Kentucky Responds to Criticism with a Question: "Who's Soft Now?"

Roman Harper ignited a fire under the Kentucky football team, fueling the Wildcats’ 26-16 win over No. 12 Florida.

Ahead of the highly-anticipated primetime showdown in The Swamp, the SEC Network analyst joined The Paul Finebaum Show and predicted a “dominant” win by the Gators after the Wildcats looked “soft” in week one.

“You were a little soft up front last week,” Harper said. “That is not what I’m used to seeing out of a Kentucky offensive line.”

The network tried to keep it quiet — they didn’t even include Harper’s appearance in the podcast description — but the comments still found their way to Mark Stoops.
