For a Kentucky defense that appears to have returned to form, Saturday’s matchup against the turbo-charged Ole Miss Rebels is something of a measuring stick for coordinator Brad White’s unit.

They are coming off a 41-6 win against the Ohio Bobcats and were close to upsetting the No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs the week before, losing 13-12.
