Kentucky offensive coordinator Liam Coen was speaking my language on Tuesday evening. The new play-caller is preparing for an uber-aggressive approach from defensive coordinator Steve Wilks and Missouri this week.
The two former NFL staffers faced off head-to-head in recent years while Coen was an assistant with the Los Angeles Rams and Steve Wilks was the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals in 2018 and defensive coordinator of the Cleveland Browns in 2019.
While the Rams went 3-0 in the meetings, Wilks gave Sean McVay, Coen, and the rest of the offensive staff in Los Angeles some fits.
