Saturday night in Auburn was the "Winner Has to Keep Their Coach Bowl" with two fanbases desperate for change. After Kentucky's 10-3 defensive slugfest of a win, their first SEC victory since September 2024, the question on every Kentucky fan's mind is a painful one: Did Mark Stoops just save his job?
This win was a brutal, old-school SEC rock fight, a game defined more by punts and sacks than by points and highlights. You don't see very many games like this, but when you do, you can bet Kentucky is involved in it. For a program and a coach drowning in criticism, any win is a good win.
