Limiting Virginia Tech’s Explosive Passes is the UK Secondary’s Final Test
Kentucky’s secondary has proved doubters wrong all season long. They have one more opportunity to make a statement in the Belk Bowl against Virginia Tech.
A unit that had to replace its top six players in 2019, most believed the secondary would be the weak-link of Kentucky’s defense. Cornerback Cedric Dort was happy to debunk that theory throughout the season.
“It’s crazy because at the beginning of the year we were picked last in the SEC as a pass defense. We finished first (in the SEC), fourth in the country,” Dort said with a smile on his face Saturday.
