Hopefully this is the year with a winning season.

Kentucky coach Mark Stoops said Friday he was “comfortable” with where UK’s defense is as he goes through his third spring practice with the Wildcats.

“We transitioned from a 4-3 to a 3-4 (alignment). We really did a transition in the middle of year one. We started dabbling in it, and I just felt like I wanted to get ahead of it at that point. Learn the mistakes, learn the good and the bad from things. That’s why it pays for experience. But I’ve not been afraid to do that,” Stoops said. “I’ve not been afraid to switch things up defensively in the middle of seasons.

“You can draw up a million different schemes. They’ve got to be able to execute it, but you have to be able to play fundamental football and tackle people and play with great energy and play very disciplined football,” Stoops said. “I see us being more consistent with that. We’re not arrived, but I think we’re getting better, and we’re very comfortable (with) what we’re doing.”
