In the first game of the 2019 season, five different UK receivers combined to catch 13 passes for 199 yards and two touchdowns. Eddie Gran said it was the best performance by a group of wide receivers since he arrived in Lexington in 2017.
“We didn’t have any dropped balls. I thought they played with speed and they made contested catches and I think we’ve been talking about that for three years now,” Gran said. “I was really excited by them. It was nice to see the distribution of the ball. It all felt like they were apart of it and in this offense, anybody can get it.
