We lose seniors, but we're replacing them with what should be equally if not more talented underclassmen. Our secondary future looks bright; we'll need to see the young LBs turn into players.

The defense unit will have to carry the day for UK to beat UL.

We have played 1 NFL level QB this year. This was a down year for the sec,which is why this season was so disappointing.
Our lack of pass rush is very concerning.you will never win against a good qb unless you can get more pressure then what we witness this year.
They play good coverage but have to figure out how to get pressure without bringing extra blitzers...you should get pressure by rushing 4 against UNC Charlotte EKU ect...

Did you notice that when UK was letting other guys play late in the game yesterday that it was mostly seniors? Tiller, Henderson, Quinn, Flannigan, etc. I respect the seniors for what they have done but the talent level is low.
