Throughout the 2016 college football season, the Kentucky football program has been able to rely upon its run game as an undeniable strength. Kentucky is averaging 186.2 rushing yards per game and has four dynamic running threats posting quality numbers.
With the running game bordering on elite, the Kentucky football team needs Stephen Johnson to legitimize the passing game.
Johnson made quite the splash against the New Mexico State Aggies, throwing for 310 yards and three touchdowns to no interceptions. In the three games that have followed, however,Johnson has recorded a combined 273 passing yards and no touchdowns to two interceptions.
