The Kentucky football team, UK Athletics and all of Big Blue Nation lost an iconic member of their family this week. On Thursday morning, offensive line coach John Schlarman passed away following his two year battle against cancer. He was just 45.
With heavy hearts, Kentucky traveled to Nashville, TN to face the Vanderbilt Commodores for Saturday’s game. On the first play of the game, Kentucky left their left guard positions unfilled and took a delay of game penalty. That spot was once filled by Schlarman during his time as a player at Kentucky. Respectfully, the Commodores declined the penalty.
