A year after silencing the air raid sirens, Kentucky’s defense will be tasked to replicate that performance against Mike Leach’s improved offense.
This week on separate KSR podcasts, a couple of former Wildcats, Freddie Maggard and Van Hiles, likened the air raid to the veer option ran by the military academies. Luckily for Kentucky, they at least got an extra week to prepare for the unorthodox, pass-heavy offense.
“It’s a challenge when you face a different style of offense that you don’t see all the time,” said UK defensive coordinator Brad White.
