SEC Lowdown: Wildcats hope to fill big shoes on offense
It’s no revelation that the cornerstone of Kentucky’s breakthrough the past two seasons was an offense that moved the ball and put up points against everybody.
Just ask defending national champion LSU.

Rich Brooks would like to see more consistency on offense this spring.
But if the Wildcats are going to make it three winning seasons in a row — something that hasn’t happened in Lexington (at least in football) since the mid-1950s — they might have to find a different modus operandi.
The offense has struggled this spring, and that shouldn’t come as a surprise with the likes of Andre Woodson, Keenan Burton, Rafael Little, Steve Johnson and Jacob Tamme all gone.
There still hasn’t been any clear separation at quarterback, where Curtis Pulley and Mike Hartline are battling for the starting job. They have some big shoes to fill. Woodson threw an SEC-record 40 touchdown passes last season and tossed 71 over his final two seasons.
