Kentucky Football Rapid Reactions are Officially BACK

Like Chris Berman at the Home Run Derby, Kentucky Football Rapid Reactions are back, back, back, back, baaack, baaaaaaaaaack. GONE! Sorry, I got carried away there. I’m a little excited for the return of football.

Mark Stoops officially kicked off the 2025 season on Monday when he hosted the media for a 45-minute press conference at Kroger Field. A little more than an hour later, he was entertaining fans in the suites at the Lexington Kickoff Luncheon.

KSR had boots on the ground to take in everything the head coach — and the coordinators — had to say. After searching for crumbs all offseason, Stoops gave Kentucky football fans a few reasons to be excited. The offensive line looks the part, and there is some star power in the running back room.

“This offensive line is going to remind us of the great offensive lines we’ve had here,” Bush Hamdan told Tom Leach during an interview at the luncheon.

We got a few more reasons for you to be excited. Enjoy the first Rapid Reaction of the 2025 Kentucky football season.
