WE better find out quick as the game is tomorrow.

Kentucky defensive coordinator D.J. Eliot says stopping a mobile quarterback is not that complication.

“Well the key is you have to keep him in the pocket. Sometimes with those dropback quarterbacks, you just let the dogs eat. ‘He’s not going anywhere, so just get there however you can.’ But with these athletic quarterbacks, you gotta be smart in your rush lanes, make sure that you’re very conscious of where he is," Eliot said going into Saturday night's game with Missouri.

"If he pulls it down and tries to take off within your rush lane, then you gotta tackle him. When you’re rushing the passer, there’s different lanes that each rusher is responsible for. Most of the time, you rush four – that’s a regular defensive call.
