Sports Illustrated thinks the Cats running game and defense makes them a viable foe for the Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC East but they have to clean up their passing game to really have a shot to make it to Atlanta for the SEC Championship game.
Despite the 5–0 start, Kentucky must show improvement in the passing game and cut down on mistakes if it is to be a true contender to Georgia in the SEC East. The Wildcats had only 132 passing yards and were flagged 11 times for 115 yards on Saturday, which constantly put the offense in long down and distance situations.
While quarterback Terry Wilson has been serviceable, the offense is not built to come from behind and those limitations could spell trouble later in the season. Wilson is completing more than 67% of his passes, but is averaging a pedestrian six yards per attempt.
