Going into the 2019 Kentucky football season, the roster seemed to be complete across the board. At quarterback, Terry Wilson was returning to lead the offense, with Lynn Bowden, AJ Rose, Justin Rigg, Josh Ali expected to serve as the go-to playmakers at the skill positions. As we’ve seen year after year under John Schlarman, the offensive line unit was also seen as an obvious strength.
Defensively, Josh Allen’s departure obviously hurt the pass rush, but players such as Boogie Watson, Josh Paschal, DeAndre Square, Kash Daniel, Chris Oats, Quinton Bohanna, and TJ Carter made up a deep and talented front seven.
