You would be forgiven if you entered the game versus Kentucky thinking that Brian Maurer was the quarterback making headlines in a victory. Most of us thought the true freshman would return to solidify the starting role, fully healthy with an array of weapons at his disposal.
Instead, we’re talking about Jarrett Guarantano going 7-for-8 for 115 yards and two touchdowns. He didn’t get many chances to air it out, but when he did, boy did he make it count.
Guarantano’s performance against Kentucky was shocking—in the best way possible. Despite dealing with a broken hand, Guarantano had arguably one of his more accurate days throwing the ball.
