LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky is quickly looking ahead after the Wildcats’ offence left coach Mark Stoops with few reasons for reflection. The Wildcats were outgained 364-254 by the Conference USA Golden Eagles and mustered just 78 yards rushing one season after producing a pair of 1,000-yard runners. Stoops took heart in the Wildcats winning despite those struggles, but stressed the importance of putting those first-game mistakes behind them. Kentucky’s hope is that familiar territory helps smooth things out as it faces neighbouring Eastern Kentucky in Saturday’s home opener. Right now, the Wildcats’ goals are putting last week behind them and reclaiming the offensive execution they’re capable of.
