Deep Ball Drought: An October without one Levis long pass completion

The inaudible gasp, followed by brief silence and an unexpected roar from the stands reignited Kroger Field with the sounds of an explosive aerial attack. Will Levis completed five passes of 30 yards or more, three of which went 50+ yards, in the 45-10 win over ULM. Since the season-opener those deep balls have slowly but surely screeched to a halt.

Over the next six games Kentucky completed just five passing plays of 30 yards or more. Only one of those happened in the month of October, a miscue by LSU that left Justin Rigg wide open just beyond the line of scrimmage to scurry 34 yards down the field.
