Kentucky’s offense is no longer a ground-and-pound operation. Offensive coordinator Liam Coen and quarterback Devin Leary are committed to throwing the football around the yard in 2023. That was obvious in the first game and remained so in Week 3. But this is no dink-and-dunk operation that wants to beat defenses with efficiency.
The Wildcats have been big-play hunting on offense this season. Those explosive plays showed up on Saturday in a 35-3 win against Akron that saw Coen’s offense roll up 9.2 yards per play and score 35 points in 10 possessions.
