I think we are all ready to anoint this defense as the best in modern UK history and the performance against Missouri might have been the best yet. The 2nd half stats are almost too good to believe against a high powered offense like Mizzou. And it is because of that defense that you can easily reason how UK can beat Georgia on Saturday. It only seems the defense is getting better, as evidenced by the state below:
