B.L.U.F. (Bottom Line Up Front) The Kentucky defensive line must become more disruptive and productive. 101, 10.5, and 6. These numbers represent the Cats’ returning defensive linemen’s combined productivity from 2017: 101 tackles, 10.5 tackles for loss, and 6 quarterback sacks. Defensive tackle Adrian Middleton was the group’s leading tackler with 25. He was followed by reserve defensive end Calvin Taylor Jr.’s 22 stops. The 6’9, 300-pound Taylor Jr. also experienced a solid bowl performance vs. Northwestern by registering 3 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, and 1 quarterback sack.
