m here for. That’s why they brought me here for. I want to change this program.”

      Encouraging. Wish he could have lead Hatcher. I want so badly to be excited next fall. All good news like this helps my confidence.

          Good read. Got me excited for football. I was hoping Love would have been cleared last season. He's got a better chance to shine now.

              I have a really good feeling about Love.

                          Good news! Even though we lost several, I expect the defense to be better this season. I would have felt more confident had Hatcher not messed up.

                              I feel the same way, LH. I believe the def. will be better this coming season.

                                  My parents were. The Beatles were the soundtrack of my childhood. (with honorable mention going to: Peter Paul and Mary, Carly Simon, and Blondie {my brothers})
