Less than 48 hours after Tennessee beat Kentucky for the third straight season, Mark Stoops went to the podium at Kroger Field to discuss the defeat and look ahead to the Mississippi State road trip.
“Traditionally we’ve had a tough time down there, so we have to get that fixed.”
That’s an understatement from the Kentucky head coach. The Wildcats have not won a game at Davis Wade Stadium since 2008, the same year I got my driver’s license, half a lifetime ago. Mark Stoops did not beat one SEC West team on the road during his first decade in Lexington, a trend that needs to change to snap the Wildcats’ three-game losing streak.
