The final stat line for Kentucky quarterback Zach Calzada in the loss to Ole Miss—15 for 30 for 149 yards—tells part of the story, but it doesn't capture the visible frustration, the miscommunication, and the overall lack of offensive rhythm that has defined the start of the 2025 season. And now, a few pointed words from head coach Mark Stoops may have signaled the end of Calzada's short tenure as the undisputed starter.
While Calzada’s 149 yards were an improvement over his meager 85-yard performance against Toledo in Week 1, the offense was once again stagnant.
