Inside The Play: QB GT Counter

Since Kentucky went to Lynn Bowden, Jr. full-time at quarterback, we’ve seen Eddie Gran install some interesting quarterback run concepts. The Wildcats have used speed option, draws, quarterback power, and a few others. However, with each week, the offense has continued to grow the package with some wrinkle.

In the win over Mizzou, UK used a GT Counter (both guard and tackle pulling) design that was helped setup by previous plays ran against Arkansas and Georgia. On the nail in the coffin touchdown drive following Max Duffy’s fake punt in the fourth quarter, the Wildcats used misdirection to get Bowden out on the left edge for a couple of chunk plays to finalize the big home win.
