It is bad enough to lose four out of the last five games, but Kentucky hasn’t exactly looked like the offensive juggernaut fans hoped to see when Liam Coen returned as offensive coordinator after spending a year in Los Angeles with the Rams. Despite repeated and noticeable efforts to play a little faster, Kentucky remains dead last in all of college football in the number of plays run per game.
The ‘Cats are averaging a mere 56.6 plays per game, the fewest by any team in Division I football in over a decade. The next closest team to them is Pittsburgh, who averages over three more plays per game at 59.
