1. The quarterback race appears to be even
Sophomore Gunnar Hoak and junior college transfer Terry Wilson, also a sophomore, are the two top two contenders to succeed Stephen Johnson as Kentucky’s quarteback for 2018. “Big shoes to fill,” said Wilson afterward.
So it stood the reason that those two got the vast majority of the reps Friday night at Kroger Field. Hoak, who starred in last year’s spring game, completed 14 of 25 passes for 121 yards and a touchdown. Wilson, who arrived from Del City Junior College via a brief stay at Oregon, completed 10 of 24 passes for 131 yards with an interception.
