A big emphasis in this week’s preparations for the Cats was playing to their standard. Kentucky has had an unfortunate history of staying in tight games against FCS opponents, a la EKU, so Stoops put an emphasis on playing to the standards they have against every opponent.
“We’ve talked about it all week, playing to our standards, and playing the type of football game where we play to the best of our abilities,” said Stoops.
The most important thing to take away from Stoops’ presser is he expects that the players that play pivotal roles will be playing limited minutes to guard against injury.
