Kentucky‘s defense played exceptionally well in the Wildcats’ win at Mizzou on Saturday, holding the Tigers to only 17 points scored and 3.9 yards per play. The defense was led in tackles by Trevin Wallace, a second-year linebacker in for the injured DeAndre Square who missed his first start since the 2020 season. Wallace was pivotal in keeping Missouri off the board and earning Kentucky’s seventh win in the last eight meetings in the SEC East rivalry.
After the game, both Mark Stoops and Brad White raved about Wallace’s play in his second career start in the middle of Kentucky’s defense.
