Not much worked in Kentucky football’s favor during the 2015 season. Kentucky finished at just 5-7, recording a record of 2-6 in conference play and narrowly missing out on the opportunity to play in a bowl game.
If there’s any one strength that can be pinpointed as a reason for optimism, it’s the defensive backfield.
Kentucky ranked No. 31 in the country at 191.8 passing yards allowed per game. It tied for No. 25 in the country with just 14 passing touchdowns allowed.
According to Jon Hale of The Lexington Courier-Journal, senior defensive back Blake McClain wants Kentucky to be the new DB U.
