Keys to the game
UK's offensive line, already adjusting to some new faces, will be without its steadiest veteran, Garry Williams, who will miss today's game with a knee injury and snap a string of 26 straight starts. That could be significant against Norfolk State's 3-4 defense, which presents an unusual look for the UK offensive line.
