We are eight games into the Rich Scangarello era at Kentucky, and things are not trending well for the first-year play-caller. The former San Francisco 49ers quarterbacks coach and Denver Broncos offensive coordinator is overseeing an offense that is coming woefully short of expectations.
Through five SEC games, Kentucky is averaging only 17 offensive points per game. The Wildcats have not scored more than 31 offensive points in a game this season. UK ranks No. 12 in the SEC in yards per play (5.5) and is No. 95 nationally in red zone touchdown percentage (56.2%). Despite having an NFL quarterback, one of the best tailbacks in program history, and quality depth at both wide receiver and tight end, the offense simply cannot score points.
