Why Lynn Bowden should be Kentucky’s QB1 for the Rest of the Season

I’ve had more than three days to let that thought marinate since I left Kroger Field in the early Sunday morning hours. The simple sentiment remains the same. Kentucky’s best offensive option is to stick with Bowden at quarterback for the rest of the season.

Some detractors will say, “You need a passing game to win.” How those people quickly forget how Kentucky won ten football games in 2018. The Wildcats won by running the football (200 ypg.) and playing defense (16.8 ppg., 6th in the country). Instead of adapting the winning formula following the departures of Benny Snell and Josh Allen, quarterback injuries forced Stoops to return to old faithful.
