Wow. A couple of things stand out as serious concerns:
(1) The right side of the o-line is YOUNG, with two sophomores, a red-shirt freshman, and a true freshman. I can foresee a LOT of stunts and rushes targeting those guys.
Right tackle
64 -- George Asafo-Adjei (6-5, 325, Fr.)
74 -- Cole Mosier (6-6, 335, So.)
Right guard
69 -- Ramsey Meyers (6-4, 320, So.)
67 -- Jarrett LaRubbio (6-6, 297, RFr.)
(2) The d-line has some serious youth as well. Check out these three positions:
Defensive tackle
96 -- Regie Meant (6-4, 302, So.)
99 -- Adrian Middleton (6-3, 295, RFr.)
Defensive tackle
90 -- Melvin Lewis (6-4, 332, Sr.)
69 -- Matt Elam (6-7, 360, So.)
Defensive end/Linebacker
35 -- Denzil Ware (6-2, 255, RFr.)
20 -- Kengera Daniel (6-5, 260, Fr.)
Once Melvin Lewis sits down for a breather, that whole side of the line is young. It could make for a long night against teams with veteran offensive lines.
I know that most of our talent is young, and we have to play them, but the SEC will make mincemeat of those guys until they finally "get it".
I just hope the offense can put the ball into the end zone frequently... we will need some points to compensate for such a young defensive front.

I just hope they have enough speed to play their positions.

It will be interesting to see just how good the TE position is this year.
I was wondering if King would get to do punt returns, but I guess they don't want to put a true freshman in that position. At least he will get to do kick off returns.
As for George AA, he was said to be one the strongest freshmen to ever set foot on campus. I would think that he is starting because he is just that good.
The position that surprises me the most is starting a true freshman at corner. The D backs are Stoops' specialty, so he knows what he is doing.
I like the fact that they are playing whichever player is the best at the position.

Right away I see problems are still there on offense. We have no big running back. They are all pretty light weight. Maybe speed will make up for that, but I'm not so sure. We have only one tall wide receiver, but if you're fast you can make up for some of that. I am still worried about the scoring. Hope our QB is more accurate this year. We will have to upset a couple of SEC teams such as FL and SC to get to a bowl game this year.

The "power" RB declared for the draft and has since been cut. I wish the best for Braylon Heard, but I thought he should have stayed in college.
The other big RB that Kentucky has, Mikel Horton, was ineffective at the heavy weight and dropped 15 lbs. Every time he got the ball he got stopped before he got going. Maybe he can pack 20 lbs of muscle on and carry "good" weight.
JoJO Kemp may not be a heavy weight, but I do seem to remember that he could run between the tackles pretty effectively. He shredded USC.
I am not worried about RB. Even if they do get dinged up during the season, the others are more than capable of taking on the duties for a game or two.

JoJo Kemp weighs in at 200 lbs which is solid for a 5'10" running back.
