LEXINGTON – Call Mark Stoops a chicken if you want, but call him a chicken with a quarterback.
After telling the SEC Network broadcast crew he would eat a banana, peel and all, like Kentucky quarterback Will Levis did in his now famous TikTok video if Levis threw for 400 yards in the Wildcats’ 2021 season opener versus Louisiana Monroe, Stoops pulled his quarterback early in the fourth quarter when he was just 33 yards short of the 400-yard plateau.
“Doesn’t seem like then I have to eat the banana,” Stoops said with a laugh following Kentucky’s 45-10 victory.
