The Sawyer Smith I saw play against the top 10 Florida Gators was certainly a worthy backup, and could play in the SEC. It’s clear either his wrist or shoulder or both are debilitating. Whatever physical ability he has left, he now has very little confidence. He really shouldn’t be out there - but unfortunately I don’t think we have another option. Here are the 8 quarterbacks on Kentucky’s roster:
Terry Wilson - out with knee
Sawyer Smith - playing with shoulder and wrist injuries
Walker Wood - has never taken a snap, knee surgery and 2 surgeries on right bicep
Kolbe Langhi - soph, never taken a snap
Nick Scalzo - freshman, out with knee
Patrick Delahunty - freshman, no scholarship offers I can find
Keegan Sullivan - freshman, no scholarship offers I can find
Amani Gilmore - freshman
So aside from Smith, 2 others are out for the year, and you have to wonder if Wood has anything left. 6 of the 8 have never taken a snap in college. At this point, Gilmore and Langhi are the only two options you realistically have, other than Bowden or some gimmick.
Truly a worst case scenario. At halftime of the Florida game, we were lining up and beating a top 10 team. At this point, given the situation at quarterback, you have to wonder if we have many - any? - wins left on the schedule.....
