March 13, 200818 yr Brandon broke his leg at Spring ball last year and that set him back. The kid is just a flat out winnner, and I would think a injury free spring for this year will only improve his chances. Either way I think he will see the field, as a starter or a replacement.

Brandon will see very little playing time at QB. He'll have to look at changing positions if he wants to play.
March 19, 200818 yr Here is an article about the upcoming game: Western, in its second year of its transition to Division I-A football, won't officially compete in Sun Belt Conference play until 2009. Its temporary status as an independent allows WKU some schedule flexibility. The Sun Belt Conference was in the process of re-arranging some league games to accommodate an ESPN made-for-TV game between Alabama and Clemson. When all was said and done, Western ended up with an open date on Sept. 27, the same date UK athletics director Mitch Barnhart was looking to find a game. "It came about very late in the process," Selig said. "It was just one of those flukes that just happened to occur. It made absolute sense for us to try and accommodate Kentucky." The move will provide Western with a financial windfall. The Hilltoppers will get $560,000 for the game, and will also get 4,000 tickets. The tickets will be available only to Western athletic association fund members and season-ticket holders. http://www.kentucky.com/295/story/348243.html
March 20, 200818 yr What is the early line on this one? 28? maybe 1/2 of that, WKU was 7-5, finished strong and returns a lot. the cats will have a fight.
April 7, 200818 yr Black and Wolke will both be back. Brandon will see very little playing time at QB. He'll have to look at changing positions if he wants to play. Brandon had a pretty good first scrimmage. I would never count him out just yet. Quarterback Brandon Smith accounted for three touchdowns and 130 yards of offense Saturday during Western Kentucky's first spring scrimmage. Smith, a Boyle County graduate, ran for 53 yards on seven carries, including a 48-yard score, and was 5-for-7 passing for 77 yards. Smith's first touchdown came through the air, as he drove the second team 45 yards in four plays. He hit Tamme for a 35-yard gain, then found Tamme for the score two plays later. Later with the first team, Smith turned a fourth-and-1 play into a 48-yard touchdown. He later scored on a 5-yard run after leading the offense 50 yards in seven plays. http://www.wkusports.com/news.cgi?article=6255&sports=5 http://www.amnews.com/public_html/?module=displaystory&story_id=39876&format=html
April 7, 200818 yr WKU will already have played Indiana and Alabama by the time they get the Cats. They are loaded with former Ky. star high school players. I think they could potentially give the Cats fits.
