Down 21 to Florida in the fourth quarter, Kentucky<\/a> turned to Cutter Boley<\/a><\/strong>, a true freshman, to finish out the game at quarterback. Boley\u2019s college debut didn\u2019t go as he dreamt it would. He threw a pick-six interception on his first collegiate pass, chucking it right into the arms of a squatting corner who ran 29 yards the other way for a Gator touchdown.<\/p>\n

Boley was given another drive, and though he never connected on a pass, he showed some potential for down the road with composure and a nice touch on a couple of throws, one of which was reviewed and should\u2019ve been a long completion to Demie Sumo-Karngbaye<\/a><\/strong>. Three of Boley\u2019s six attempts were over 15 yards.<\/p>\n

After the game, Mark Stoops explained why he called QB3\u2019s number in Gainesville. First, Stoops clarified that Gavin Wimsatt<\/a><\/strong>, the backup to starter Brock Vandagriff<\/a><\/strong>, had no problem with Boley taking the keys from Vandagriff at the end of the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cGavin\u2019s gotten plenty of reps,\u201d Stoops said. \u201cHe knows that. Gavin completely understood that. It was more a matter of just getting Cutter an opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for Boley\u2019s first live reps at quarterback, Stoops told reporters, \u201cYou\u2019re throwing him right into the wolves\u2019 den there, but, you know, it\u2019s a tough situation for him, but he can handle it. It was hard. Until you get in there and see it, and, obviously, this a very tough place to throw him right in there, but he\u2019s a tough young man, mentally. He loves it.<\/strong>.. We just wanted to get him some reps. You know, it\u2019s hard to simulate all that stuff in practice and there\u2019s nothing that could compare with game reps.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stoops added that after Boley threw the interception, he told Stoops, \u201cPut me back in and let\u2019s go.\u201d<\/p>\n

No expected changes to personnel<\/h2>\n

During Stoops\u2019 postgame interview with Tom Leach, Leach asked if Stoops would consider making any personnel moves after losing two straight games.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re playing the best personnel we can,\u201d Stoops replied. \u201cWe need all hands on deck. We\u2019re getting thin. We\u2019re getting thin. We\u2019ve just got to get some of the best guys we can and, you know, that\u2019s it. Just gotta keep on working.\u201d<\/p>\n
