Kentucky football’s “Big Blue Wall” continues to develop in new season

After allowing 47 sacks in the 2022 season, the most of any Power Five team, the “Big Blue Wall” underwent major reconstruction in the offseason.

Kentucky added two new faces to the starting lineup this offseason in Courtland Ford from USC and Marques Cox from Northern Illinois.

Ford immediately slid into the right tackle role with Cox filling in opposite of him as left tackle.
