It’s hard to tell just how serious Eddie Gran is about ripping the wildcat formation out of the Kentucky playbook this season.
After the win over Eastern Kentucky, in which the Cats made two attempts at that package that went for a combined minus-2 yards, Gran said: “We might not be a wildcat team. We might not run wildcat ever again. Sometimes it’s good for you in a year. Sometimes it’s not.”
Just two days later, Kentucky’s head coach still seemed a little smitten with the direct-snap formation and its potential this season behind running back Benny Snell.
