In 2016, UK Defensive Tackle Matt Elam is poised to have his best season yet.
There's an old adage in football: Games are won and lost in the trenches.
With most of Kentucky's production on the defensive line moving on, there's room for concern on that side of the ball. The Wildcats gave up 4.6 yards per carry last year with beasts like CJ Johnson and Farrington Huguenin towing the line.
With most of the returning snaps gone, where will the production come from?
Two words. Matt Elam. A name UK football fans are well aware of, this is truly a make or break season for the mammoth of a human being.
