The quarterback job will be won by the bigger gunslinger

Stephon Johnson had a lot of great attributes, and big-time moments during his two years as the quarterback for the Kentucky Wildcats. However, he never produced in one area Kentucky is emphasizing heading into 2018, which is the deep ball.

During this week’s press conferences, both head coach Mark Stoops and offensive coordinator Eddie Gran preached the importance of throwing the ball down the field.

“I want the ball in tight windows; I want to take shots.” Stoops said following Tuesday’s practice.

Stoops went on to express he wasn’t too worried despite the fact both Gunnar Hoak and Terry Wilson were both intercepted on balls thrown down the field.
