Kentucky football has built an offense with extraordinary all-around potential. Drew Barker is a promising young quarterback, Stanley Boom Williams and Jojo Kemp are explosive in the backfield, and the receiving corps is flush with playmakers.
Though potential isn’t production, the offense’s upside has left many to ponder the potential on the other end of the ball.
Kentucky plays in the most physical and defensive-minded conference in the country. The Big Ten is building itself back up, but the SEC remains the gold standard for college football.
According to Jon Hale of The Courier-Journal, defensive backs coach Steve Clinkscale understands that the defense will define Kentucky’s season.
