They say that it takes until a coach's third full season before you can truly start judging his effect on a program. With that in mind, how will the Wildcats measure up as Mark Stoops enters his third year at the program's helm?

Improvement was evident for Kentucky in 2014, as the team improved to five wins from just two the year before. The Wildcats did, however, lose their final six contests to fall short of qualifying for a bowl game. Going 1-7 again in SEC play will not be enough to consider Stoops' third season a success.
