3 takeaways: It wasn't easy, but Kentucky football is 4-0 after win over Northern Illinois

LEXINGTON — As his defense prepared for Saturday’s game against Northern Illinois, Kentucky coordinator Brad White offered a cautionary tale.

For as good as his defense had looked through Kentucky’s first three games, its season scarcely had started.

“We got a lot to fix,” White said. “We’re a long way from great. We’ve had a couple of solid games at this point, but it’s one quarter of the season. And this season is no different than a game, and that’s how we equate it. You can play one good quarter. You got three quarters left.
