Kentucky will have a high bar to reach defensively in replacing eight starters from a 10-3 squad that beat Penn State 27-24 in the Citrus Bowl on New Year's Day. The Wildcats will also break in a new defensive coordinator in Brad White, who was elevated from outside linebackers under predecessor Matt House. Daniel, who played a key role last year, returns this season. (AP Photo/Wade Payne, File)
