## Caption

Will Stein might’ve gotten lucky missing out on Sam Leavitt. Kentucky originally pursued Leavitt, one of the biggest names in the transfer portal, but he left Lexington without committing. Stein pivoted to former Notre Dame QB Kenny Minchey, flipping him from Nebraska just one day after his commitment. Fast forward to Saturday, and Kentucky takes down No. 10 LSU 35-34 in OT as an 8.5-point underdog. Minchey threw for 246 yards with ZERO turnovers and scored the game-winning 2-point conversion. But what impressed me most wasn’t the stat sheet. It was his maturity, pocket presence, situational awareness and ability to stay composed in critical moments. Never looked jittery or overwhelmed by the moment. On the other sideline, Sam Leavitt threw his 8th interception of the season and lost a fumble. His decision-making and ball security continue to be major concerns. I wouldn’t be shocked if Lane Kiffin eventually gives Husan Longstreet or Landen Clark a look. There’s a difference between having the most talented QB and having the right QB for your offense. Right now, Minchey looks like exactly what Will Stein needed. The shiniest toy isn’t always the best one. #collegefootball #cfb #kentucky #kentuckywildcats #SEC
