It's going to continue but hopefully the players will get the experience to get better and come out next year and win some SEC games. We as fans have to keep the faith and hope for the best.

Kentucky Head Coach Mark Stoops
Opening Statement:
“It’s the same old song and dance, I’m upset and frustrated. I thought our team played hard but we just didn’t make plays when we had to. We had certain plays set up and we didn’t execute and they executed their plays, that was the difference in the game.

“Jordan Matthews was very hard to defend. He made some very nice plays and he’s a very good wideout. He was tough to defend, but other than that I thought the defense played very well.

“Offensively, I thought we controlled play pretty well. We just need to find some explosive playmakers.”

Does this loss hurt over the others:
“It does. We told our guys at half time we completely controlled the game, yet we’re still down three. We played extremely well on both sides of the ball. The turnovers and the blocked PAT were big differences in this one.”

On the fake field goal:
“Obviously, if I could go back and do it over I would. It wasn’t a guarantee we’d make that kick. It was 48 yards into the wind and Joe’s [Mansour] leg was looking a little off on kickoffs. I didn’t think he’d have enough pop to hit it through the wind and I thought it was a decent percentage of us making that play, it just didn’t work.”

On the play at quarterback:
“It was a frustrating day for Jalen, we didn’t play good enough at that position. I thought he had tough runs and we moved the chains. We’re doing the best we can, we need to get mores support around him.”
