The Kentucky Wildcats are 6-1 and still very much in the hunt for the SEC East title, but they face a tough test this weekend against Mizzou.
QB Drew Lock got his confidence back last weekend against Memphis, and the Tigers are looking to pick up their first SEC win of the season.
On Wednesday, Kentucky DC Matt House discussed what makes Lock so difficult to face:

“He makes you win one-on-ones,” he said. “And it’s not all nine routes, it’s not all deep balls. He does a great job with hitches, slants. We’re going to have to be in position to, number one, win the deep ball, but also in position to tackle. A lot of their explosive plays come because people do miss tackles in the short, quick game. So we have to do a great job of not only covering, but tackling.”
Saturday’s game kicks off at 4 p.m. Eastern time and can be seen on the SEC Network.
