QB Patrick Towles fires back at College GameDay, likes Kentucky's national championship chances

Brad Crawford | 9 years ago

Kentucky quarterback Patrick Towles is extremely confident as the outspoken leader of his football team this season.

He didn’t appreciate a tweet Monday from College GameDay referencing updated national championship odds that placed the Wildcats at 500/1. He voiced his opinion rather quickly:

Updated odds for National Champion: Ohio State: 5/2 TCU: 5/1 Alabama: 5/1 Baylor: 12/1 And if you're feeling lucky… Kentucky: 500/1

No, this was not a troll by the recently-named starter.

Mark Stoops said after his team’s first scrimmage Saturday that Kentucky’s striving for perfection this season.

Evidently, his players believe him.
