Kentucky Wildcats head coach Mark Stoops is the best coach in the program’s modern history. Specifically, only Bear Bryant ranks better on the all-time Kentucky coaching list. Stoops has turned Kentucky into a perennial College Football odds bowl program. That status was unthinkable before his arrival. But a quarrel over Kentucky being a basketball school with hoops coach John Calipari has observers wondering if Stoops will hop on the coaching carousel. This week Kentucky will find its gravity level. Specifically, UK is up against the defending national champion Georgia Bulldogs.

Given new life, Wright completed a 40-yard pass to Quincy Skinner Jr. to the Kentucky 9 on fourth-and-11. Late on, that set up the winning score.
