Stoops can move into second on UK’s Career Win list Saturday
A win over Missouri would not only put Kentucky over .500 for the season, it would be an important milestone in Mark Stoops’ tenure in Lexington.
Over eight seasons, Stoops has 46 wins at Kentucky, which ranks third on the school’s all-time list. If the Cats beat Mizzou, he’ll move into a tie with Fran Curci (1973-1981) at No. 2. The top spot belongs to Bear Bryant (1946-53), who had 60 wins at Kentucky before leaving for Texas A&M. UK Athletics included a great rundown of Stoops’ place in the record books in this week’s game notes, so let’s take a look.
