Kentucky did not protect Will Levis last season under first-year offensive line coach Zach Yenser. The Wildcats finished No. 127 overall in sacks allowed (3.62 per game) while also ranking No. 95 in points per drive and No. 101 in yards per play. Inexperience and injuries were issues, as was communication under one-and-done offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello.
That’s how you wind up with the No. 95 passing offense (208.5 YPG), No. 116 total offense (324.7 YPG) and No. 112 scoring offense (20.4 PPG) in all of college football.
Poor OL play under Yenser in ’22
It wasn’t good enough, plain and simple.
