Instead of this sort of, we're going to play this kind of soft zone, bubbly coverage, we are going to disguise blitzes and we're going to come at you from a bunch of different ways.

Particularly on the front.

Like, there is...

Gap responsibility type fronts where it's like we're going to just kind of hold our ground and we're going to make sure we don't get beat.

And then there is get your ass back there and get to the quarterback by all means necessary.

Don't take yourself out of the play, but that's sort of the way that this Kentucky defense is evolving.

And I think that is the part that...

people were glossing over, particularly in this matchup, because that is a quarterback's worst nightmare.

First time starting on the road against a defense you don't really know what it's going to look like.

All your tape is going to be from Youngstown State.

They have experienced safeties.

They've got a really good front.

They're going to get after you.

I think Alabama is a bad matchup for Kentucky.

They play poorly at the beginning of seasons.

Their first SEC road game for Kalen DeBoer was a loss at Vandy.

Their first road game last year was a loss at Florida State.

Okay, you're talking me into this now.

Kentucky's going to play aggressive.

If you hit a couple shots, you've got a chance to win.
