Patrick Towles’ Monday Morning Wakeup

Yesterday’s news that Patrick Towles will transfer hit me like Kentucky’s loss to Louisville: sad, but expected. Patrick’s career at Kentucky had its highs — wins over South Carolina and Missouri — and its lows — 14 interceptions to only 9 touchdowns this season; however, if we learned one thing on Saturday, it’s that the junior from Fort Thomas was not to blame for the offense’s woes this year. Patrick’s inconsistency certainly didn’t help UK move the ball this season, but without Boom Williams, Drew Barker was faced with the same problems in the second half against Louisville. Few quarterbacks could overcome receiver drops, questionable play calling, and little protection from their line.
