Projecting the SEC’s Top 5 passing offenses in 2015

5. Kentucky Wildcats


Preferred combo: QB Patrick Towles to WR Ryan Timmons
Underrated weapon: RB Jojo Kemp
Projected production: 2,997 yards, 28 TDs

Why it’s deadly: Tough call here with several teams in contention for the No. 5 spot, but we expect Kentucky’s Air Raid under first-year play caller Shannon Dawson to exceed expectations and flourish under a slightly revised philosophy. Dawson worked closely with Towles, Drew Baker and his group of receivers during spring to teach concepts and timing in his quick-strike scheme. Sophomore wideout Garrett Johnson is the wild-card. He caught six passes for 154 yards and two touchdowns against Florida, but only managed 16 receptions for 117 yards in 10 other games, combined. Boom Williams provides the thunder in the backfield, but Jojo Kemp’s the guy, if properly utilized, who could be a gamebreaker from a receiving standpoint in the screen game.

really believe that we will be significantly better on offence next year. could be very good with a much improved offensive line. with the situation at qb and the recievers we have plus the development of our tight end it could be a very good year. seems like year 3 is the bell weather as to how we are progressing.

Sounds encouraging. The Baker kid must have appeared out of thin air.

One of the new combination players, plays both QB and WR and often throws the ball to himself. Excels at both positions, only problem is at times he only wants to throw it to himself.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

I think we will have more passing yards than that. With Dawson increasing the pace of the game we will have several more opportunities to pass and throw. Wouldn't be surprised if Towles didn't have close to 3700 yards.

We will be better than this!

baby steps ---- the media is focused on the past and we have to be focused on the future

3000 yds. sounds about right to me. 28 TDs might be a little high unless he loads up with 4 or 5 in some of the nc games. I hope we establish a solid running game.
