The Big Blue Wall, a nickname earned from multiple years of extraordinary play from Kentucky’s offensive line, looked more like a medium-sized yield sign last season. The eye test made this evident from watching a hobbled Will Levis sustain sack after sack, however, advanced analytics show just how much the Wildcat’s front crumbled.
According to PFF, a premium statistics website that I will likely reference way too much this season, Kentucky’s starting offensive line averaged next to last in the SEC when it comes to performance. That’s right, the only team with a worse offensive line rating was Vanderbilt.
