2. Kyle Pitts is back

It’s been three weeks since Kyle Pitts has seen the field. In fact, he hasn’t played since Florida and Georgia matched up on Nov. 7 and he finished with just two catches for 59 yards.

Even without Pitts, Kyle Trask has been playing at an elite level.

But with Pitts, Trask is an even better quarterback. When you add the best tight end in the country to an already prolific offense, that’s going to cause some major problems for defenses. That’s going to be the case in this one as the Wildcats allow over 220 yards per game through the air. That number might just be doubled because of the Pitts effect.

Pitts is a matchup nightmare for opposing defenses because he’s quick enough to burn linebackers and tall enough to create issues for defensive backs.

This offense is going to make a major jump against Kentucky with Pitts finally back.
