Kentucky’s two exhibition games allowed fans to see what Mark Pope and his offense can do, and it was fun to watch. The Cats’ second game saw them take down reigning Division II champion Minnesota State, but it didn’t come at a cost. Amari Cooper was injured during the game, and left it early.
Pope initially said things looked good, but they were going to wait for further testing. Fans were understandably concerned with the season about to begin.

On Thursday, Pope reassured fans that Williams didn’t suffer a serious injury. He says Williams is day to day, and that they hope to have him back soon. They’re going to be cautious, however, and that probably means he won’t play in the season opener against Wright State.
Hopefully, it won’t keep him out of many games, and he’ll recover quickly. He figures to be an important player for Pope and the Wildcats in this transition season.
