2. Kellen Mond will outplay Terry Wilson, allowing the Aggies to win.

Kentucky quarterback Terry Wilson and his running back Benny Snell have run all over their past opponents so far this season and have yet to let up against anyone. During SEC Media Days, Benny Snell said he was the best running back in the conference. Many laughed at that point, but honestly he is really starting to put his money where his mouth is and show that he wasn’t messing around when he made that statement.

Wilson is considered a dual-threat quarterback, but he favors making plays with his feet than he does through the air. He can make passes, don’t get me wrong. However, most of those passes are ten yarders at the most. If the Aggie rush defense can keep Wilson and Snell in check, this could be a long night for Kentucky.

On the other side, you have Kellen Mond- the sophomore quarterback for Texas A&M. He is also a dual-threat, but has shown the ability to hit the long ball on a few occasions this season. As it stands now, I could easily see Mond finding a way to evade Kentucky’s pressure and outplay Terry Wilson to be the better quarterback on the field by the end of the night.

For the Aggies to win, Kellen Mond will have to show that he is a top SEC quarterback and that he can beat and outplay anyone and everyone.
