Unfortunately, the offensive struggles that we have been seeing this season hit after the first drive. Luckily, the Kentucky defense was continuing to do its job and kept Akron from scoring in the first half. ...

Devin Leary has injury scare vs. Akron
Dylan Ballard - A Sea Of Blue It appears Devin Leary is okay, but still concerning given his injury history. The Kentucky Wildcats had a hold-your-breath injury scare after quarterback Devin Leary was forced out of Saturday’s game vs. Akron due to injury. It happened in the fourth quarter when Leary took a shot to the midsection by an Akron defender while throwing the ball deep for tight end Josh Kattus, which was batted away and fell incomplete. After being down on the field for a few minutes, Leary got up and jogged off the field as if he’d simply had the wind...

You can watch the game on the SEC Network+/ESPN+ (go here for more info), WatchESPN, or the ESPN app. It was a bit of a shaky start to the season for the Cats, with some good and some bad.

Predict the outcome of Kentucky vs. Eastern Kentucky
Dylan Ballard - A Sea Of Blue Wildcats vs. Colonels in Week 2. After starting the 2023 campaign with a 44-14 routing of Ball State, the Kentucky Wildcats will look to fine-tune their offense that got off to a slow start, this time against Eastern Kentucky. The Colonels will make the 30-or-so mile trip up I-75 and will look to have a much better outing than their season opener at Cincinnati, where they were blasted by Scott Satterfield’s new squad. Liam Coen and Mark Stoops will look to get Devin Leary comfortable in his new offense, as he struggled in the first half...

Devin Leary is headed toward a big bounceback season
Dylan Ballard - A Sea Of Blue Will Levis may be a better NFL quarterback, but Leary is destined for college stardom The Kentucky Wildcats had mediocre quarterback play for the majority of Mark Stoops’ tenure until Will Levis, who was drafted at the beginning of the second round in the 2023 NFL Draft, finally changed that. Of course, it helped to have Liam Coen as offensive coordinator, and we all witnessed the step back Levis took when Rich Scangarello took over play-calling duties, albeit behind one of the worst offensive lines in Power Five football. Well, Coen is...
