It’s not like Kentucky’s offense hasn’t been physical this season.
There were parts of games — like the second half against South Carolina or almost all of the game against Florida — that Kentucky looked like the same dominant, physical force that powered its way through several defenses last season.
Which makes games like last week’s against Eastern Michigan — when the Cats amassed their fewest yards of the season and struggled to make explosive plays — so perplexing.
That lackluster performance had Coach Mark Stoops calling for a more potent, powerful offense on Saturday against an anemic Missouri defense that is last in the Southeastern Conference, allowing 452.
