Four Takeaways From Kentucky’s 2018 SEC Media Days<\/h2>\n

Entering his sixth season in Lexington, Mark Stoops<\/a> is now the longest-tenured coach in the SEC East and second in the conference. Stoops was joined by linebacker Josh Allen<\/a>, tight end C.J. Conrad <\/a>and running back\u00a0Benny Snell in Atlanta to talk about the 2018 season. In addition to having 16 starters returning from a year ago, Kentucky has four potential All-SEC players. The Wildcats’ head man touched on a number of subjects and here are Four Takeaways From Kentucky’s 2018 SEC Media Days.<\/p>\n

No New Updates On The Quarterback Situation<\/h3>\n

The biggest question heading into fall camp remains “who is the starting quarterback?” Junior College transfer Terry Wilson<\/a> and redshirt sophomore Gunnar Hoak<\/strong> are competing to replace Stephen Johnson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Stoops told the media he is in no hurry to name a starting quarterback ahead of the September 1st opener against Central Michigan<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

#Kentucky<\/a>\u2019s Mark Stoops says he has no timetable on a quarterback decision. Says it wouldn\u2019t be fair to the players or the competition.<\/p>\n
