LEXINGTON, Ky. u2015 Justin Garrett says he's comfortable at his linebacker spot, Tre' Williams is coming back from injury and Cassanova McKinzy has a chance to make plays at his new position.

Auburn is hoping its sometimes-new defensive setup will pay dividends when the Tigers meet Kentucky at 6 p.m. Thursday on ESPN.

Some of the marching orders from defensive coordinator Will Muschamp are simple.

"Coach really talked about being more physical, being a more physical defense on the perimeter and in the front seven," Garrett said.
