Derrick LeBlanc has an unenviable task.
Each Saturday, he has to convince seven or eight guys — most taller than 6-foot-3 and weighing more than 300 pounds — to wait patiently for their turn.
Somehow, some way, Kentucky’s defensive line coach has made it work.
“‘Y’all put your trust in me we’re going to do big things,’” junior defensive end Calvin Taylor remembered LeBlanc promising when he arrived last season. “First year, we maybe had some guys didn’t buy in, but this year we’ve really bought in and we’re really close-knit now.”
