Thorobred Football 2005 Outlook

This time of the year football coaches all over the country at every level of competition are chipping at the bit in anticipation of the upcoming football preseason training camp. Coach Fred T. Farrier, newly appoint head football coach for Kentucky State University, is no different. 

Coach Farrier, who will be entering his first season as a collegiate head coach, replaces last years interim head coach Cornell Burbage.  Farrier is taking over a program that has finished the past two seasons 7-4 with a chance to win the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) each year.

“I have watched Kentucky State University from afar and KSU has all the makings to be a champion on the field and in the classroom,” Farrier added.  “It’s an exciting time for KSU as a whole and I’m proud to have a chance to put in my personal touch on an already established entity.”

According to Coach Farrier the Thorobreds are in great shape.  There is a lot of optimism on and around campus.  The players are excited and working harder than they have worked before.  All things considered, the Breds are off to a solid start to the 2005 season.  After completing 3 weeks of morning workouts and 2 full weeks of spring practice.  The Breds finished with an exciting spring game that the players played hard in and enjoyed.

“The theme for this year is "You Make the Choice,” said Coach Farrier.  “We are asking our players to make the conscious decision to be a champion,” Coach Farrier adds.  “This includes in the classroom, around campus, in the community and on the field.  We are changing a mentality and our kids love it.  I feel like we have a great start to the season.”
