Brad White’s defense gave Kentucky everything it could possibly give Saturday night, and then some. It was a performance that deserved to be celebrated with a victory cigar, not lamented after another agonizing defeat. It only gets worse for them from here.
Suffocating the Longhorns
Against a sputtering Texas offense, the Kentucky defense was simply suffocating. They held the Longhorns to a stunning 179 total yards and only 8 first downs for the entire game, including overtime. Highly-touted quarterback Arch Manning was held to just 132 passing yards and kept out of the end zone.
