Ole Miss and Mark Stoops are a heart attack waiting to happen for the Big Blue Nation. Three times in the last six years Kentucky has battled Ole Miss down to the wire. All three games were heartbreaking, gut-wrenching, vomit-inducing losses for Stoops’ Wildcats.
In 2017 the Wildcats hosted Ole Miss interim head coach Matt Luke at Kroger Field. A back and forth affair, Kentucky took control late, scoring the go-ahead touchdown with just over two minutes on the clock. The UK defense bent, but kept the Rebels in front of them, needing one more stop to end the game with a win.
