Kentucky's biggest strength: Linebacker

This week, we're taking a team-by-team look at the biggest strength for each team in the SEC. Next up are the Kentucky Wildcats.

Position: Linebacker

Key losses: None

Breakdown: The strength of this team in 2016 was its offense. The Wildcats averaged 37.5 points per game over their last six regular-season games thanks in large part to a rushing attack that finished third in the SEC.

However, it might be hard to duplicate that success in 2017. Kentucky’s top running back, Stanley Williams Jr., left early for the NFL.
