After a ten-win season and a Citrus Bowl victory, Mark Stoops has a ton of talent to replace. As almost a dozen Cats prepare for their NFL future, Stoops is cranking the physicality in spring practice up a notch to provide their replacements with valuable reps.

“We’ve tackled more. We’ve been more physical this spring. There’s a fine line there. We’re not trying to get guys injured. But the by the time it’s all said and done, we’ll have four live scrimmages and I’ve never done that before.
