There were more Kentucky turnovers (4) than incomplete Mississippi State passes (3) Saturday night at Davis Wade Stadium. Mark Stoops agonized over the 31-17 loss Sunday afternoon. When one reporter shared Will Rogers’ SEC record-breaking stat line, you could see the frustration in the face of the former defensive backs coach.
“The first thought that came to my head was, ‘Put a gun to my head,'” Stoops said during his weekly Monday press conference.
After starting the season 6-0, few anticipated seeing a Kentucky football performance like the dud the Cats dropped in Starkville.
