2. Caleb Ducking

There’s no “Ducking” the leader of the receiving unit for the Bulldogs this season. Okay, no more puns after that one. (Just kidding, there will be plenty.) Senior receiver Caleb Duckling has been no stranger to the endzone this season, finding paydirt seven times already.

Ducking will be the biggest threat to the Wildcats’ passing coverage, and if we know anything, a Leach-led offense isn’t going to be afraid to attack any part of the field through the air. The Wildcats must contain Ducking in order to right the ship with a victory.
