Arkansas' date with Kentucky couldn't have come at a worse time for the Razorbacks.

The last thing the Razorbacks' defense needed after being worked over by Alabama's passing game last Saturday is a shootout with the Wildcats, who boast the most prolific passing game in the Southeastern Conference this side of Florida and Tennessee.

Behind the accurate arm of André Woodson, the Wildcats are averaging 48. 7 points and 257. 7 yards passing a game. With 21 receptions for 257 yards, Keenan Burton leads a group of six Kentucky receivers who have at least five receptions this season. Dicky Lyons is second with 13 catches for 167 yards, followed by Steve Johnson with 7 catches for 167 yards.

By contrast, Peyton Hillis is the Hogs' leader in receptions with nine grabs for 73 yards and a touchdown, and Crosby Tuck leads in yardage with two catches for 82 yards and two TDs.

What makes Ketucky's passing game so dangerous is that the Wildcats are not one-dimensional. Kentucky is actually second in the SEC to the Razorbacks in rushing offense, averaging 246 yards per game. Wildcats running back Rafael Little is third in the league in rushing, averaging 129. 3 yards per game.


Add that to the fact, the Wildcats are ranked second in the SEC in turnover margin, forcing two turnovers a game, and it's easy to see why the Wildcats are ranked.
