Randall Cobb Should See All The Snaps At QB

If Kentucky football coach Rich Brooks had any thought of using Mike Hartline for a series or two at quarterback he should fuggettaboutit. Freshman Randall Cobb proved he's the man to lead the Cats offense. Saturday against Georgia Cobb rushed for more than a hundreds yards and threw for more than a hundred. Even though the Cats lost, the fact the offense put up 38 points is reason enough to be encouraged. Cobb engineered six scoring drives, the most since they had six against Western Kentucky in September.

Cobb's numbers aren't off the charts, he was only 12-20 for 105 yards. But he did run for 102 yards and he gives Kentucky hope. Not saying Mike Hartline is terrible, but the duel threat Cobb brings to the game is to valuable not to have on the field every offensive play. After the Georgia game Rich brooks said he planned to use Hartline a little bit, but Cobb was in such a good rhythm he didn't want to mess it up. My advice to coach? Don't mess it up the rest of the season. Stick with the freshman. He gives you the best chance at winning.
