Mark Stoops: Kentucky's offensive line will be better this season "without question"

The struggles from the Big Blue Wall this past season were hard to ignore. There wasn’t an SEC quarterback sacked more times in 2022 than Will Levis. As a team, Kentucky’s offensive line allowed 47 sacks, which ranked 127 out of 131 in the nation, per the NCAA’s stats website. Football Outsiders’ advanced numbers show that the Wildcats gave up a sack rate of 12.3 percent throughout the 2022 season, fourth-worst in the country. For comparison, Kentucky’s allowed sack rate over the previous three years was 6.0 percent (’21), 6.2 percent (’20), and 6.2 percent (’19).
