Obvious problems were revealed in Kentucky’s inept offensive performance at Missouri, but none more so than the Wildcats’ poor passing game.
Terry Wilson and Joey Gatewood combined to complete 4-of-13 passes for 47 yards in the 20-10 loss to the Tigers. Even with a receiver playing quarterback, the 2019 Wildcats threw for more than 50 yards four times in eight games. Saturday’s dreadful performance moved the Wildcats into dead last in the SEC in passing yards per game. The next closest team, Vanderbilt, is throwing 20 more yards a game than UK. Only ten teams in the nation are averaging fewer passing yards than Kentucky, and most of those teams run the option.
