Georgia steamrolls Kentucky in a game that summarizes the Mark Stoops era

Saturday’s game against Georgia wasn’t just a loss for Kentucky football; it was a thesis statement. It was a 60-minute encapsulation of the entire Mark Stoops era in Lexington: flashes of hope, undone by baffling decisions, poor execution, a sprinkle of bad luck, and ultimately, a lopsided defeat. The final score of 35-14 doesn't even begin to tell the story of a game defined by two disastrous, all-too-familiar moments that handed the Bulldogs complete control.

For a program teetering on the brink, this felt less like a setback and more like the end of an era for Mark Stoops.
