This episode of The C.L. Brown Show features Kentucky safety Ty Bryant, who is coming off a season in which he was named to the All-SEC second team and led the Wildcats in tackles.

Former coach Mark Stoops made defense the Wildcats' calling card during his 13-year tenure, but Bryant details what will be different with UK coach Will Stein now in charge. For starters, Bryant believes the sack total may increase based on the way new defensive coordinator Jay Bateman aggressively pursues the quarterback. Bryant also explains why playing against Stein's offensive system in practice, and the many looks they give, is preparing the Cats for anything they may face.

Bryant also tells why he's all for the SEC's move to a nine-game conference schedule.

Hear about that and more on this week's episode of The C.L. Brown Show.
