5. Will Levis- this will be the biggest stage of the season
This is the perfect stage for Will Levis to prove why he is worthy of being a top 10 pick. It is without question that the Vols’ defense is the worst unit that will take the field. They rank 129th in passing yards allowed and 105th in points allowed. While Kentucky does not want to get in a shootout, I think there will be more than enough opportunity for Levis to have success through the air.
Another way Levis can have success is by running the ball. There should be more designed runs for him this week, along with a heavy dose of Chris Rodriguez. If the run game is as effective as it has been, this opens up some play-action passes down the field.
A perfect mix of run and pass could be the key component in the Wildcats pulling the upset. Will Levis has got it all in front of him to have a big game on a big stage. If he can protect the ball and take what the defense is giving him, I think Kentucky has a great chance of winning this game.
