The team has tremendous wins and bad losses. The consistency that makes a great program is nowhere to be found, but what is around to be found is a dubious honor after the Texas A&M loss.
Mark Pope is now 20-15 with one more SEC game to go in conference play since being hired by Kentucky. That is not good; it turns out it is on the verge of being really bad.
