Days after the UK offense had one of its best days of Mark Stoops’ time in Lexington on Wednesday, the Wildcats returned to Commonwealth Stadium for the second scrimmage of fall camp.Calling passes on the majority of plays on Saturday, the goal was clear: gauging the progress of UK’s air attack.”I wanted to see where we are with the quarterbacks,” offensive coordinator Neal Brown said. “I wanted to see where we are as far as the receivers getting open. We did some good things. We got some growth to make in that area for sure and I think that’s going to be a big part of us improving on third downs: being able to protect, throw and catch.”The results, before film review, were mostly positive.”I thought we improved in predictable pass situations,” Stoops said. “That’s the best we’ve looked as far as drop-back passing. So I thought we made some improvement there.”Tight ends Steven Borden and Ronnie Shields each caught touchdowns, according to Brown, while Ryan Timmons, Rashad Cunningham and Dorian Baker impressed in the downfield passing game.  Timmons, however, knows consistency is more important than big plays to the offense’s development.”That’s what the offense needs to do to make drives and put a lot of continuous plays together to score more points,” Timmons said. “I think the offense, we’re working a lot to try to make more consistent plays.”UK’s contenders to start at quarterback split time as they have throughout fall camp.  “Again, they all did some good things and did some bad things,” Stoops said. “So, we’ll get in there today and evaluate this film and evaluate the past couple weeks and see where we’re at.”Brown, who has been quiet about the quarterbacks since Media Day last week, gave some insight into what he and Stoops will look for in evaluating that film.”I want to see who manages our tempo,” Brown said. “There’s a lot of things that go into that as far as getting the signal, getting us going. … Different quarterbacks operate our offense different as far as how quick they get the signal, communicate it with the O-line and those type of things. I want to see who makes the best decision, especially on crucial downs, third downs. And I want to see who’s most accurate.”After Wednesday’s scrimmage, Stoops said a decision on a starter would come “in the next week.” On Saturday, Stoops said nothing to suggest that timetable has changed, but he also reasserted that he won’t make a choice prematurely.”If we’re ready, if we feel like we have a decision after that, then we’ll make an announcement,” Stoops said. “If we don’t, then we’ll wait. I’m not going to feel rushed by that. We’ve got to get it right. I think each quarterback has really shown that they’re capable of leading this offense.”The quarterback battle has drawn the spotlight in fall camp, but UK’s defense — the “Bad Boys,” as the group has taken to calling itself — shouldn’t be forgotten either. The backups have work to do, but the defensive first team — led by defensive ends Bud Dupree and Za’Darius Smith — was stout on Saturday.”I think they just play faster,” D.J. Eliot said. “They communicate better. They execute more. And sometimes on the twos, it may be just one person that doesn’t execute, but that messes the whole deal up. So if you can get 11 guys doing it right, then you got a chance to be successful.”With two weeks to go before UK’s season opener, Stoops feels better about his team’s chances at success than he has in 20 months on the job.”We’re much further along,” Stoops said. “They’ve been really good about going about their work and just trying to take care of business each day and get better and be fundamentally better. X’s and O’s, schematically we’re doing a lot of things better. We still have a ways to go, but I like where we’re at. I really do. I think we have a good group.”As good as the group is, the Cats could use a break from the grind of fall camp.”Guys need to get away a little bit,” Brown said. “I told them, I said, ‘Hey, don’t even think about football until I see you tomorrow afternoon.’ ”
