Kentucky didn’t come up with the win against Tennessee, but if there was a silver lining from the loss, it was how the offense finally stepped up — particularly the quarterback play.
Devin Leary went 28-39 for 372 passing yards and a pair of touchdowns with zero interceptions. It was, without a doubt, his best game so far as a Wildcat. Sophomore wide receiver Dane Key had his best showing of the year too with seven catches for 113 yards and a score. The passing game finally looked like what everyone had expected coming into the season.
