Style points don't carry as much weight when you're holding your team together with wire and duct tape.
Operating without its top running back, starting quarterback, and top all-purpose threat, Kentucky was far from a well-oiled machine Saturday against Eastern Kentucky.
But thanks to a steady-enough running game, a decent short-to-medium passing game and a solid defensive effort, the Cats still had enough in the tank to take care of the Colonels 37-12 in front of 67,053 at Commonwealth Stadium.
Kentucky Coach Rich Brooks knew he'd go into the Eastern Kentucky game without his top running back, Derrick Locke, who sat out with torn scar tissue in his surgically repaired left knee. And starting quarterback Mike Hartline missed his fourth game in a row with a knee injury.
