Perfect Combinations: Josh Forrest and Khalid Henderson lead Kentucky defense

The Kentucky Wildcats have relied heavily on the linebacker tandem of Khalid Henderson and Josh Forrest this year, and they've rewarded the Cats with their play thus far.

Coming into the 2015 college football season, many questions surrounded the Kentucky Wildcats' defense, particularly at linebacker.

Not only did they lose Bud Dupree (1st-round pick by Steelers) and Za'Darius Smith (4th-round pick by Ravens), but also lost TraVaughn Paschal and Mike Douglas from a defense that struggled mightily at times in 2014. Heck, they surrendered 37.5 points per game in SEC contests.
