First, most fans want to know how Stoops is going to replace Benny Snell or Josh Allen. They’re two of the greatest to ever play the position. You can’t expect one person to carry that load by themselves, but at least it is just one position. Eddie Gran has a trio of exceptional running backs and Brad White has a talented group of players lined up next to Allen’s former position on the defensive line.
Those losses weren’t the greatest hit Kentucky took. Since 2015 Chris Westry, Derrick Baity, Mike Edwards, Lonnie Johnson and Darius West were staples in the secondary.
