LEXINGTON, Ky. – To hear Kentucky coach Mark Stoops tell it, there was no celebrating, no dancing in his team’s locker room Saturday night.
“It’s routine now,” said Stoops, cracking an approving smile.
Kentucky football is 5-0 for only the second time in 34 years.
Routine? Hardly.
But the point was more that Stoops really likes this team, which has won five games by double-digit margins – three against SEC opponents – and is acting far from satisfied. Saturday’s 24-10 victory over South Carolina never seemed in jeopardy despite UK’s scoreless second half and relatively shaky finish.
