After the most successful Kentucky football season in 41 years, Mark Stoops must replace 16 seniors and Benny Snell. From longsnapper to record-breaking National Defensive Player of the Year, all 17 players contributed in some form or fashion.

In spite of the losses, you can still find plenty of experience throughout the roster. The defensive line should be the best it’s been since Stoops arrived, however, in other position groups UK must lean on newcomers. How they perform under pressure will be the difference in a seven-win season or another history-making run.
