A serious argument can be made that Kentucky football’s offensive line held them back from big-play opportunities throughout this past regular season. The ability of Chris Rodriguez to effortlessly shed tackle after tackle also disguised their inability to run block at a high level.
Kentucky had plenty of other offensive issues, too, including quarterback Will Levis holding on to the football too long and now former offensive coordinator Rich Scangarello sometimes not putting his skill position players in the best situation to succeed.
Head coach Mark Stoops set out early on this offseason to bolster Kentucky’s offensive line that’s built the reputation over recent years as the “Big Blue Wall” and the key to improving this unit is one of the team’s newest additions: Marques Cox.
