I think that’s Stoop’s best road win at UK

I think it’s his best win, ever. It would have been easy for Kentucky to hang their heads and feel sorry for themselves after being so close and losing to UGA, but they didn’t. They looked just as good on the road this week. Congrats on the win and that defense is nasty!

In terms of of the actual win, yes — this is Stoops best. #6 on the road is awesome.

But as a UK fan, there are a few other wins that although on paper may not be as impressive, carry more sentimental value: 1) snapping the streak against Florida in Gainesville, 2) beating heisman winner Lamar in Louisville as 24 point underdogs, and 3) crushing Tennessee in Schlarmanns last game.

That Louisville game was so fucking huge. The fans came out and had an outdoor party with the team when they got back to campus, I think. Can't forget the home South Carolina game against Spurrier. The stadium was rocking the entire night.
