Kentucky’s quarterback competition appeared to commence once Liam Coen stepped onto a UK practice field for the first time this spring. In the new offensive coordinator’s eyes, that competition has not yet begun.
“The spring was installation, the fall is competition…” Coen said on Thursday morning’s KSR. “The fall will really be a competition for us top see who’s ultimately going to be the starting quarterback.”
Described as a “measuring stick,” Coen used UK’s 15 spring practices to teach the Wildcat signal-callers the basics of the offense he learned from the L.A. Rams’ Sean McVay and develop a better understanding of the players in his meeting room.
