Kentucky has a passing problem. It’s abundantly clear. The problem lies with the passer and the pass-catchers. For now, let’s focus on the wide receivers.
In the second quarter of Saturday night’s game against Missouri, the wind got sucked out of the stadium by a fake punt that resulted in a 39-yard touchdown for Mizzou. The reeling Wildcats needed to respond. A false start on third and four backed the Cats into an obvious passing situation. Missouri teed off on Devin Leary, but the Kentucky quarterback somehow evaded the blitz. He found an open receiver downfield.
