Mark Stoops and the Kentucky Wildcats take down #6 Ole Miss

Mark Stoops spoke to the media after the game about why he went for it on that fourth down and how proud he is of the team's effort.

How do you feel after that win?

Mark: I’m just proud of the way our coaches and players stayed the course. We’ve gotten better each week and we needed to go play very well this week and we did that. I couldn’t be more proud of the effort. So proud for our fan base, they deserved a win like this…I mean, it’s our time and sure enough it happened. We feel very blessed and fortunate. Great win for everybody!

I don’t think many people anticipated you to go for it on that fourth down so what went into that decision?

Mark: It was a tough call. Your analytics will tell you to punt it but I felt like they were going to be very aggressive…So we went for it.
