In a column for ESPN.com, Will Harris picked teams to “Buy and Sell” ahead of week three of the college football season. Harris looked at Mark Stoops’ team using the perspective as a gambler. In the process he took the Cats to the woodshed. A look behind the ESPN Insider paywall:
Mark Stoops won’t get to end his tenure as Kentucky coach voluntarily like Rich Brooks did, but two aspects of his time in Lexington will stand out as parallels to the Brooks era. Stoops will leave Kentucky better than he found it, and he won’t be able to fashion a relevant SEC contender.
