In the aftermath of Kentucky’s frustrating 20-14 overtime loss at Texas A&M on Saturday night, Mark Stoops told Tom Leach on the UK coach’s postgame radio show that the Wildcats brain trust “briefly discussed” replacing quarterback Terry Wilson with backup Gunnar Hoak.
Underneath the Texas stars, Wilson endured a long, lonely night in College Station.
In spite of a UK game plan that seemed designed to emphasize passing, the junior-college transfer threw for only 108 yards — and half of that came on a flip pass that Lynn Bowden took in the backfield and converted into a 54-yard touchdown that was a de facto jet sweep.
