I think our WRs are pretty terrible but Fitz is developing as a passer. He is one of the best running QBs in the country.

I have a feeling our WR corp is going to start to break out.

I certainly hope so although playing UGA and AU was pretty tough. Only Bama left with an elite defense so hopefully the passing game is better for the rest of the season.

Fitz's QBR is definitely impressive given the SEC defenses we've faced. But it's also indicative of how much we rely on his running ability in our offense. ESPN's QBR takes into account "points added" by passing and running, and then "points added" (or "points subtracted," depending on the case) via sacks taken and penalties assessed. Fitz's "points added" rankings for both running and sacks are stellar -- 3rd in the nation for both. His rank for "points added" via passing, however, is horrible -- 112th out of 131 FBS QBs.
A quick note about KY's run defense. Overall, they've done pretty well. But keep this in mind -- in three SEC games (vs. Missouri, SC, and Florida) they're allowing an average of 5.1 yards per carry. They shut down SC (2.7 ypc), but Missouri and FL ran at will against them -- MO averaged 5.2 ypc for 186 total rushing yards and FL averaged 6.5 ypc for 213 rushing yards.
If we could manage over 4 ypc at UGA and AU, and nearly 6 ypc against LSU, I'd like to think that we can run on KY as well as FL and MO.
