We’re 17 days away from UK-Miami of Ohio at Paul Brown Stadium on Sept. 5.
For today’s chart, we look at the correlation between offensive line experience and Kentucky’s record.
Is there a correlation?
This is based on the depth charts heading into pre-season practice. The top chart breaks down the projected first-string linemen by year, number of returning starters, and letters won. The record is the won-loss record team ended up with at the end of the year. The bottom chart lists the invidiual players who were first-string heading into fall camp. The ones shaded are returning starters, though not necessarily at the same position.
