Mark Stoops and Vince Marrow took a bit of a calculated risk.
The Kentucky head coach and his right-hand man packed Kroger Field on Saturday night with high school football players of all ages and talents: five-star seniors, three-star juniors, unranked freshmen, and everyone in between.

Not many foresaw what would go down on Saturday night in the Bluegrass State, though.
