The "good" news is they competed harder than they did against Mississippi State; the "bad" news is the end result was similar. The "worse" news is that Conrad had his season ended by a foot injury.
You have to face the fact that UK is just not competitive w/ the big-boys in the SEC. They have undoubtedly closed the talent gap but that translates to the opponent actually having to play to beat the dog-sh*t out of you instead of just coasting; and every once in a while you catch a break.
I am in no way bashing, a win against Louavull this week and this falls into the "helluva a good year" category and that's just my point. Can you imagine the statues that would be erected if UK put together a string of Butch Jones seasons? I like Stoops, I appreciate the job he has done and the trajectory of this program. If he can maintain the momentum I hope he is UK's coach for a very long time. My expectations are (I believe) realistic - they don't include many wins against the SEC elite.
Go Big Blue and make it a two-fer against the Cards.
