“I know this group will take it.”

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – UK is 2-0 Solid Blue fans.  It may have been ugly getting to that point, but it’s certainly a step up from starting the season 0-2 in 2016..

Mark Stoops is still smiling.  He’s still positive about this program’s progress and the team’s potential.

Another step must be taken to win the fourth straight in the South Carolina series.

The last 4 with the Gamecocks have been decided by a touchdown or less…and an average of 6.3 points per game.

So why is this team different, though?

Why does Stoops seem to be happier in 2017 than in years past?

Simply, this team is fun to coach.

Hear from Stoops in the video.
