Sometimes there are just no words, Kentucky fans. Assuming you watched — or at least heard about — Saturday’s game at UGA, today could be one of those times for you. So without further adieu, let’s just jump right in.
Here are 2 things you need to know today:
- For the fourth straight week, the Wildcats came up short and gained no ground on their quest toward bowl eligibility. Kentucky coach Mark Stoops is running out of things to say, so on Saturday he kept it simple: “We took a pretty good beating.”
- As such, the Wildcats could be making some changes with their quarterback strategy. Patrick Towles’ job sounds like it could be on the line.
