There's so many unknowns with UK, especially on offense, but I'll give it a shot.
UK is breaking in a new OC and a new starting QB. I like the hire of Gran, and I actually think he'll be a HC in a couple of years. I think he'll adjust the offense to the strengths of the players on the field, unlike Dawson, who said he didn't adjust play calling based on personnel. It was hard to get a read on QB Barker, as he only attempted 18 passes, and it was a spring game. I do know that he's a tough kid, is athletic enough to have the read option and some designed QB runs mixed in, as well as the full confidence of the staff.
As for the rest of the offense, I love our RBs, WRs, and TEs. The OL will be a great run blocking line, but may struggle in pass protection. The Juco Tate was supposed to come in and take the starting LT position, but hasn't beaten out a returning starter. Granted, he may still be getting acclimated, but Tackle in general is a worrisome spot in pass protection. I wouldn't be surprised to see Landon Young come in and win one of the starting Tackle spots as a true Freshman.
On defense, there really isn't a bunch to go on, because of so many new faces. Losing Hatcher hurt big time. DL is very troubling, especially the interior of the line. Most likely UK will get ran over again this year. LB is young and inexperienced, but lots of potential. Really like Ware, Allen, Laster, Love, and Jones. They'll for sure take their lumps though.
Now, UK's strongest group is the secondary. Those guys are young, but have played a bunch of snaps. Westry is a beast. He displayed that last year as a true Freshman. Baity took his lumps last year, but had some great moments. Darius West became a starter later in the year, and he's a missle at Safety. However, Mike Edwards came on very strong late in he year as a RS Freshman. He has excellent coverage skills as a Safety, great instincts, can read plays, is a heavy hitter, and has great closing speed. He has been labeled as the best player on the team.
Anyways, I think the UK UofL game will be a high scoring game because of UofL's offense, and UK's ball hawking defense. Hope you guys have an injury free summer.
