The D-word is a curse word for Kentucky’s inside linebackers. No, not that D-Word. “Depth” in Jon Sumrall’s meeting room is the only thing that can slow down Mark Stoops’ defense this fall.
In his first year as defensive coordinator, Brad White’s defense finished ranked in the top 20 nationally in three of the four major statical categories: pass defense (2nd), total defense (20th) and scoring defense (14th). All but four significant contributors return in 2020, teeing up for what could be the best defense most Kentucky fans have ever seen.
If you scan through the depth chart, Stoops and White have at least two solid options at each position.
