Episode 17 breaks down Kentucky’s 27–20 loss to Ole Miss, a game full of swings, injuries, and missed chances. The Cats opened strong with Ty Bryant snagging two interceptions to spark a 10–0 lead. But momentum shifted when Ole Miss converted a 55-yard pass on 4th-and-1, leading to a quick score. Kentucky tied it 20–20 in the third, but injuries and offensive struggles loomed large. Zach Calzada went 15–30 for 149 yards before leaving with a shoulder injury, giving way to freshman Cutter Boley, who flashed late but couldn’t finish the comeback. Stoops said, “I think Cutter deserves the opportunity,” fueling talk of a QB change. Offensively, UK managed just two TDs, with six 3-and-outs and under 50% completions for the second straight week. The defense kept UK alive but gave up seven explosive plays, including the backbreaking 4th-and-1 shot Stoops admitted they had practiced. Late-game chaos with timeouts and substitutions drew criticism. Despite showing fight, questions remain about Kentucky’s offensive identity heading into a pivotal stretch.
