LEXINGTON, Ky. — Coming off a 10-win 2021 campaign, Kentucky quarterback Will Levis had aspirations of reaching the Southeastern Conference championship heading into his second season with the Wildcats.

So, how was the projected first-round NFL draft pick feeling after UK's fell to 6-5 on Saturday night with its third loss in the last four games against top-ranked Georgia? After seeing the way his teammates responded to one of the most jarring defeats of the Mark Stoops Era in the week prior, one of the words Levis used was "proud."

"Guys just wanted to get back on the right track," he said after UGA topped UK 16-6 at Kroger Field.
