Edward Aschoff ESPN Staff Writer
Kentucky coach Mark Stoops with some high praise for Southern Miss QB Nick Mullens, who threw for a school record 4,476 yards and 38 passing touchdowns last year. Stoops said he'll be one of the best QBs the Wildcats see this season. "We'll face some very talented quarterbacks, that's for sure, but I have great respect for this kid. He is very good, very poised, you can tell he has great vision. He's seen everything. What I've been very impressed with is how accurate he is and how beautiful he throws the deep ball. He just drops it in there in some tight windows. He's been very impressive, so we'll have our hands full with him."
