“Over this next stretch I’d like to be more consistent on third down,” White said after Wednesday’s practice. “We had a little bit of success there in the South Carolina game, but still, we’re not anywhere near where we wanna be. We did really well in the run game early in the season. These last two games, not nearly as good as we want. We’ve just gotta get better as a whole.”
The best way to beat an uptempo attack is to turn it against them. If UK can be effective in the early downs to force third and long, three-and-outs can stack up quickly.
