For Mark Stoops, a win is a win. “That’s just how we drew it up,” he joked after the game.
It was a wild one from the get go. The Cats came out hot, and appeared to have played through first game jitters without a hitch. Then the second half happened and those jitters reared their ugly head.
He admitted there were some moments where the defense was difficult to watch, but that can wait until film sessions, “It was a great night,” Stoops said. “I’m not going to let the fact that it got a little sloppy in the 2nd half take away from that.
