Kentucky is Jekyll or Hyde against a Running Quarterback; the Case for Containing Malik Cunningham

“Oh no, NOT ANOTHER RUNNING QUARTERBACK!”

Once the bane of a Kentucky football fan’s existence, running quarterbacks did a number on the Wildcats for years. It took some time, but Mark Stoops finally reversed that trend, slowly but surely putting the clamps on opposing passers that moonlight as rushers.

This season it’s been a tale of two defenses. Kentucky suffocated one running quarterback, then let another run all over them. Will Dr. Jekyll pave the way to a Wildcat victory or is Mr. Hyde making another disastrous Kroger Field appearance?
