5 players to watch as Kentucky takes on Eastern Kentucky

As the Kentucky Wildcats get set to host EKU on Saturday, here are five players to watch for the battle of Bluegrass programs.

#1. Devin Leary

In his first game as a Kentucky Wildcat, Devin Leary was 18/31 for 241 with a touchdown and an interception.

Early in the game, Leary seemed a little rusty, which is to be expected in a season opener after missing half the season last year. He missed on some early throws but began to look more comfortable and more in rhythm as the game went on.

On Saturday, it will be interesting to see how long Leary stays in the game, especially if Kentucky builds a comfortable lead.
