After dispatching plucky Murray State 48-10 Saturday before a sun-drenched Kroger Field crowd announced at 48,217, Mark Stoops and the Kentucky Wildcats are again face-to-face with a familiar peril.
When No. 16 Mississippi State (2-0, 0-0 going into Saturday night’s contest with Louisiana) comes to Lexington next week to face the Cats (3-0, 1-0), the Bulldogs will, in Nick Fitzgerald, be bringing what has long been the kryptonite of Kentucky defenses.
The run-oriented, dual-threat quarterback.
Kentucky backers do not have to be asleep to conjure haunting visions of the running QBs of the past who have gashed the Cats.
