Challenges for Missouri
In Will Levis, Kentucky has one of the top-rated quarterbacks heading to the upcoming NFL draft. In his four-year career at Penn State and Kentucky Levis has 5,204 yards passing while completing 424 passes on 646 attempts for 40 touchdowns and 23 interceptions. However, Levis had a frustrating game in the recent 44-6 loss at Tennessee. He completed 16 of 27 passes for 98 yards and three interceptions. Mizzou’s challenge is to carry that Levis performance over to the game with the Tigers.
Saturday‘s game kicks off at 11:00 AM CT (12:00 PM ET). Watch this SEC football game on the SEC Network.
