Kentucky QB has been a quick study. Is he ready for his biggest test?

Every third question this week to Kentucky’s coaches has been some variation on how they plan to slow the dual-threat dilemma that is Nick Fitzgerald.

The Mississippi State quarterback, whom UK Coach Mark Stoops called “a big beast,” has had plenty of success against the Cats in his two times facing them.

But many of those same discussions are coming up in Bulldogs’ circles too about how to stop new UK quarterback Terry Wilson.

“A very good passer within the pocket and outside the pocket,” Mississippi State Coach Joe Moorhead said of Wilson on Wednesday to preview the game at Kroger Field on Saturday night.
