Who’s Better: Terry Wilson or Sawyer Smith?
Terry Wilson helped Kentucky win 10 games for the first time in 40 years last season. However, Sawyer Smith stepped in and played extremely well in his first start for the Cats. It begs the question: Who’s better?The easy answer is Wilson won the starting job out of camp, so he has to be better, right? That’s not necessarily the case. There are a lot of factors that could have been the reason Wilson won the job.
First, Smith joined the team late. Remember he was a graduate transfer from Troy, so he had to finish his schoolwork before he could fully join the team. He might have been a bit behind from the start and just didn’t have enough time to fully learn the playbook or catch up.
