Mark Stoops doesn’t see why the Kentucky Wildcats can’t run the table

Mark Stoops doesn’t see any reason why Kentucky has to lose a game this season.
Most observers have projected the No. 7 Wildcats as a possible 10-win team, but Stoops isn’t giving up on 12-0. After all Kentucky is a third of the way there.
Stoops expressed his opinion on ESPNU radio.
Mark Stoops on ESPNU Radio: "If people asked me at the end of the year, 'Hey, would you take 11-1 or 10-2?' I would say, 'No, absolutely not. What game do you want me to give up on? What game am I supposed to throw in the white towel?' We go out and compete to win every game."

Kentucky has a very tough road test this weekend at Ole Miss, another program ranked in the top 15. If the Wildcats can survive a trip to the Grove another tough road test awaits them at the end of the month in Neyland Stadium against Tennessee.
Then there’s Georgia on November 19, a game that Kentucky will likely be a heavy double-digit underdog in.
The odds suggest Kentucky will stumble once, maybe twice with its remaining schedule. But Stoops wants to play this one out and see where it goes. He has certainly earned that right.
