Former NFL Pro Bowler turned SEC analyst Roman Harper made headlines across the state earlier this week when he referred to Kentucky as “soft” ahead of Saturday’s showdown against No. 12 Florida. Harper made his comments on The Paul Finebaum Show, which didn’t take long for the national media to pick up on it. He later added that he hopes it “motivates” head coach Mark Stoops and his Kentucky football team.
Well, Stoops made an appearance on Finebaum Wednesday afternoon to talk about Harper’s remarks, along with some other pre-Florida questions. Stoops actually said he hadn’t even seen the clip until the SEC Network showed it to him while he was waiting to go on the show.
