Today Eastern Kentucky and the entire Big Blue Nation was shocked to receive the news that former UK defensive lineman Joey Couch suddenly passed away.
An All-SEC performer for Jerry Claiborne's Kentucky Wildcats, one of Paintsville's greatest representatives spoke with Bluegrass Sports Nation two months ago prior to the Tigers' matchup with Hazard. An assistant coach at Paintsville where his son plays, Couch took some time away from his team to talk about his favorite moments at UK. A goal line stand stop at Indiana is a memory that stands above the rest.
"I never really dreamed that my career would go as well as it did," Couch said. See everything Couch had to say
to Bluegrass Sports Nation:
All of our thoughts and prayers are with Couch's family in their time of need.
