That's for making us buy out Mark Stoops

[u/legend023 → u/Unabashed-Citron4854]

Stoops would’ve went up 17-7, ran the ball for the rest of the game, and let A&M win 17-24.

Genuinely, I think the biggest difference was that drive we got the field goal on.

1st and 10 we run the ball for 2 yards.

Stoops ball would've ran it twice more up the middle, taken 3 minutes off the clock, and punted.

Instead on 2nd and 8 Stein has the balls to throw and we get a 32 yard gain.

This is the best comment right here. I like underdog SEC football and I think this is totally correct. I hate to say it but old school Kentucky football would have let A&M slip in by being too conservative

[u/phitsosting → u/Greedy-Ad3227]

It’s 110% true. Stoops played conservative with way too much time left. Stein was as conservative at the end but it made sense.

[u/crispyg → u/Greedy-Ad3227]

It was weird, we were always way to conservative under Stoops unless you're Mizzou and then we ball out for some reason

[u/Panem-et-circenses25 → u/walterdog12]

That pass to Boyer WAS the game. HUGE

[u/MikeOfAllPeople → u/walterdog12]

This is not even an argument we've literally watched that for years.

I miss yall having Stoops
