“In the defense’s hands I feel very confident,” cornerback Derrick Baity said after the game.
Baity controls the team’s destiny because he’s on the field. Fans freak out in the stands. You might think that there would be similar feelings shared on the sidelines but, “It’s not,” receiver Kayaune Ross said. “We just gotta trust in our team to make the plays and do what we’ve been doing.”
The defense has proved that they can and will make plays in pressure situations. When the defense is on the field for the final play, Kentucky has walked away with a win every time.
