For all of Mark Stoops' success, there is one statistic that has persistently plagued his tenure: his team's performance after a bye week. The numbers are out there, and Stoops isn't hiding from them, how could he? Under his leadership, the Wildcats are just 6-10 after a week off, including a 5-9 record against SEC opponents. Yikes.

It's a trend that has frustrated fans and coaches alike, often halting momentum at critical points in the season.
