Welcome back, Kyle Pitts
What possessed Kentucky linebacker JJ Weaver to utter these words, I’ll never know.
“Kyle Pitts is most definitely going to see me this week,” Weaver said of Florida’s All-American tight end. “… We’ve just got to be more physical than him. That’s it. He is a great player. He’s going to get up and jump, but he’s just never had J.J. Weaver on him before.”
I asked Kyle Pitts if he had seen it and, sure enough, he had. It’s probably what prompted Pitts to get a warning from an official for something he said to a Kentucky player after his second touchdown, and what prompted his celebration after his third touchdown.
