"I would like to see our team mature and play 60 minutes, instead of playing really fast for 30 minutes or 45 minutes," Phillips said. "We have to play for 60 minutes."
Last year, Kentucky had problems coming out of the gate with slow starts but often turned on and had a strong second half. This year seems to be opposite, Kentucky has been coming out of the gate strong in both games, scoring on its opening drive both times this season, but seems to not keep the same focus for the entire second half.
Phillips said that the injury situation is the best that he has seen it at this point in the season.
"It is as good as I have ever been around at this time of year at game three," Phillips said. "We won't have (tight end Nick) Melillo, we will get Dakotah Tyler back. We had a couple bumps and bruises and we will probably lose (safety) Taiedo Smith for this week. The rest of them should be back with just bumps and bruises."
