Dare Rosenthal is no stranger to Kentucky’s next opponent. UK’s starting left tackle grew up cheering for the Tigers in Ferriday, Louisiana. Recruited personally by Ed Orgeron, he traveled two hours south to Baton Rouge and won a National Championship. Saturday night he’ll go toe-to-toe against his former LSU teammates at Kroger Field.
Once rare, the emergence of the transfer portal has created more of these emotional matchups against former teammates. Dare is confident those emotions won’t get in the way of his performance against the Tigers.
“Every week is the same. We gotta play every week, every snap,” he said following Tuesday’s practice.
