Mark Stoops and the Kentucky Wildcats are having a great year. Even after losing 30-13 at Georgia on Saturday afternoon, the Wildcats are a force to be reckoned with.
Heck, even scoring 13 points on Georgia’s elite defense is something to be proud of. After the game, Stoops addressed the media.
He gave plenty of praise to the No. 1 Bulldogs, adding that there are things for his team to play for moving forward.
Below are some of Stoops’ comments from his postgame press conference:

On Will Levis competing and having things to build on:
