Kentucky finished last season ranked No. 112 in tackles for loss allowed and No. 126 in sacks allowed. A leaky offensive line was a top reason why Kentucky slipped to No. 92 in success rate and No. 95 in points per drive. Drastic improvement is needed.
To help fix the offensive issues, head coach Mark Stoops convinced offensive coordinator Liam Coen to return to Kentucky and landed top-10 transfer Devin Leary to play quarterback for the Wildcats. The top goal for the program entering the season is to fix the blocking issues that plagued the offense last season.
