UK coach Mark Stoops previews Louisville game Jon Hale/The C-J
LEXINGTON, Ky. – Three things Kentucky must do to pull off the upset of Louisville, plus a prediction:
1. Hit at least a couple deep passes
Like the current Kentucky team, last season’s Wildcats relied on a powerful run game and winning the time-of-possession battle for most of their wins. So it was all the more impressive when quarterback Stephen Johnson hit wide receiver Garrett Johnson for a 75-yard touchdown pass on UK’s first offensive play against Louisville. The duo later hooked up for a 63-yard touchdown pass, and it was quarterback play that led the Wildcats to the upset.
