Wednesday Quickies: Putting UK on the Map Edition

No Kentucky Football players have opted out of the upcoming season.

Kentucky linebacker DeAndre Square says there is a reason for that.

Square is expected to be one of the leaders of the Kentucky defense this season, taking over the role as the top inside linebacker on the team after a season in which he was second on the team in total tackles.

You have to love the optimism that Square is expressing from that tweet, and it seems like this is an attitude that is held from a lot of the players. With a lot of talent spread out across the depth chart, this season could be a prime opportunity for Kentucky to really make some noise in the SEC and across the country.

Please let us have football this fall.
