Whatever else one thinks of Mark Stoops’ coaching performance in No. 13 Kentucky’s dispiriting 24-14 home loss to SEC East-rival South Carolina, the UK head man got one thing very right Saturday.
In his postgame analysis, Stoops was dead-on about the most alarming thing about UK’s lackluster performance.
Yes, Kentucky (4-2, 1-2 SEC) was playing without starting quarterback Will Levis, No. 1 right tackle Jeremy Flax and defensive leader Jacquez Jones due to injuries.
