Kentucky and Miami (OH) share more connections on the gridiron than you might think. When Mark Stoops’ team takes the field against the MAC school from his home state, his defense will try to do something that has not been done in more than a decade: pitch a shutout.
The former defensive coordinator’s calling card has produced some stellar units. In 2018 the Kentucky defense did not let Missouri get a first down in the entire second half. The week before they almost shutout Vandy in a 14-7 win. However, Stoops’ troops have never produced a final scoreboard with a goose-egg.
