“Expectation” is a complex term. It can relate to recent performance or a historic standard or trend. There are mixed expectations when projecting the 2023 Kentucky offensive line which has traditionally been referred to as the Big Blue Wall.
The late, great John Schlarman established the Big Blue Wall. John was instrumental in identifying and recruiting specific high school prospects that fit in his vision of the “UK Way.” He then developed the collective into one of, if not the, best offensive lines in college football. KSR’s friend over at the SEC Network Cole Cubelic was the first talking head to recognize the Cats’ OL prowess.
