Challenges for Kentucky
Missouri has added another beast to its already formidable defense. Graduate transfer (Rice) linebacker Blaze Alldredge had a memorable debut against Central Michigan recording 3.5 sacks and a team-leading seven pressures. Kentucky was impressive in its opening game but Missouri is a dangerous opponent.
