Following Saturday’s closed scrimmage, Kentucky football outside linebacker JJ Weaver was surprisingly blunt with his assessment of last year’s offensive line.
“Last year we didn’t really have no good competition, being honest,” Weaver told reporters.
While this is hardly news to anyone that followed the Wildcats during the 2022 season, hearing Weaver say it out loud is the confirmation everyone needed — even the players knew how bad the offensive line was. That version of the Big Blue Wall was made up of pillows instead of bricks. But head coach Mark Stoops went into the offseason with the intention to address that issue and brought in a fresh group of linemen that more closely resembles the reputation that the late John Schlarman created many years ago.
