Stoops, Gran on whether or not Terry Wilson will really throw 35-40 times per game

Last week, Kentucky co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Darin Hinshaw made some news when he said he expects Terry Wilson to throw the ball 35 to 40 times per game this season, a major increase from last season’s average of 20.6 passing attempts. With Benny Snell gone to the NFL, it’s clear that Kentucky’s offense is going to be very different this year, but are the Cats really going to rely on the passing game that much? Not so fast, says Mark Stoops.

“[The running game] is important. You’ve heard me tell you the statistics. We do all the data and that’s not going to change.
