ATLANTA -- Kentucky Coach Mark Stoops gave a thoughtful answer considering he's been asked the same question constantly since taking over the Wildcats' football program in 2013.
"You can't hide from the elephant in the room," Stoops said at SEC media days. "It's been a long time."
LAST SEASON 7-6, 4-4 (tie 3rd) in SEC East
KEY RETURNING PLAYERS RB Benny Snell, TE C.J. Conrad, WR Tavin Richardson, WR Dorian Baker, LB Josh Allen, S Mike Edwards, S Darius West, LB Jordan Jones.
SEC TITLE SCENARIO The Wildcats return enough talent and experience to make a third consecutive bowl appearance and improve on their 7-6 records the previous two seasons.
