Kentucky quarterback Brock Vandagriff found himself on the bench during the second half of Kentucky’s third consecutive loss, as the reins of the offense were handed over to Rutgers transfer Gavin Wimsatt. Vandagriff’s performance in the first half of the game against Auburn, where he had 9-17 for 120 yards and an interception, led to the decision to give Wimsatt a chance.
Vandagriff acknowledged his need to improve, particularly on third downs, where Kentucky was 0-6 on plays with 7-10 yards to move the chains. Despite the setback, Vandagriff remains focused on improving and being ready to contribute when called upon.
Kentucky’s coaches have praised Vandagriff’s poise and competitiveness throughout the season, despite the challenges he has faced. Head coach Mark Stoops highlighted Vandagriff’s consistency and determination to help the team succeed.
Vandagriff, while disappointed to be on the bench, understands the decision and remains committed to improving and being ready to perform when needed. He emphasized the need to accept and learn from the coaching staff’s decisions, staying focused on being prepared when his number is called.
The quarterback situation for Kentucky remains uncertain, with Vandagriff and Wimsatt both potentially seeing playing time in the upcoming game against Tennessee. Fans will have to wait until kickoff to see who will lead the offense.
