I have started to feel a little bit sorry for Rich Scangarello. Since arriving in Lexington from the staff of the San Francisco 49ers, the new Kentucky offensive coordinator cannot seem to catch a break.
Through six games, Scangarello has had the services of star running back Christopher Rodriguez and lauded NFL quarterback prospect Will Levis in the same game exactly once.
At a school where the “Big Blue Wall” moniker bespeaks a proud recent heritage of strong offensive line play, Scarnagello arrived in a season when the UK offensive front is undergoing a total rebuild. Kentucky has no offensive lineman starting in 2022 in a position they played for the Wildcats in 2021 — and, boy, has that showed.
