3. Will Rogers

Saturday’s game will feature a battle of the best quarterbacks in the country named Will. Will Rogers will be under center for the enemy and has had great success against the Wildcats in the past.

Last year, Rogers was near perfection through the air, thrashing the Cats for 344 yds and 1 TD on 36 of 39 passing. Rogers is once again lighting up the opposition under Leach with 22 TDs so far this season. The Kentucky defense will have its hands full with Rogers this weekend.
