ANALYSIS: What Terry Wilson can do for Kentucky’s Offense

Kentucky’s starting quarterback will have plenty of hype when No. 3 steps on Kroger Field for the first time this Saturday. It’s fun to dream big dreams, but what can Terry Wilson realistically do for UK’s offense in year one?

1. Run-Pass Option

The RPO might be a college football broadcasting team’s favorite colloquialism. Tom Hart, Jordan Rogers and Cole Cubelic will mention dozens of dozens of times during each SEC Network broadcast, but it’s not just a fun gimmick.

With Wilson alongside Benny Snell, Eddie Gran essentially has two running backs in the backfield. When a defensive end doesn’t play disciplined football, the Wildcats will make them pay with a big play.
