Tim Couch on Will Levis: "He reminds me so much of myself 25 years ago"

In 1997, Tim Couch pumped life back into Kentucky Football alongside Hal Mumme. Twenty-five years later, the football Cats are reaching new heights under Mark Stoops and another hotshot quarterback, Will Levis. There are many differences between where the program was then and where it is now — a contrast as sharp as the flashy Air Raid to the steady, trenches-first build under Stoops — but one thing remains the same: a big quarterback with a strong arm ready to lead the Cats into the spotlight. That parallel drew Couch to the training facility a few weeks ago to see Levis in action.
